Tv Schedule

[Rovermatt]

Can anyone explain the reasons for half of the last round of group matches being shown at the ridiculous time of 3 o'clock? It was understandable that there would be a early afternoon kick-off during the three matches per day run (otherwise, they'd be playing for two months). However now that we have moved on to two broadcasts per day, why drop the 5pm start and continue to play in the middle of the day when audiences are at work and the heat on the pitch is still suffocating? The host nation for instance will be seen by only a fraction of those viewing their previous two encounters. Talk about a farce.

I would rather the 9 (8) PM matches be earlier! You know how much of a pain it is getting a train from Kaiserslatuern to Leipzig, or a hotel anywhere within a 2 hour train ride?

4 years ago I had to get up at 3 am for some matches.

Then again, as a new parent shouldn't you be used to this lack of sleep.

(For all that don't know, Neekoy is now a proud pop, congrats!!)
