FOOTBALL fans were left shocked after finding out some World Cup matches will kick off at a very late (or arguably very early) time. But incredibly, that’s not the latest kick-off time at the World Cup. Those matches will involve Australia vs TBC on June 13, Austria vs Jordan on June 16, TBC vs Paraguay on June 19 and Tunisia vs Japan on June 20. Scotland – making their first appearance at a World Cup since 1998 – are set for some late ones. Fans couldn’t believe it when finding out those World Cup kick-off times as they went into absolute meltdown on social media.
