How to Watch the Round of 16 of the World Cup on the Internet in HD

The World cup is well underway, and even though most of the teams only played one or two matches at this point, the round of 16 is approaching much sooner than one would think. Hence the question of how to watch the round of 6 of the World Cup on the internet in HD.

And there’s plenty of ways to do it, but many won’t satisfy perhaps like Germany, Brazil, and Poland so far. It’s 2018, you want HD quality, and you will get that with this guide.

Some Basic Requirements

  • If you are not lucky enough to be in a relationship or married to a football lover, tell your wife or girlfriend that you are in no way able to help her with anything for that 90 minutes of a match, especially if your country is playing! It will save trouble on the day.
  • Do you want to watch the round of 16 of the World Cup on the internet in HD? Have good enough internet connection. You can’t watch in HD if your internet is too slow, that will be a lagging festival instead. A great way to check if you can watch in HD is by going on to YouTube and playing a random video followed by selecting the quality to Full-HD right away. If there’s a need for a lot of buffering, you might have a problem, in that case, go to a pub or to a friend.
  • A computer that you can connect to the TV. Unless you are at work, watching a match on a smartphone is just a big NO! Don’t do it. You kill emotions that you could get otherwise. You want to watch the round of 16 of the World Cup on the internet in HD, but HD isn’t the only concern. Size and audio are. Connect your Computer to a TV while also connecting an audio system to your TV if you have one, and that’s how you increase emotions! Oh, and instead of connecting to a computer, you could also connect to a Fire TV Stick.

How to Watch the Round of 16 of the World Cup on the Internet in HD

You probably know that streams exist on the internet. You most likely also know that most of these do not deliver on quality, have plenty of ads that you need to click out of, and love to break down due to poor servers compared to the number of people trying to watch, oh, and lastly, tend to get blocked a lot due to the fact that streaming of copyrighted content is illegal unless one has the right to it.

We are going to show both a legal method that allows you to watch the round of 16 of the World Cup on the Internet in HD.

See, most of the broadcasters showing the World Cup have an online site that you can watch their content on. That way it’s legal and in much better quality as the company has the right amount of servers to support streaming, and there’s also not as many people there as a lot simply aren’t aware.

But there’s a problem. Your location matters. Most of these services limit what location you can watch from meaning that if you are from the wrong country, you are not able to access that content.

More on that in just a moment.

How to Watch the Round of 16 of the World Cup on the Internet in HD with these broadcasters if not in Ireland or the UK

A VPN is the solution.

You need to make these broadcasters think that you are accessing from either Ireland or the UK depending on which you choose to watch.

PrivateVPN offers both servers in Ireland and the UK.

All you need to do is make an account by clicking the Buy button on the top-right of the screen followed by going through our 30-second registration. You then download our client by scrolling through to our download page at the bottom of the site, and lastly, you connect with your details.

We do cost but that’s how you watch the round of 16 of the world cup on the internet in HD with these broadcasters via a VPN as otherwise, you will not get a stable connection. Unlike most other VPN services, we buy our internet capacity directly from IP transit providers rather than just hosting sites.

When it comes to ITV and BBC, London 3 & 1 along with our UK - BBC server works with these platforms. As far as RTE is concerned, our Dublin server works.
