    Did you really ask this question?

    France, Australia, Ghana, Cameroon, Italy, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Spain & Switzerland all have evening and night time kick off's, why did you single out the English?

    Their last group game is at 4PM.
    France had their matches shuffled around to give them two evening kick-offs as well as Spain but Germany only have one, as have Italy.

    There's not really a convincingly pattern of big-country favouritism that I can see.

    All mostly to do with TV ratings and money tbh, most people working will only see the late game live and so it makes sense to put the biggest one on at that time.

    What do mad dogs, the English and evening kick-offs have to do with each other?

    Well, instead of disingenuously asking a question you knew the answer to why didn't you just point this out in the first place and then give your opinion on it?

    I'd rather play in 23 degree heat than -2, tbh.

    Strange as many commentators mentioned that the evening kick offs were perfect as in world cups gone by it has been too hot !!

    You can't win.

    Literally.
