Must-watch nights
The rivalries that fill rooms.
Some matchups sell themselves. Build a watch party around these and let the history do the marketing.
Argentina vs Brazil
Superclรกsico de las Amรฉricas
South America's two giants and the fiercest rivalry in the sport. Messi vs the Seleรงรฃo is appointment viewing โ and a guaranteed full house.
Mexico vs USA
The CONCACAF Clรกsico
The defining rivalry of North American soccer. In a co-hosted World Cup, a MexicoโUSA night will be the loudest room in the country.
England vs Germany
Tournament Old Foes
From the 1966 final to penalty heartbreak and revenge in 2010, no fixture carries more World Cup history between two nations.
Argentina vs England
Hand of God & All That
1986's Maradona masterpiece, 1998's red card, 2002's revenge. Few World Cup rivalries come loaded with this much drama.
Netherlands vs Germany
The Bitter Neighbours
Decades of needle between two football heavyweights who share a border and very little love. Always tense, always must-watch.
Spain vs Portugal
The Iberian Derby
Neighbours, friends, and ruthless competitors. Their 2018 group-stage thriller (3โ3) is one of the great World Cup nights.
The playbook
