The 2018 FIFA World Cup is in full swing. Every game can be watched live across the world, pubs and bars are filled with fans chanting at screens and in the UK there's even a fear we could run out of beer, such is the excitement surrounding the beautiful game's biggest tournament.
But there are breaks between matches. Sometimes only an hour or two, at other times we're left waiting longer, sometimes over 24 hours for our next football fill, and that just simply won't do.
Luckily, TechRadar is here to feed your football fever, with it's inaugural World Cup of Football Apps. You not only get the excitement of following another knockout-style competition, but it can also give you some great recommendations for footy-focused apps to download to keep your mind on the World Cup between matches.
We've qualified eight of our favorite football apps for the tournament, and we're pitting them head-to-head to find out who will take home the highly-coveted TechRadar World Cup of Football Apps digital trophy.
The referee is checking their watch... and they've blown the whistle. We're off!
Knockout match 1: play the beautiful game

Knockout match 2: manage the beautiful game
Every football fan fancies themselves as a manager, and many believe they'd do a better job than the current incumbent on the touchline when their team does badly. Time to prove it.
