The World Cup is set to kick off in Russia tonight, and although Singapore is some 8,000km away from the action, fans, businesses and community clubs here are hoping to take advantage of Singapore-friendly kick-off times to catch the action.
This year, 38 of the 64 matches will be shown before midnight, the most since the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.
