Is there an option to opt out? Boring game for some. If they do this for this world cup then have the decency to do it for others, such as Rugby? Or have they and will they?

Yes and Apple have an ingenious way to opt out. You can opt out by not asking Siri anything World Cup related!!!

I just got a popup from the TV app talking about the World Cup. Really weird and random.

(Turns off TV app notifications.)
 
It is impressive that Portugal, the country that is the European Champion and just tied with the World Champion, an amazing game, does not have Siri Support, Apple News or Apple TV app. Part of the EU, neighbours of Spain.

Apple supports the Brazilian market by the way, natively (Brazilian Portuguese), not us.

I guess, we, the Portuguese, don't like this sport neither buy Apple products? Humm, smaller markets have an Apple Store, something that the Portuguese do not.

The FIFA is the only organization that has more countries subscribed than the United Nation. It is the biggest organization in the world.

Politicians may not join the U.N. but every country has a football team and they face each other on the field.

The best game ever was Argentina against England after England defeated Argentina in the Falklands war.

Imagine that! Now Argentina and the British face to face on a soccer field! LOL!!!! The revenge and it was when Maradona did that goal with his hand and they won. It was called "The hand of God!" lol. That was in Mexico 1986.


And what about the last world cup? Germany struck 7!!!! goals to Brazil in the finals in Brazil!!!!

And in 2018 ... Germany, the only country to have 5 World Cup championchips ... lots the first game 1-0 to Mexico hehehe. Amazing.

BTW I remember that goal ... great games in the 80's.
 
Well... this isn't working now. Siri has no idea there's a Crotia v England game on now. It worked all World Cup until now. I just asked my Watch or HomePod what the score was and I'd get an update.
