As Russia is hosting the game, the time difference in Russia as compared to U. S. may be a big tension to millions of fans in U.S. That is the reason behind the decision of social media delivering the highlights not only in U.S. but all over the world. The fact that more than 25 million people viewed the 2014 World Cup Final in U.S. also makes Facebook, Twitter and Snap to seek the copyrights.
But still Fox sports or the social media Facebook, Twitter, Snap has not responded to the rumours yet. Anyway let’s wait for the confirmation.
