If you want to follow up to four World Cup games per day live, you have to plan a lot of time. The first World Cup games start at 11 a.m., the evening games don’t kick off until 8 p.m. If you want to follow World Cup games as live as possible, you either need a complete vacation until shortly before Christmas or a fast live ticker app on your cell phone.
FotMob, which is available free of charge for Android and iOS, works really well. The app is not only fast when reporting goals, but also scores with a few interesting tricks. For example, the app uses live activities on the new iPhones. So you can follow game scores right on the lock screen.
Setup is easy, you just need to choose which teams and events you want to follow. The current focus is of course on the World Cup, but the app also informs you live about the Bundesliga, Champions League and many other competitions. A user account is not absolutely necessary for this, but you can create one to synchronize the settings on several devices.
