In case you've been living under a rock, it's the World Cup! Given that the World Cup only happens every four years, it's been a good time for me to reflect on how much has changed in how I've been watching the greatest sporting event on the planet since the last time the tournament rolled around. 

The biggest difference for me is internet streaming and the prevalence of unlimited data plans. I remember sprinting home to catch a shootout that my roommate was texting me about last World Cup, bursting in my door to catch the final shots. This year? I've caught up on matches while calmly walking back from the subway, streaming merrily in HD through YouTube TV. It’s nice to see tech bringing people together, just like the sport is supposed to do.
