Why are multiple World Cup games starting at the same time?

Things have gotten hectic.

The World Cup has hit the end of the group stage, which means things are getting hectic. Multiple games are happening at the same time for the first time of Russia 2018 — and it’s become a little confusing for viewers.

Up to this point we’ve been on a pretty steady three-a-day schedule, but that all changes now.

Why are games happening simultaneously all of a sudden?

The last round of group games are always scheduled to happen at the same time. It was a decision by FIFA to try and eliminate teams knowing exactly what they needed to move forward. This thwarted attempts for teams to manipulate the results by pressuring draws, or doctoring their goal differential to finish higher, lower, or eliminate other teams by their performance.

This has made it ... challenging.

Monday is the first day we’re seeing multiple games at the same time, and soccer fans have a brutal decision to make already. Both Portugal and Spain are playing in critical games which could determine their fate moving forward — which has led to people coming up with ways to make it work.

British wedding guests forced to get real, real creative to watch World Cup

Historically, weddings and world soccer championships haven't exactly blended together.

The wedding guests of Britain are doing what they can. All around the country, attendees are patiently checking their phones and scrambling for scores as the country proceeds to the World Cup semifinals.

Only the Church of England had the strength to warn guests not to check their phones during Saturday's wedding ceremonies. There's a zero percent chance anyone will follow this particular bit of advice, but it's a great thought.

World Cup opening game proved a little tricky for people with colour blindness

Did you have a little trouble distinguishing between teams at the World Cup opener? You weren't alone.

During the opening game between Saudi Arabia and host country Russia on Thursday, people watching who have colour blindness complained on Twitter they had trouble identifying which team they were cheering for.

Why? The teams wore red (Russia) and green (Saudi Arabia), two of the colours people with a type of colour vision deficiency (CVD) are unable to distinguish between.

More than a few people were upset.

Colour blind red/green. First game of the world cup and they're playing in red and green kits. Haven't got a clue what's going on here 🙈

As excited by the World Cup as I am, this opening fixture Red/Green set up is a nightmare for the #colourblind 🙄

— Robbie Cowbury (@RCowbury) June 14, 2018

@GaryLineker 8% of men are colour blind including me. Most common colour blindness is green and red. I think I will listen to this match on the radio. When is the 2nd game of the world cup? #wearethe8percent

— Simon Jeremy (@AlfPrufrock) June 14, 2018

Some picked out any possible way to distinguish between the two teams, however small.

At least Russia is wearing white shorts. Should help some right?

It's not exactly a niche problem, with CVD affecting approximately one in 12 men (8 percent) and one in 200 women in the world. It's more common in men as it’s carried on the X-chromosome. 

Improving the experience of people watching football with CVD isn't a new idea — even coaches and players within the industry deal with it, including Norwegian coach Lars Lagerbäck.

The English Football Association and UEFA teamed up with the UK's Colour Blind Awareness organisation last year to produce a guide booklet as part of a campaign to maximise awareness. Suggestions include avoiding kit clashes, and rethinking use of full red and green uniforms on a green pitch (like the World Cup opener).

"Colour blindness is an important issue in sport — for players, spectators, and investors — from the grass roots through to the highest professional level," reads a statement on the Colour Blind Awareness website. 

"It can impact on a person’s performance, spoil the enjoyment of watching sport (live or on TV) and have an adverse effect on revenues if colour blind people turn their back on sport in frustration."

Could be something to consider for the rest of the World Cup?
