Who gets a comfortable window?
Vancouver gets a Sunday evening 6:00 PM PDT slot. New York is at 9:00 PM EDT, late but a Sunday night, while Sao Paulo pushes to 10:00 PM BRT. Cairo (UTC+3 in summer) catches kickoff at 10:00 PM local time, a late Sunday evening for Egyptian football fans. Auckland, New Zealand (UTC+12 in summer) lands at 1:00 PM Monday, a comfortable lunchtime watch for All Whites supporters. Sydney and Melbourne at 11:00 AM AEST are also solid. London at 2:00 AM BST and Paris at 3:00 AM CEST are deeply inconvenient for any European viewers with interest in these teams.
