🤩 Sleep optional: brutal kick-off time can't stop these fans
· Yahoo Sports
In Australia, it’s currently the afternoon; things look very different here in Germany, where most people are probably not even awake yet this Sunday, and in many places the beer for this evening likely isn’t even chilling yet.

In Turkey, people haven’t exactly been blessed with the classic kickoff time today either, because the Turkish team is already battling for the first three group-stage points of this World Cup — against Australia, no less.
These videos on ‘X’ prove it: the very early kickoff time — and in Turkey too, it’s really still the middle of the night on a Sunday — can’t put off real football fans. Instead of still lying comfortably in bed, countless supporters made their way to public viewing events to follow the action live from Vancouver on Canada’s Pacific coast on the big screen.
We’re taking bets: how many of these fans were exemplary enough to go to bed nice and early last night, and how many simply stayed up all night and used the earlier matches to get in the mood for kickoff?
Kickoff time in Canada was 9:00 p.m., so the Turkey fans on site had it a bit more traditional — assuming they weren’t still dealing with jet lag. Judging by the pictures from the fan march, though, that was clearly not the case.
Public viewing first thing in the morning — is that your kind of thing too? Or at that hour, do you prefer the somewhat smaller screen in front of your cozy couch at home? Write it in the comments!
