time shift
Oh no, 5 hours time difference between Germany and Brazil! What does this mean for the 2014 FIFA World Cup? When does Germany play? We have the answers!
On the 12th of June the time has come: The Soccer World Cup 2014 starts! This year it takes place in Brazil. But wait a minute - Brazil is pretty far away. How is that there with the time difference?
Do we have to expect public viewing in the dark this year? Are we firing our boys under the stars?
We can reassure you, it will not be that bad. In the planning of the World Cup consideration was taken to the football-crazy Europeans: Most games take place in Brazil in the afternoon! Later than 22 o'clock, no match will kick off our national team.
When exactly Germany plays, we tell you here:

Germany plays in Group G. The seasons are as follows:
Mon 16.06.2014 13:00 (Germany 18:00) Germany - Portugal
Mon 16.06.2014 19:00 (Germany 00:00) Ghana - USA

Thu 26.06.2014 13:00 (Germany 18:00) Portugal - Ghana
Should Germany emerge as the first or second out of Group G and play in the round of 16, Germany will play as follows:
AF6: Mo 30.06.2014 17:00 (Germany 22:00) Winner G - second place
or AF8: Tue 01.07.2014 17:00 (Germany 22:00) Winner H - second place
Germany wins in the round of 16, next time our national team plays in the quarter-finals :
VF1: Fri 04.07.2014 13:00 (Germany 18:00) Winner AF5 - Winner AF6
or VF3: Sat 05.07.2014 13:00 (Germany 18:00) Winner AF7 - Winner AF8
If Germany also wins in the quarter-finals, the semi-finals will take place as follows:
HF1: Tue 08.07.2014 17:00 (Germany 22:00) Winner VF1 - winner VF2
or HF2: Wed 09.07.2014 17:00 (Germany 22:00) Winner VF3 - winner VF4
If Germany lose the semi-finals (which we do not hope), then our boys play for third place :
Sat 12.07.2014 17:00 (Germany 22:00) Loser HF1 - Loser HF2
And should Germany win the semi-finals and reach the final, so we already know what we will do on July 13:
Sun 13.07.2014 16:00 (Germany 21:00) Winner HF1 - winner HF2
