shite is ridiculous
No more ridiculous than the NFL having their Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night games all kicking off around 8:15 ET and taking 3.5 hours to finish. Even longer if the game goes to overtime.
World Cup group stage games don't have extra time. So you can be certain that the game will only take about 2 hours to finish. Which puts it ending at a comparable time to NFL night games where everyone has work the next morning.

I’m just going to watch the extended highlights on YouTube in the morning.

The Braves are playing tonight on ESPN at 9pm CT and nobody has bitched once in the Barves thread.

Incredibly standard west coast evening start time.
What’s the problem?

The game was at 3:00 ET yesterday. They aren't pandering to prime time bullshite. 10PM ET isn't Primetime btw, fwiw. You know this, but you probably just want to argue, so I will not do this board the disservice of responding to your next post. It's a fricking stupid arse start time, and 3:00 yesterday was also a stupid arse start time.
There’s 48 teams playing 100+ games across a dozen or so cities in 30 days.
I’m sorry that FIFA did not tailor the broadcast schedule to you.

This, other than continuing to build momentum. We have several players on a yellow. Who knows if they play or not.
I’m assuming we will play mostly backups.
Limited subs

No chances of injury, 2nd yellow or red cards for the starters.

I say this as someone truly not in the know, buy why the bias towards the west coast for the US team? First game was in LA. Second game in Seattle. Third game back in LA. Then in SF, followed potentially by two more west coast games. I'm sure fans in other parts of the country would love to see a US "home" game too. I get not playing one game in LA...then Miami...then KC. But the flight time from LA to Seattle is not all that much shorter (~30 minutes give or take) than LA to Dallas, Houston, KC.

I wonder the same thing. I have not looked into it but maybe each group was assigned a region of the continent?

We’ve been wondering the same thing.
The first five (potential) games all being on the West Coast is a head scratcher.

England played their opening game in Dallas. They are playing today in Boston. Spain played their first two games in Atlanta. They will play their final game in Guadalajara.
It looks like they are trying to limit the teams' travel to only +/- 1 time zone. I guess with no sites in the Mountain time zone those teams that start on the west coast have to stay on the west coast...even if the distance between two cities in the pacific time zone (i.e. LA to Seattle) isn't all that much less than LA to Dallas.
It seems like Denver being a host site would have fixed that issue. At first I thought Denver may have been excluded because of the elevation. But then you see there are games in Mexico City...which is 2000 feet higher than Denver
Posted on 6/23/26 at 10:31 am to Alt26
They probably do prefer games not to be in higher elevations but if Mexico is a cohost there is no getting around Mexico City. Whereas in the US there are many many more options.
That's just a guess though.

I think you’re right.
And I think a two hour time zone difference really isn’t a big deal.

Yeah, i mean these games are a week a part and most of the players are in theirs 20s. Worrying about time zones is dumb.

As someone who lives on the west coast, I have a hunch: the weather

Of course the west coast weather is nice in the summer. But the games in Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta are all in indoor stadiums. Plus, it's not like it was "cool" in Seattle on Friday. For comparison, these were H/L temps on Friday
Seattle: 82/56
Kansas City: 84/61
Competition should be the first matter of concern. But ancillary to that, if you are trying to grow popularity for the game in the US and the US is hosting the biggest event in the sport, it seems a bit counterintuitive to limit the home team to essentially one region when there are 11 host cities spread out across the country.

Soccer games are usually 2 hours starting almost exactly at the listed time.
This isn't college football where games take 4+ hours.

Yeah but Friday isn’t a real work day.
