Viewing from Turkiye

For Turkish fans in Istanbul (TRT, UTC+3), all three West Coast kickoffs arrive in the early hours of the morning. The Australia and Paraguay matches both land at 07:00, and the USA finale at 05:00. Turkish football culture is among the most passionate in the world, and the large Turkish diaspora across Europe and North America will make its presence felt at venues throughout Group D. The traveling support in Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles will carry the intensity that Istanbul is famous for, even if fans back home are watching from bed.
