One thing that is unique about the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada/Mexico/United States for my country Indonesia because the time to watch the match is different. Usually we watch football matches in European leagues in the afternoon and evening, but football in the Americas is broadcast in the morning. All League in American continent play in the morning in my country time and I can't predicting what happen later if FIFA World Cup 2026 will play in the early morning and we are still sleeping Grin

.

What about your country when watching FIFA World Cup 2026 will watch in the evening, night or in the morning time like in my country.

During group stage, usually there will be three matches occurring per day. During Qatar 2022, most of the matches were held during the evening, because of weather conditions. However in the next edition, FIFA may spread out the matches, and at least some of the matches may be held during morning. And this will enable fans in Asia-Pacific to watch them live once they are back from their study/work. BTW, US-Canada comprise of several time zones and there is a 3 hour difference between Eastern time and Pacific time within the US (fortunately they haven't scheduled any matches in Alaska and Hawaii).

You're right, the idea is that people worldwide can watch it live and direct, honestly when the World Cup in Korea and Japan was held , I didn't mind getting up early to watch those games, however I'm one of those who doesn't like to get up early and still I did , this kind of thing is done to love fútbol, I am sure that in Asia there must be many who get up early or stop doing some things to be able to watch football matches, Sometimes things have to be done like this , like this be quite Sleepy all day.

The time zone difference always have its role in the viewership of a match. The previous season of FIFA used to end late night, but for most people that used to be the right time. They do all their routine and end up watching good football match. Similar scenario doesn't happen all around, the difference in time makes it bad for some to watch the matches. I don't watch much of football, but the previous FIFA made me continue watching more. All because of the unexpected results on few matches and the excitement that the country people had after the win.

I cannot deny, I also had that in my mind, the unexpected results, and despite the fact that I have played soccer all my life and I have also seen World Cups, these things had become very strange in Qatar, so at the end of everything we have to accept that That's football, I can't deny that the result that impacted me the most was when Arabia beat Argentina, because can you imagine that it would have been a final between Arabia and Argentina and that Arabia would win? That would be a high-calibre world hit, only Arabia did not know how to maintain that level, and it could have been emotions or many factors that affected it.

Wealthy people from third world countries will probably find ways to solve the problem, but of course the bulk of the tourists will be people with a high level of wealth - from wealthy countries such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc.
By the way, probably scammers who "guarantee" obtaining visas and the absence of problems in obtaining them, get rich at this World Cup, since people will always look for workarounds Grin

You are very right, most especially in third world countries where the average citizens are seeking for cheaper and easier means of leaving their country, no doubt, many will fall prey to this scammers who either dissappear immediately after they collect money supposedly meant for visa, or will disappear after issuing a fake visa to their client, I thought such things as this only happen in my country, kind of surprised to realize that this bad eggs also operate in other countries as well.

Fraudsters act the same everywhere, and by the way, not all scammers disappear with money if problems with a visa could not be resolved - they return the money with an apology. The essence of the fraud is that they do nothing to guarantee a visa - for them it is a win-win lottery: if the client receives a visa, then they keep the money for themselves (attributing it to their efforts) if not, they just returns the money Grin

Well, this thing about the scammers because of the issue of visas is something very delicate, but I don't understand how they trust these people , it's something that doesn't add up to me, however, as there is all the mess and the fuss over the World Cup, it is very logical that the people go crazy (so to speak) and it could be said that things will not be good , at least with the immigration that has been seen to go through Colombia, through the Darien jungle and travel throughout Central America until they arrive in the USA and being illegal, because things are tougher , with a temporary visa it will be the perfect excuse to enter the country , with the Immigration policies of the USA I see it easier to enter, if Trump is here I do not see it as Feasible for them to Cheat.

Even though religion and culture must be respected, prohibiting something because "it is not common for your country" seems weird to me. For example next tournament will be held in Germany. Germany is famous for their sausages and beer. Then what, all the Muslim countries should skip this tournament because of that? Or they should be forced to taste it? This cup will be held in US, and their famous food for breakfast is fried bacon aka pork - haram for Muslims. Football fans went to Qatar to enjoy football and they should be allowed to enjoy it the way they want (but what not against law).

I just dont get why I must follow other religion rules, if this is not my religion. If alcohol is prohibited, then what, I cant touch food and eat with left hand, because it is prohibited in their religion? Or there are religion things that must be followed, and some that could be avoided? Double standards again?

This is what I tell all my Islamic friends when they talk about "freedom" vs "culture". If you want people to wear a certain way when they come to your nation, then how would you feel when they asked you the same when you go there. Let's take the hijab for example, women there mostly wear it right?

So, if you were to ask women to wear it when they come to your nation, what would you feel if they ask you to remove it when you go to west? What if they told you that you can't wear it, no hijab, no burka, nothing, you have to wear a dress, that's a must and their rule and they tell you "respect our culture" as a response. Wouldn't you feel terrible about it? Wouldn't that be against the freedom? So, if you want to be able to wear whatever you want when you go to west, then let the west wear whatever they want when they come to you.

Those which are fundamentalist on their thinking will never get it, for them their way of life is the correct one while everyone else which does not follow it are mistaken, so for them is completely natural for everyone else to adjust to their culture, but if they were asked to do the same then that would be wrong, now this is a problem with all religious fundamentalists, it is just that it became very notorious during the previous world cup held at Qatar.

I have always learned something, when we are in a house that is not ours, in a country that is not ours, we must adapt to its rules and all its customs, including its religion and everything that has to do with each country, in In this case, there was a lot of talk about Qatar, which for many are very exaggerated, but as far as I am concerned, they have their rules, norms, who are we to tell them that what they are doing is wrong? We cannot let a neighbor come to our house and tell us what to do inside our house, that's how it happens in the World Cups, there are countries that have more freedoms, and some things are legal, others are not , that's the meaning of a good World Cup .
