[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 449621, member: 13739"] Considering the extremely tight schedule of the WC as it is (mid week matches for some teams, resulting in 3 games in as little as 10 days for some), I don't think there's room in the schedule to drop Sunday matches unfortunately. This is professional sport we're talking about, and the powers that be won't sacrifice money in favour of slightly over the top religious beliefs, after all 99% of Christians in the UK and many other nations would have little or no problem playing a game of rugby on a Sunday, in the same way many people are required to work in shops etc. on Sundays.
