World Cup Kick Off times

12.30 and 3pm and then the 7.30pm

Why has it been done this way, which TV audience is this helping?

3pm, 5.30pm and 7.30 would have been better.

As thing stands it's one game per day for most people unless you can get of work early. If you work 9 to 5 that is.

I know what you mean but it's sad that you ask the question at all ( which tv audience? )

Not saying it does, which is why I asked what TV audience it is aimed at, can not see it being anyone in Europe.

I think the idea is to spread them out so that most people in the world have a chance of watching some of it.

Fair enough, pretty sure this is the first time they have done this as can pretty not remember a time when I'll only be able to watch 1 from 3 each day without taking the odd half day.
