Roughly the same times as the last one, I'm guessing.

Qatar, and most of the population centers in Russia are one TZ east, just like SA was one TZ east of Germany, and the games in 2006 and 2010 started at roughly the same time.

In the summer, Russia will be eight hours ahead of the Central time zone in the US.

Qatar is a further hour ahead.

So for them an 8 pm kickoff would be noon central. You're looking at some early mornings similar to EPL times.

Meh.

South Korea - Greece was a 6.45 AM kick, followed by Argentina - Nigeria at 9.30 AM, and US - England at 2:00 PM.

Pretty much the same, I would imagine.

They'll have to play the games at 2AM, 4AM and 6AM local time in Qatar, so the temps are tolerable anyway.
