We would be here until next year if you want 8 days for the second round. The problem is 24 teams, be a bit easier with 16 teams and straight to the QFs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8pm kick off (here) last night was still being played past midnight local time. If they’re having two games at different times then that’s why one needs to be a 5pm game I suppose.

Slacker Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 In hindsightI was happy to admit this was a naive question and was grateful for the responses that helped me to understand the decision for the early kick off time.
