I have just been looking through some of the kick-off times for next year's FIFA World Cup.

Would it be crazy of me to state that I'm looking forward to watching some of those late (or early, depending on your stance) games?

2AM, 3AM.. I'm in!

Easy for me to write that six months out. I might change my mind by then.

My favourite World Cup - for unique time differences - was 2002. The tournament, then co-hosted by Japan and South Korea, had games kick off early in the day. It was fun going to pubs with friends and colleagues before heading off to work.

I didn't drink a touch of alcohol for those pre-work games, though! Appletiser was my go-to during that World Cup. I'm always reminded of those days each time I have that drink.
