Where will you be watching the opening World Cup game against Italy....?

[Green Cross Code Man]

They wouldn't put it on at 6am Brazillian time, they'd just move it back a few hours so it'd be on 11pm GMT (about 7pm Brazil time).

I for one would like that. But I wouldn't bother watching the game at 2 a.m.

I feel little connection with the England team, and hated watching them in SA. In fact I usually find it an absolute chore watching them play.

But obviously I will be on my sofa, full of hope at 2.00am. The loathing will have set in by 3.00, I should imagine.

In Brazil

(Though not actually at the game itself)

If this match is not rebranded 'Rumble in the Jungle' by the press, we may as well give up now.

More like grumble in the jungle.

Great news. Stay up on a Saturday night, rather than get up early on a Sunday morning.

I'll be in the stadium - anyone else going

Well there you go, final proof, if any was needed, that tv is more important than players welfare.

Fifa heard representations from a number of parties, including broadcasters ITV, BBC and RAI before deciding to move the kick-off time.

England had no influence in changing the kick-off time but Club England managing director Adrian Bevington suggested the original kick-off time of 02:00 BST (21:00 local time) was better because of the cooler temperature.

....taking into account the 2am kick-off on Saturday night/Sunday morning?

At home

 

[Wellesley]

I will watch it at home and I can't wait. This England team may not be world beaters, but from what I can see, there is no lack of effort. If we lose, we lose. I will support them all the way and enjoy the ride, however short it may be.

Yep me to , committed to stay out as long as round of 16 after much negotiations with wife and mates .

 

[Munkfish]

What a pile of tosh. I was looking forward to a 2am K.O I would have been sobering up a little by then. By 11 I will be absoutley wasted.

3 hours earlier when it will be even hotter and more humid? I wonder how long Rooney and Lampard will last.

Tbh, that will probably work in your favour. It's got nil-nil written all over it in 200pt type.
