South American countries are expected to fare best, as their matches will be played between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM local time. The situation is more complex for the hosts (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico) because they span multiple time zones, as well as for Brazil, whose fans will still watch matches in the evening hours (between 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM). On the other end of the spectrum are the Maghreb and Middle Eastern countries, with Algeria seeming to fare worst, as its three matches are scheduled at 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 3:00 AM. Tunisia fares slightly better (3:00 AM, 5:00 AM, and midnight), while tough schedules also await fans of Jordan and Turkey (7:00 AM, 6:00 AM, and 5:00 AM), as well as Egypt, which plays at 10:00 PM, 4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM. Fans of Germany (one match at 7:00 PM, two at 10:00 PM) and England (two at 9:00 PM, one at 10:00 PM) also won’t have to stay up late, with Portugal and Spain in a similar position. The Croatian national team will play at 10:00 PM, then at 1:00 AM, while its third group match will be at 11:00 PM Croatian time. Some matches will be played at times extremely inconvenient for fans of both teams, such as in Group F, where Sweden (4:00 AM) and Tunisia (3:00 AM) will meet in Monterrey, Mexico.
