Kickoff times 1 by Bulletbobb I was looking through Frawley's book last night, and I was struck by the fact that he almost always uses starting times such as 8:00 pm or 8:30. Here in the US games never start at the scheduled starting time, and the differences can be quite large. The NFL is the closest, their afternoon games starting at 2-3 minutes after the scheduled time. I wonder what the practice is in Europe for soccer games? I can't believe they start right on the hour, as your TV people need a few minutes for introductory comments just as our do. So two questions: when do your soccer games really start, and does anyone know of a site where the actual starting times are listed? Here in the US the times for the NFL, NBA and NHL are available, generally going back for years. This is a tremendous resource for research, since it is pointless to try and divine the rules our charts follow when they may in error by as much as 11 minutes (NBA).
