FiNeRaInThat Friday Feeling Does this mean that the matches will be on at silly o'clock?
No...russia is only a couple of hours ahead.
Not sure where you've got that from - Moscow is +3 hours, but Vladivostok is +10!

European Russia is 3 hours ahead so at a guess 9.30am, 2pm and 5.30pm our time there - not sure how far East they are stagin games though but can by up to +11 hours.
Pretty much all during working hours then.
Qatar = be serious.
If there was any doubt that money talks louder than anything else then today should dispell that doubt forever.

How the hell can you host a football competition in June in an Arab state (smaller than Wales) where the temp often gets over 50C except for cold hard cash - are they building air conditioned arenas?
