PSA for UK folk: surviving the World Cup group stage on late kick-offs

We're ten days in and I've learned a few things the hard way, so passing them on. Lots of the games land late evening or the early hours here, and I'm too old to be doing the 2am one and then going to site at 7.

What's working for me: pick a few games a day max, record the late ones and stay off the group chat and news apps until you've watched them, and keep the big group finales for live. Mute the club WhatsApp. Seriously.

But I'm curious, is anyone actually managing the late ones live and still functioning? And does anyone know a decent way to watch replays without the thumbnail giving away the score?
