how rubbish is that, both on at the same time. I guess it make sense but not good for us football hungry supporters

I don't think it makes any sense the Portugal v Swiss game is insignificant, nothink at stake.

And i guess they knew that when they scheduled the games....

No but they could have made the change when they realised that was the case.

4 days ago?!! Excuse me 20 odd nation's major broadcasters we are changing the start time, okay. Lol. Plus all the scheduled transport etc. Its always been this way, no big deal.

What about the fans who are going to the game and have already made plans and arrangements, be a bit crazy imo to think to change the kick off time 4days before the game, in the prem fans are supposed to get a months notice at least for fixture changes although sky/fa/boards just take the piss now with quite a few newcastle games being cancelled in shorter notice causing quite a lot of problems for fans.

Its the only fair way to do it by having the last game of the group stages at the same time can't really change it at such short notice just because it's ended up not being relevant.

they did in the 1974 championships. Don't you remember the precedent set by that event?

bad decision by UEFA, they should change the tournament so that no meaningless group games take place, if necessary re-drawing groups mid way through. They do this in the Pan American championships, and it works well

£100 on Portugal/Turkey @ 9.2 1 time!!

[Karabiner]

I don't bet on footie much at all, but CzechR look pretty tempting at almost 6/4 to me, or am I missing something ?

LOL I'm 22 so no  

I really can't see how it could be possibly fair to change the kick off time with such short notice personally if it was me i'd be around the area of the game all day so it wouldn't affect me to much but it is possible that some people may have arrangements that mean they aren't arriving til 5 30 6 for an 8 kick off so changing the kick off seems a bit unfair to me just so that general football fans who aren't that bothered will be able to watch both games.

Portugal/Czechs imo but gl flushy

Please research the 1974 championships for lessons from history. A young age is no barrier to learning and self advancement.

It's not really that relevant what happened 34 years ago to be fair tighty.I was joking about the 22 thing i agree that thats no barrier and would say i'm quite confident on my knowledge of footballing matters. ,It actually really annoys me when you get middle aged/older blokes who try to suggest younger people couldn't possibly have anything to say about any subject that's correct or worth listening to due to there young age as this is clearly bs.Do you not agree then with my scenario giving that changing kick off times so late on isn't really fair ??

[Colchester Kev]

reason its funny is that TightEnd is only 21 mate

[gatso]

38 pages in and thread finally starts to deliver

[TightEnd]

I am not middle aged.

p.s I agree, changing times is not fair.

I will stop living in the Past like 1974, living in a cardboard box. living in a box.
