15. The time difference is an issue

I have watched a few matches, but not as much as I normally would. The time difference is the biggest issue for me.

I'm not staying up for a 1am kickoff Monday morning to watch England v Mexico when I have to set off for work at 7am.

Although that did mean that the traffic on Monday morning was noticeably lighter than usual!
