I have just realised that the Europa League final kicks off at 3pm EST on May 20th. I am currently scheduled to be taking off at 4:20pm EST in San Francisco and flying to Toronto. This means that, if we beat Villa, I will have three options:
- reschedule my flight in order to be in front of a TV to watch the match (this will incur cost and aggravation)
- hope that the plane wifi will support me streaming the match (unlikely because even if the wifi is good enough I suspect my Canadian streaming app will detect my phone being in the US and block it due to regional broadcast rights)
- ignore all social media and watch it on replay when I get home late on Wednesday evening (risks accidentally hearing the score, and even if I don't it never feels quite as enjoyable watching on delay)
Very annoying all round.
