Stay up to date with the latest World Cup news

By

The 2022 FIFA World Cup has started. Many of us already know where we can watch the games, provided work and life obligations don’t get in the way. But the truth is, it’s pretty much impossible for all of us to watch every single game on TV. The solution? Download any of the following apps and receive all the information directly on your cell phone; it doesn’t matter if you are an iOs or Android user.

Although this app offers coverage of more than ten sports, it is particularly focused on soccer. In fact, if you wish, you can choose not to see the information on other activities, such as tennis, car racing, hockey, basketball, etc. With 365Score, one can choose a favorite team in order to receive complete coverage of the preview of each game, such as possible lineups, related news, and details on the status of each player. This app also offers an attractive game narration system with data and graphics so that the sensation is similar to when we see a match on television. Oh, and it has a spatial interface for Apple Watch.

It is impossible to make a list of the best apps to follow live results and leave out Soccerway. This app was created in 1994, has more than a million followers, and covers more than 700 soccer leagues around the world. It is for the most fanatical of this sport (or for those who are really interested in following the competitions in Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cyprus, Fiji, or the Estonian fourth division). The app is available in 17 languages. In addition to statistics and live results, Soccerway offers information on a large database of players.

BeSoccer

Another of the most popular applications of the moment. It offers a simple yet attractive design that many soccer fans will appreciate. The first time you use the app, the user is asked to choose a favorite team and league, so that the user experience is more personalized. There is a complete schedule of matches so users can organize themselves, as well as a news section so that fans are aware of the latest news about this sport. There is also constant information on the state of the footballers, especially their most relevant injuries and statistics; the app can also compare different players.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game
john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Carnegie Club takes you back to Rat Pack days
Couch, Furniture, Body Part

Three blocks south of Central Park, before you find yourself lost in the hectic environment of Times Square, is a cigar lounge tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. It almost feels like a secret. A place only those in the know are privy to. Of course, if that is the intention, then lovers of this establishment will be coming for me in no time with their pitchforks. I am talking about The Carnegie Club—a cigar lounge sitting on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a normal, run-of-the-mill bar. No, this has a New York feel, but a specific kind of New York feel. One that harkens back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This feels like the Rat Pack days.

Isaac Rouse is our new James Bond…it’s not what you think
Young James Bond

We’re all out here waiting on pins and needles to see who will take on the iconic role of James Bond in Amazon’s newest movie series. All the while, 2026 is just dropping Bond project after Bond project to whet our appetites. From 007: First Light dropping for the gamers in the franchise, to King Zero by Charlie Higson and All In by Dan Jones hitting the bookshelves, to yet another project you get to sink your teeth into, Young Bond: SilverFin.

If the last one sounds familiar to you, then you are a fan of Bond on the page as much as on the screen. First published in 2005, SilverFin follows a young James Bond long before he is recruited by the 00 program. Also written by Charlie Higson, this release is a full cast audio drama set to invade yet another part of your life. And young Isaac Rouse is set to voice our favorite future Bond. And there are a few fun Bond historical connections among the cast as well.
