Hope all you soccer fans are prepared to wake up early/stay up late again. There's an 8-hour difference between the east coast and both countries, comparable to 7 for South Africa. It's actually going to be quite a long period without true middle-of-the-night games here in the Americas. 2002 was the last time it happened, and the only possibility of it happening before 2030 is if Australia or New Zealand get 2026 (the same continent can't host the finals twice in a row.) Qatar has 600,000 people and has yet to actually qualify for a World Cup (but will get an automatic spot as tournament host.) -- David J. Lynch [email protected] -- TV or Not TV ....
