There are still 88 games to watch. And this is the cheapest way for it

We may still be a little down because of Spain’s draw yesterday, but there is a lot of World Cup left past. RTVE is offering several matches open and free, although if we want to see everything, then we have to subscribe to DAZN. And how much does that cost? If you do it a certain way, it can cost you a total of 35.97 euros. We tell you how to do it. Two months ‘Made in USA’ + the entire Soccer World Cup The price could vary. We earn commission from these links DAZN’s permanent plans are not worth it to watch the World Cup The Qatar World Cup, which was also broadcast in its entirety by DAZN, It cost a total of 19.99 euros. Beyond the price, the important thing about this event was that it was not necessary to have an active subscription to this platform. All you had to do was pay that amount and you could watch the entire World Cup with your account. That does not happen with this 2026 World Cup. Let’s go in parts. There are two ways to watch the World Cup: either choose the DAZN Premium Plan (which includes the World Cup and other competitions, such as F1, Moto GP or some LaLiga matches) or subscribe to one of the other DAZN plans and add the World Cup package to these. Spoiler: this last option is what is cheaper. As you can see in the image above, the Premium plan has a price of 25.99 euros per month. The problem is that, to access this price, we will have a stay of 12 months. If we want to avoid this, we will have to pay 44.99 euros per month and, since we have to subscribe for two months to see the entire World Cup (it is June 16 and ends on June 19), we would have to pay a total of 89.98 euros). This can be avoided. To do this, the ideal is to take the cheapest plan that DAZN has (right now, it is the so-called ‘Made in USA’) and add the World Cup package. This would be the breakdown: Plan ‘Made in USA: without permanence, costs 7.99 euros per month. Package ‘World Cup 2026‘: costs 19.99 euros and gives you access to the entire competition. Total: As there are two months, we would have to pay a total of 15.98 euros plus the 19.99 euros for the World Cup package. That is, 35.97 euros. Of course, it must be taken into account that DAZN requires all its users a 30-day notice to cancel. It is important to comply with this, since otherwise we would have to pay an extra month and the final price would become more expensive. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: world cup in dazn ✅ THE BEST There are almost 90 games left: If you like football, you will still be able to watch 88 games. You can see them on TV, mobile or tablet: The DAZN app is available for a multitude of devices, ideal if you want to watch a game away from home. ❌ THE WORST More expensive than the previous World Cup: Even if you subscribe in the cheapest way possible, the price to see the World Cup has almost doubled compared to that of Qatar. There are early morning games: There are some games that are being held after midnight, which makes it difficult to see them all. 💡SUBSCRIBE IF… You want to see more games than those that are broadcast openly, even those that are in the early hours of the morning. ⛔ DO NOT SUBSCRIBE IF… It seems too expensive to you or you don’t think you will see the games that are at a bad time in Spain.

It is the most faithful recreation of a Viking battle in history, in a film that you can watch for free on streaming this week

There is a sequence in sensational viking epic ‘The man of the north where the attackers move in columns, not in lines, as the Vikings actually fought. Any other production would have ignored that detail, but its director Robert Eggers remained faithful to reality. Now you can check it out for free and until June 19 on the platform RTVE Play. Historian William Short analyzed the combat in the film, evaluating how faithful the film’s depiction of battles was, and gave it a 9 out of 10 for historical accuracy, recognizing that the depth of Eggers’ research is reflected in the attention to these types of details. From Viking combat techniques to the credibility of the costumes, weapons and rituals of the time. For comparison, Short was much less generous with the 1958 classic ‘The Vikings’ with Kirk Douglas, to whom he gave just a 5 out of 10 for historical accuracy. Short’s starting point was precisely that battle formation in columns: the Vikings did not advance in long lines along the battlefield, and in the film three very characteristic advancing columns are distinguished. But his successes go further: Short also examined the figure of berserker played by Alexander Skarsgårdand although the nature of the berserkers remains somewhat mysterious, sources document that they went into a battle frenzy, howling like wolves and biting at their shields. As for the language, Eggers did not opt ​​for the usual English in these productions. He worked with Icelandic linguist Haukur Þorgeirsson to reconstruct Old Norse in ritual scenes and chants, taking poems written in medieval Iceland and reinterpreting them into what would have been the pronunciation of his time. In short: a must-see film for devotees of Nordic culture that is worth claiming, especially considering that it was a failure at the box office with just 69.6 million in worldwide receipts.

this is the cheapest way to watch all 104 games

The World Cup finally starts tomorrow. The inaugural match, between Mexico and South Africa, It can be seen totally free on RTVE. This same platform will show all the matches in Spain, but, What if we want to see all 104 games of this competition? Well, we have to check out, because it is DAZN that has the rights to the entire US World Cup. Now, How to do it to spend as little as possible? DAZN has lowered the price of its Premium Planwhich includes, in addition to F1 or Moto GP (among other things), the World Championship. This plan previously cost 31.99 euros per month and now costs 25.99 euros. But there is a catch: to enjoy this price, it is necessary to take the 12-month stay option, so the total would be 383.88 euros. We tell you how to watch the entire World Cup for yourself 35.97 euros. Two months ‘Made in USA’ + the entire Soccer World Cup The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The ‘Made in USA’ Plan, the key DAZN announced that a few weeks ago, to watch the entire World Cup, there are two possibilities: the Premium Plan, which includes everything, or subscribe to one of their other plans and add the World Cup packagewhich has a price of 19.99 euros. The latter is what the Qatar World Cup cost a few years agobut inevitably we will have to pay more in this case. As we say, the Premium Plan includes many competitions beyond the World Cup. We can subscribe without the 12-month permanence, but then the price rises to 44.99 euros per month. Due to the World Cup calendar, if we want to see all 104 games, We have no choice but to subscribe for two monthsso we would be paying a total of 89.98 euros. And even with that price, important competitions this summer like Wimbledon (which broadcasts it Movistar Plus) Monthly subscription to Movistar Plus The price could vary. We earn commission from these links So how can we subscribe to DAZN to pay as little as possible? The way to do it is selecting the most economical plan and adding the World Cup package. We break down what we should do: ‘Made in USA’ Plan: This is the cheapest plan that DAZN has. Its price is 4.99 euros per month, but if we select the plan that has a 12-month duration (it is not worth it). Better, select the plan without permanence that costs 7.99 euros per month. World Cup 2026: as we have explained above, it is a single payment of 19.99 euros. Total: The World Cup starts on June 11 and ends on July 19. What we need is two months of subscription, so it would be two months of ‘Made in USA’ (15.98 euros) plus what the World Cup package costs. That is, a total of a total of 35.97 euros to watch the 104 games. A small important note. This ‘Made in USA’ plan, if we contract it in this way, does not have any type of permanence. Now, DAZN demands that we notify 30 days in advance when we are going to unsubscribesomething important to avoid paying more. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: good time to watch the World Cup ✅ THE BEST Being able to see all 104 games: Although there are matches that we can watch completely free, DAZN is the only platform to watch the entire World Cup. You can watch it on TV, but also on your mobile: The DAZN app is available on a multitude of platforms, ideal if, for example, you want to watch a game away from home. ❌ THE WORST It is more expensive than the previous World Cup: For less than 20 euros we could see the entire World Cup in Qatar. It is true that there are more games this time, but that does not mean that it is more expensive. The need to contract a plan that perhaps does not interest you: You have to buy a plan to watch the World Cup, whether it’s Premium or any of the others. 💡 SUBSCRIBE IF… The Spanish matches are not enough for you, but you prefer to watch the 104 World Cup matches. ⛔ DO NOT SUBSCRIBE IF… It seems too expensive to you, you don’t want to contract a plan that you are not going to use or the matches in Spain are simply enough for you.

How to configure your Smart TV to watch the 2026 World Cup in the best possible way

Let’s tell you how to configure your Smart TV to better see the 2026 World Cup. The championship starts on June 11, it is almost here, and this edition will differ from the previous ones because, for the first time in SpainRTVE will broadcast all its matches in 4K and HDR for free on DTT. Therefore, we are going to tell you what you need to be able to watch the World Cup at the highest quality, and how to configure your television to be able to do so. This ranges from how to enjoy 4K broadcasts to how to calibrate image quality. What you need to watch the World Cup in 4K Before you start touching any settings, it is a good idea to know if your TV meets the requirements to be able to watch football in 4K. Come on, if you can see the La1 UHD channel. For that, you will need its resolution to be UHD or 4K, the two terms used for it. You will also need the TV to have a tuner DVB-T2which is the standard that TDT uses to broadcast in these resolutions. If your TV meets both requirementsthen you will be able to watch the matches in maximum resolution using the La 1 UHD channel. Of course, now you will have to search for this channel on your TV, and if you do not have it tuned, you will also have to retune your DTT. The channel was launched in 2024, so if you have retuned your DTT at any point since then you should have it. If your TV is 4K but does not have the DVB-T2 tuner inside, you can also opt for the DVB-I standard, a hybrid TDT-IPTV model. Additionally, you could also buy a DVB-T2 tuner for the television. If your TV is not 4K it does not have that tuner you can also watch the World Cupalthough not in this highest quality. You will simply have to watch the conventional La1 channel where they will also broadcast football, although with a less spectacular resolution. Calibrate your TV to watch football Regardless of whether you are going to watch the World Cup in 4K or FullHD on La1 or other platforms, there are other things beyond the resolution that you should take into account. Therefore, now we are going to tell you how to calibrate your television to make football look its best. First, look at your TV’s preset modes Before starting the calibration, it is first important that you know that Your TV may have some predefined picture modes with which to adapt the image to different scenarios. If there is one for football or sports, it could save you time, although they are not always well tuned. High-end TVs will have more and better modes, which can serve as a starting point or to not waste too much time. In these cases, it will always depend on each television, but you can start checking if there is any sports mode as a predefined calibration, and check how it works with it. Here, depending on the manufacturer, you may find that some brands even ask you to indicate the type of content to watch when activating sports mode. In this case everything will be even better, since you can select what you want to watch football so that the television modifies the parameters taking into account the predominant colors during a match. This would be the easiest setup for most people.. Your TV will generally adapt to watching sports or football, and you will have a good experience. But if it is not enough and you want to get the most out of it, you can calibrate the TV manually. Before calibrating in manual mode Assuming that most modern televisions tend to come very well calibrated, and that if your TV has a sports mode you may not notice much difference compared to doing manual calibration, it is also possible that you want to try it or just mess around. So, if you are going to start calibrating the TV, the first thing is to know that There are several ways to calibrate your TV.. The most complicated is using professional hardware or software, although this will require you to make an extra investment and have advanced knowledge in the field to be able to do it correctly. Then there is using commercial calibration software, which is somewhat more accessible. However, It can also be a little too complicated. for conventional users, especially if we only want to improve the image a little to see the football game better and not solve serious problems on the television. Therefore, we are going to focus on a third method, that of using free tools that you can find on the Internet. These tools allow you to have a starting point so as not to calibrate the television “by eye.” This is something that no longer requires an investment, and the tools usually have some indications to help you. We are going to use EIZO monitor testan online tool, but on YouTube and searching a little on the Internet, you can find others. You will have to have these tools open on TVeither by connecting your laptop via HDMI or opening them in the TV browser. So, with them in the background, you will be able to see the differences when making changes. To calibrate your television we are going to change 5 parameters of the TV settings: Glow: The amount of light our television emits. Contrast: The white level of the image and the overall luminosity. color temperature: The tone of the colors. color saturation: The intensity with which the television reproduces colors. Sharpness: the level of detail that the images have. If it is low, the image may be blurry, and if it is high, noise may appear. Therefore, if you are going to want to start calibrating your TV manually, the first step is look in … Read more

“How do I turn off post-workout effort ratings on Apple Watch?”

One of the directions that smart watch manufacturers are following to make their products more useful for our daily lives is to guide us in helping us with our exercises and workouts. But what happens if in their desire to give us all the information they end up bothering us? Sometimes they may show summaries related to our training which we prefer to deactivate. This is one of the questions that a xatakero asked us in our Discord who decided to take advantage The Officeone of the advantages of Xataka Xtraour subscription to access exclusive newsletters, raffles, promotions and other exclusive advantages. In this case, what we offer is a direct line with us to resolve questions like this. The xatakero who consulted us told us that his Apple Watch makes effort evaluations every time he finishes an exercise, and that he could not find the option to deactivate them. This is what I answered myself, and that, being an editor at Xataka Basics, I am very used to solving and guiding these types of problems. The question Hello. I need help setting up something on the Apple Watch. When I released the watch I configured a lot of aspects, as we all have done. One of them is the assessment of effort after performing an exercise (for example: after doing 30′ on a stationary bike). Well, it turns out that it becomes very difficult to make an assessment every time you finish the exercise. How can I eliminate that step and have the exercise end without further ado, without asking for an evaluation of the effort? Thank you. Our response Effort summaries are a relatively new option with which the Apple Watch tells you whether you have exercised hard or it was a lighter workout. The option to disable them is a little hidden, but we still gave it to you. The option that must be deactivated is “Effort reminder”. You will find it in the app watch of the iPhone where you configure the Apple Watch. Within this application, enter the section trainingwhich appear with the icon of a running person.

Marvel just gave 48 minutes of unfiltered violence to its most extreme character and you can watch it today on Disney+

Frank Castle, better known as the Punisher (or The Punisher if you’re an old-school comic reader), hasn’t had his own series for seven years. Since Netflix canceled ‘The Punisher’ in 2019, the character has survived on the margins of the MCU until ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ rescued him in 2025. Now Marvel has opted for a different format with him in ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’. It is not a series or a movie, but 48 minutes of a borderline antihero, co-directed by Jon Bernthal himself and with a level of violence that Disney+ never allowed before. ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ comes with the “Marvel Television Special Presentation” label, a format that the studio premiered in October 2022 with ‘The curse of the werewolf‘. The format is a kind of laboratory: projects of between 45 and 60 minutes that function as self-contained stories without the pressure of sustaining a series for several weeks. Both ‘The Curse of the Werewolf’ and the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special worked as cult pieces, and with Punisher, Marvel has taken the experiment to the extreme, because its adult rating is the first on the platform for a Marvel Studios project. Here we will see how an unexpected force drags Frank Castle back into battle. The Punisher believes he has eliminated the Gnucci crime family, the last link to his family’s murderers, and the surviving matriarch, Ma Gnucci, comes to him not to negotiate but to settle scores. The first half of the episode focuses on visions that haunt Castle; the second is a real-time action sequence inside an apartment building reminiscent of ‘The Raid’. The idea for the series arose during the filming of the first season of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’. Bernthal asked the director for permission to develop something centered on Frank Castle. The two had previously collaborated, and that gave Disney confidence to have Bernthal co-write the script and serve as executive producer. Shot on real locations in Queens and Brooklyn, the photography is by Robert Elswit (Oscar winner for ‘Wells of Ambition’), a firm that visually elevates this bet far above a typical television film.
