Are you telling me that the @nytimes got me STOKED for this Faroe Islands vs Croatia/David vs. Goliath match up and I CAN'T WATCH IT ON TV?! https://t.co/MZb8TuYJl6

Very frustrating when companies make it impossible to get ahold of anyone - looking at you @Alamo. If you’re going to restrict people from calling a local office, you need more comprehensive customer service hours at your National call center.

Oof. Absolutely gutted for Italy.
