Viewing from New Zealand

The Los Angeles and first Vancouver match both land at 11:00 the following morning in Auckland, a reasonable brunch kickoff. The Belgium finale arrives at 15:00 on a Saturday afternoon in New Zealand. All three matches are genuinely accessible for New Zealand fans. New Zealand fans are used to watching European leagues and Champions League football at peculiar local hours, so the reverse situation creates an interesting inversion. Group G with Belgium, Egypt, and Iran gives the All Whites a realistic path to consider.
