The World Cup kicks off on 12 June, but technically it will be 13 June in India by then. Brazil being eight hours behind India, most of the matches will be played late at night. There are three major slots for the games: 2130, 0030 and 0330 IST, which means you’ve got to be ready for some late night football — keep that nachos and dips stacked up and if you’re one for coffee, then brewing a cup at around 7 PM should really help you stay awake!
