Bren24 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Why as of today do we have 2 matches at 8pm? And tomorrow too. Tuesday & Wednesday 2 matches at 5pm, 2 at 8pm. What's happened to the 2pm kick offs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 To give the hosts an extra day's rest? It's slightly weird scheduling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coulthard's Jaw Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 It's a bit odd. Should have played England Wales on the Wednesday and then had the conclusion to that group today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Viewing figures probably also taken into account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucampe Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 No, it's because the final games of a group have to be played simultaneously or there's an advantage for the teams playing second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon_84 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The one day I can get all 3 games in and there's no games on until tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 No, it's because the final games of a group have to be played simultaneously or there's an advantage for the teams playing second. They could still play two at 2 o clock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm glad the 2pm weekday kick offs have finished, I missed most of them due to being at work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshift Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I think it's fair that Group F get 4 days between games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 It'd also be unfair for the teams in the same group who've played on different dates. Russia-Slovakia had more rest than England-Wales. Same goes for Italy-Sweden, a day more than Belgium-Ireland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigy18181 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 They could still play two at 2 o clock that time slot is always the first to go, it is the same for the world cup. It is always the later viewing slots that remain at this point and it will eventually drop to just 8pm matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Slightly unrelated, but is anyone else unable to open the match thread that Rebel MC opened about an hour ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebs Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yeah - I can't seem to open it either. It only had a couple of sentences - then I just copied over the group A table from BBC, not sure if something there is stopping it opening. Can a mod look into it or someone else start a match thread etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grff Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Don't two of the Round 16 games kick-off at 2pm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 why are tomorrows on at 5? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Because there's 4 groups left still and if we had just 1 group per day this round would take a whole week. I do think it's strange why wasn't group A and B played in the same day. Possibly so that the break between the groups and the first knockouts wouldn't take too long?

TM Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Don't two of the Round 16 games kick-off at 2pm? yup, Saturday and Sunday have 6 games that are 2/5/8pm kickoffs. The last two of R16 on Monday revert to 5pm and 8pm which is when we lose the 2pm and 5pm KOs from the tournament completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
