A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on May 21, 2020 at 9:02pm PDT

Ariana Grande has the second most followers of all on Instagram, well third if you count the social network’s own account. We’ll get to the top dog in a moment but number two belongs to the pop sensation Grande. Already a global star at the time she won hearts a couple of years back when her concert in Manchester, UK was bombed by terrorists and she showed solidarity with the victims and even threw a benefit concert. Her Instagram account offers a behind the scenes look at her concerts, selfies, and cool Instagram stories as well as many public appearances, with the odd personal Instagram photo thrown in for good measure.

Selena Gomez – 178 million followers

Hot on the heels of Grande is Selena Gomez who began her career appearing on children’s TV shows. She’s since moved on to singing, acting in TV shows, and is also a TV producer. As seems to be the trend now for owners of Instagram mega accounts, Gomez has set up a beauty firm too, which itself has over a million followers. This account is very much the same as Grande’s, showcasing Gomez’s fame and beauty in a tasteful fashion.

Beyonce – 147 million followers

Queen Bee comes to take the final spot in our top three most popular Instagram. Beyonce is more of a cultural force of nature than your regular superstar. Everything she touches turns to gold and she has a voice that soothes the nation. This Instagram account just screams star power.

The number one movie star in the world, at least according to Instagram, is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It’ll probably be no surprise to most of you at all who are no doubt following The rock for all his movie insider posts and powerful workout assistance and motivation posts too. Recently, however, The Rock has also been using his account to plug his new Tequila brand as well.

Jennifer Lopez – 122 million Instagram followers

A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on May 18, 2020 at 8:11am PDT

J Lo comes in as the second most popular movie star on Instagram, with her recent role in Hustlers showing that she still has plenty of power on the big screen. Lopez is another multi-talented star, however, and her Instagram account reflects this, showcasing posts from her slots on TV, performing in concerts, fashion shoots she’s done, and more.

Kevin Hart – 91 million followers

A post shared by Kevin Hart (@kevinhart4real) on May 29, 2020 at 2:50pm PDT

Movie star number three in today’s list is funnyman Kevin Hart. Hart ascended to mega movie star status from the stages of the stand-up comedy circuit and has never looked back. He’s since become a bit of an onscreen lothario and you’ll plenty of posts here of his training as well as more family-focused content too.

Cristiano Ronaldo – 221 million followers

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) on May 7, 2020 at 9:17am PDT

So here we are. Who would have guessed that the biggest Instagram account in the world would belong to a sports star? Portuguese Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo takes the top spot, with over 20 million followers more than Grande in number two. Ronaldo’s account is very much a window into his family life, but it also includes plenty of personal snaps and a few training photos to go with them too. It has to be said, Ronaldo’s Instagram account makes him look like a really nice guy.

Leo Messi – 152 million followers

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Leo Messi (@leomessi) on May 1, 2020 at 7:11am PDT

Instagram has spoken and declared Ronaldo the winner in the beautiful footballing battle that has been waged between him and Leo Messi for more than a decade. Ronaldo has almost 70 million followers than Messi, which proves only one thing, Instagram doesn’t know anything at all about football. We bet you Instagram even calls it soccer! Messi’s account is in fact pretty similar to Ronaldo’s to be fair, offering an inside look into Messi’s real-life while also showcasing training videos and photos alongside the odd post advocating for good causes.

Neymar – 138 million Instagram followers

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ene10ta Érre ?? ? neymarjr (@neymarjr) on Apr 4, 2020 at 12:49pm PDT

Another footballer takes the third top spot in sports Instagram accounts with the Brazilian Neymar taking the honor. You have to go all the way down to 38th most popular Instagram account in total to get to a sports star who isn’t a footballer that falls on Indian cricketer Virat Kohli who sits just above Justin Timberlake. To be fair to Instagram on football, they’ve called it OK here, he’s incredibly talented but not fit to lace the boots of Messi or Ronaldo so his position in number three is well warranted.

How to use DAZN to watch live sports

If you haven’t heard of DAZN yet… you will.

If you’re a fan of live sports, DAZN is an app that allows you to stream the action in HD across as many as six devices. As the company gobbles up more broadcast rights, there’s a good chance DAZN will become part of your streaming package soon if it isn’t already.

DAZN Live Sports Streaming Download Free ►

What kind of sports are available on DAZN?

It may depend on which country you access it from. In the U.S., that means a lot of boxing and MMA fights. The company has acquired rights to events in Japan’s Nippon Baseball League, Spain’s La Liga, and Japan’s B.League basketball games. In Canada and Japan, DAZN is home to the UEFA Champions League games. The company also signed Canelo Alvarez to an 11-fight deal on the platform. This year, DAZN has the Brazilian rights to Copa Sudamericana, Serie A TIM and Ligue 1. In Spain, you can use DAZN to stream MotoGP, English Premier League, and Euroleague Basketball. Your results may vary from country to country.

Where can I watch DAZN?

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the United States. It will soon be available in Brazil.

How much does it cost?

In the United States, you can either pay $99.99 for a full year or $19.99 per month. Obviously, the annual deal saves you money, but if you only want to watch one fight, the price isn’t bad.

What devices will it work with?

Smart TVs, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Stick, iOS/Android devices, PC and laptop, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Is there anything to watch besides sporting events?

Although DAZN is still relatively young, it is branching out to the kinds of sports shows you’d find on ESPN or FOX Sports. Its most prominent offering is ChangeUp, a daily MLB show cohosted by former HQ Trivia host, Scott Ragowsky. The production offers the same, stale brick wall background you find on many other sports shows. And the hosts sometimes show up in T-shirts. It seems laid back and casual if that’s your thing.

How to watch the 2019 Women’s World Cup online

The Women’s World Cup is here! Here’s how you can watch it!

If you’re like us, you cannot wait to watch the FIFA Women’s World Cup. However, if you live in the U.S. where soccer is nowhere near as popular as it is in countries where they call it football, you may be struggling to figure out where to watch it.

You might be lucky and have a sports bar nearby that will be streaming every game. However, you might also live in a place where a baseball game would take precedence over a soccer game.

Luckily, we’ve got you covered with services that are here to help.

How to watch the 2019 Women’s World Cup online

fuboTV

If you’re looking to just watch the end of the Women’s World Cup and nothing else, you can do so for free with fuboTV.

Depending on your plan, fuboTV offers between 99 and 167 channels as well as access to more than 100 events streamed in 4K.

The service offers a one-week free trial, so you can watch it, and then ditch the service. If you don’t, you’ll be stuck paying the monthly subscription fee, which starts at about $55 per month.

If you’d like, you can really take advantage of the free trial period and add premium channels such as Showtime, which you can also watch unto your trial is over.

To subscribe, either download the app or visit their website. You will need to create an account by entering your email address. You also need to enter your credit card information after choosing a plan. However, you will not be charged unless you watch beyond your free trial.

Hulu + Live TV

Unfortunately, you can’t watch the Women’s World Cup with just a normal Hulu subscription. If you could, this would be a pretty short article. However, you can still watch it through Hulu, you’ll just need to shell out a few more bucks.

For about $45 per month, you can sign up for Hulu + Live TV and watch the Women’s World Cup to your heart’s content. You can also get a one-week free trial, just like with fuboTV.

Before you start your free trial, you should check to make sure that one of the channels showing the Women’s World Cup (FOX, FS1, or FS2) are available in your zip code. You can check on the Hulu website. Finally, you need to make sure that your device supports Hulu before you go with this option.

Also, like with fuboTV, you need to create an account with an email address as well as enter credit card information. Again, you won’t be charged until you exceed your free trial.

If you already have Hulu, upgrading your current package probably sounds better than buying a separate service altogether just to watch the Women’s World Cup.

Hulu Plus Download Free ►

Sling TV

If you don’t want to miss a single game, then Sling TV might be your best option. Currently, the service has a deal for you to get your first month for 40% off.

Sure, it does stink that there isn’t a free trial. However, since those free trials were only for a week, you wouldn’t have been able to watch every game for free anyway as the Women’s World Cup is about a month long.

When you purchase your subscription, make sure that you choose a plan that includes Sling Blue. Sling Blue is the only package that has FOX, FS1, or FS2 (it actually has all three). With the discount, Sling Blue on its own costs $15, making it the cheapest option thus far.

Sling TV Download now ►

PlayStation Vue

Vue has always been one of our favorite ways to stream live TV. You can build a package that includes 85 channels. You can have up to 10 different DVR profiles. You can watch on your smart TV, computer, phone, or tablet. And there’s a free 5-day trial. After the trial ends, you can still watch all the games on their most basic package for $44.99/month. If you have an Apple TV or a PS4, you can watch multiple channels at the same time.

PlayStation Vue Mobile Download Free ►

FOX Sports Go

If you have a subscription to a cable or streaming service, you can also log into the FOX Sports Go website and watch the games there.

FOX Sports GO Download Free ►

Watch for free

If you don’t feel like paying to watch the games, you can see all the highlights on the FOX Sports Twitter account. No, you won’t be able to watch the entire game, but you can see every goal after it happens. If you want to watch the games live and in their entirety, then this isn’t for you.

Take it away, ladies! ?? #FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/JX4KlXjDwZ

— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) June 7, 2019

Some of the games will be broadcast on your local FOX affiliate, so if you have an antenna, you can get those games for free.

Wrapping up

For all practical purposes, Sling TV seems like the best choice. It’s the cheapest option you have for watching every game during the Women’s World Cup. No matter what option you choose, we hope you enjoy watching the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup!

Baseball breakthrough: Use your iPhone to order a beer to your seat

It’s not officially summer until you’ve kicked back at a baseball game. And it’s not officially a baseball game until the beer guy comes along to sell you an admittedly overpriced (but refreshing) cold one. But have you ever needed the beer guy and he’s AWOL? Where does he go? Doesn’t he know it’s 97 degrees and you’re sweating and your team forgot how to hit and you need something to drown your sorrows?

A new pilot program will allow some lucky fans to use their iPhones to order a beer directly to their seat. Don’t get too excited just yet. The trial is limited to 10 games at the Phillies’ ballpark and only in specific sections. But the potential is exciting.

This video describes how it works:

Just pull out your iPhone (sorry, Android users) and scan a QR code on the seat back in front of you. That opens a chatbot and you can see a menu of your options. Then order and pay with Apple Pay. Eventually, the beer guy will find you and deliver the suds (or water).

The program runs July 20-25 and August 2-5 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. And you’ve got to be sitting in section 142, 143, 144, or 145.

The program makes use of something called Apple Business Chat, and if the pilot succeeds, we might see this technology rolling out across the MLB and beyond!

The hosts will take on Saudi Arabia, in what will be one of the few games of the tournament that you’ll want both teams to lose. If only it were possible. Then from Friday, June 15, we’ll be treated to at least three World Cup matches a day until the group stages conclude on June 28.

Why stop there? Why not take the action with you wherever you go? Why not be a part of the action? Go on your own search for glory! You can do both with the official FIFA Mobile Soccer game. The free-to-play mobile game for iOS and Android now has its very own World Cup mode complete with all 32 of the teams that’ll be taking part later this month.

There will also be separate story mode that includes 16 nations that failed to qualify for the tournament.

Other modes include a VS mode, which sees players facing off against each other in real match and fantasy match situations.

With so much on offer and for free, what is stopping you from giving FIFA Mobile World Cup a shot this summer? Do it. Play your way to immortality!
