I live in the West Coast of North America and because the World Cup takes place in Eastern Asia all the live games we're going to get to watch here will be at around 1:00AM at night.

This sucks! Sure there are the taped reruns during the day but that's not live stuff so it is not that great.

The North American west coast will get to watch the final at 3:00AM :D :D :D

It is pretty funny isn't it?

Many people will find the game watching hours very weird since the World Cup is in Asia for the first time.

Well what did you expect, all times the Wc has been played on the European or American continent, people from other contintents, like Asia, had to get up early if they wanted to watch the games live.....:mambo: :rolleyes: :mambo:

Yes. Good point. The only thing that sucks here in Canada is that we don't get to watch the reruns of all the matches during the day.

So if there are four matches at night only one or two will get rerun during the day.

But it is OK knowing that there are only about five people in all of Canada who like European Football.

(but I am not Canadian am I :D :D :D)

here most of the matches are played in the morning and on midday...but because of that there are other concerns...People working won't be able to watch the games lives (unless they have a cool company that puts televisions in the offices ), + here in June all the Students are studying for or even passing their exams when the games are played, so a lot of people won't be able to watch any game live (appart of those played on weekends)... But fortunately there are reruns, reviews, analyzes and summaries during all day long on at least 20 different channels (i'm sure you could watch football 24/7 during all the competition), but watching these reruns, and analyzes is still nothing at all compared to a thrilling WC live game !!!

THanks to them :crazyboy: And I think it will be holiday in the days which Turkey will play because most of of the games are between 8 am and 10 am here. But who cares... IT is a 4 month holiday for me after tomorrow .. :D :D :crazyboy:
