It's all about timezones Just for balance the France game Monday night actually finished early Tuesday morning in Bucharest Thanks Phantom. To be honest,even I should have worked that out!

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The bit that surprised me I guess, was from a commercial POV here plus Europe wide, England v Germany will pull far more viewers than Sweden v Ukraine. Commercially, bit surprised that this wasn't the 8pm kickoff but if decided pre tournament, schedule wise it's just how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the draw is done for the groups we can see when and where all games will be played. On the basis over 20 million watched on TV there clearly wasn't an issue with the kick off time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 GREAT NEWS. I spoke to a nice lady at EUFA just now and told her that some of us were a bit cross that we missed the game because of the 5o'clock kick off.She was very helpful and told me not too worry and that the next game would start at 8o'clock. It just goes to show that maybe sometimes the little man at the bottom can make a difference. You are all welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
