There's no real need for four pundits on for every game. They take two ad breaks at half time so each one probably only speaks for about 20 seconds

I can see a lot of goals in today’s matches but I’ll only see the evening match.

Work is only showing the matches in the canteen but I only started in the company a few months ago so can’t take the piss.

I’ve only seen a few matches so far. I’ll prob end up seeing about 25% of them. Thumbs Down

Timezones aren't great for me where I am now. So far the games have been 8pm, 11pm and 2am. 
Haven't seen any of the 2am ones.

Yeah it's a bit of a pain in the hole.  I can watch the 1st half of the 1pm games on the work laptop at lunchtime, usually might get half an hour of the 4pm game in work so the 7pm game is the only one I'll see in full bar the weekend.
 
What's the Qatar timezone for the next wan?

I've watched most of every game apart from Australia v France, Serbia v Costa Rica, and last night's Russia game.
 
Can watch on the BBC/ITV websites in work

Why is Sepp Blatter at the World Cup?  Apparently he is a guest of Putin surprise surprise.  I thought he was banned from any football related activity.  He's also giving interviews left, right and centre talking about awarding of the next world cupConfused

You just answered your own question. FIFA can't bar him from attending in a private capacity

Is he there in a private capacity though??  He is a guest of Putin who he awarded the world cup to in shady circumstances and will be sat up in the stand next to Infantino and the other cronies. And he shouldnt be giving interviews on FIFA business.

Putin inviting him is a private capacity AFAIK

Was clarified by FIFA last year

Yeah not a gread day. The 7pm kick-offs are slightly annoying. It's not even 9pm and all the matches are over, I do be thinking "I could fit another match in before bed time". does be a bit of a downer. 8pmwould have been more ideal!

Just as well you're not in Iceland so, where all the games are over by 8pm. Or America, where they're all done by 4 in the afternoon. 

I don't like the 7pms either, but it was the same as last year's Confed Cup. There can't be any more per day as most cities at the tournament are 2 hours ahead of us.
