Show HN: An Android app to watch video highlights of World Cup games

If you are in Switzerland download the FIFA SRF App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fwc2014.sr...). It lets you watch all the games live the replays and around 10 different camera angles.

The app may be available to other countries under another name as well. I believe the app was created for FIFA and provided as a branded product to the different television networks that paid for access.

Thanks! But I can not install this in my country. By the way, I don't know what they put in 28mb.

ESPN Sport Center?

I use http://football-highlight.com/en/. As far as I know ESPN causes issues in different countries. Now, I'm working on covering more leagues. I'd like to keep the app as "football fan", not world cup specific.

yeah - the official FIFA app is 32mb! and the local one in my country is 24mb and it loads all the data from the web everytime you open a screen. I just uninstalled it and used a laptop. Nice transitions though. ;)

exactly! I like FIFA's app but it's so complicated. Too many views are making me feel lost in the app. Plus there is no video highlight as far as I understand.
