[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 446407, member: 33219"] It's so simple. Start world cup on Friday 2nd September. From then on for the next 4 weekends, 8 games (2 for each group). For TV reasons, so that every game gets aired kickoff times as follows (local time): Fri: 19:30 Sat: 12:30, 14:30, 16:30, 18:30 Sun: 12:30, 14:30, 16:30 Then there's the Quarters, which take place the next weekend. Semis the weekend after. Next Friday night - 3rd place playoff. Saturday, final. = 7 weeks of world cup, finished by the 22nd October (or 23rd because this years' final is on a Sunday). This leaves a week between games. Most teams will get 2 weeks off at one point in the group stages, but the 6N and 3N regularly go on halts for 2 week periods, it's not a problem. [/QUOTE]
