Game One Highlights
If you missed the first broadcast, you can still go back and see the highlights on NextVR, where you can see the winning goal, a header off a corner kick. Tell me if I’m delusional but standing next to the goalkeeper for the goal, I have to say it looked like he should have stopped it.
How to Watch
These events are free to attend via the ICC channel on NextVR, which you can access on the Samsung Gear VR. If you do have a Gear VR, here’s how to get there:
- Dock your phone in the Gear VR
- Open Oculus Home
- Download and open the NextVR app
- Watch the matches on the ICC channel
When you’re watching the game, It helps a lot to be connected to wi-fi when downloading or streaming content on Gear VR.
See you there!
