2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.

2/5

Germany arrive in Toronto having won all five of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was the 7-1 thrashing of Curaçao in their World Cup opener on June 14, with 18 goals scored across those five games in total. Before that, they beat the United States 2-1 in a friendly on June 6 and put four past Finland without reply on May 31. Earlier in the spring, Germany edged Switzerland 4-3 in a high-scoring friendly and beat Ghana 2-1. Five wins from five, with just five goals conceded across that run.

Ivory Coast have won four of their last five, with their only defeat a 3-2 loss to Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Since then, the Elephants have been in solid form. They beat France 2-1 in a June 4 friendly, followed by the 1-0 win over Ecuador in their World Cup opener on June 14. They also beat Scotland 1-0 and thrashed Republic of Korea 4-0 in March. Across those five matches, Ivory Coast scored nine goals and conceded six.
