Uefa clearly didn’t get the memo about today being a day for relaxation and enjoyment, because they’ve only gone and taken the early kick-offs away from us.
For the final round of group stages of Euro 2016, each group’s games will kick-off at the same time to prevent any kind of collusion between teams. So Sunday sees the final Group A games on Sunday begin at 8pm.
Not everybody realised this, which means that plenty of football fans have settled into their sofas this afternoon only to be very disappointed by the lack of footie on television.
All the games will now kick-off at 8pm or 5pm until the last 16 begins. This means that we have to rush home from work to catch the 5pm kick offs on Tuesday and Wednesday this week rather than placing one set of those games the Sunday.
I'm lost without a 2pm game in the Euros. Sad times.

France and Switzerland face off at 8pm to see who will top Group A, while Albania and Romania meet at the same time as both go in search of their first win of the tournament.
