Fifa is not clustering the games to suit other time zones.


Imagine - Ireland v Armenia KO 2am.

Last year, Valcke said they would consider splitting Brazil into four regions, rather than having teams travel around the entire country.

He said then: "Brazil is a continent, not just a country, so we may divide it into four pieces to make sure that fans do not have to travel (fly) more than one or two hours from one stadium to the other."

Whut........
I know its big n all but still not a continent

Don't worry, we won't make it that far.

BUT

If we do.. LOCK IN!!!!!

Well it is a World Cup and not the Euros so we'll have to grin and bare it with the odd fixture times.

We'll get our own back on Central/North/South America,Africa and Australasia in 20 years time when Ireland hosts its first world cup!!!:D

Used to Copa America times so not too much hassle.

Dont be at yourself

I'd rather them on during the middle of the night than during the work day. Nothing worse than being stuck in an office when the World Cup is on...

Judging by our tough group we probably wont be worrying about the times of Irelands games

Got fed up on the rugby board with people wanting games to kick off at lunchtime in NZ so that western european viewers would have perfect viewing times.

Soccer board will be different, people will realise that 2am wednesday morning kickoffs are part of the charm of it ?????
