Away from the golf and back to the footy! I had worked out that the latest KO time would be 2am In LOS. So those games will finish at 03.45. So looking beyond the published fixtures for the group stage, which of course England will progress from!! As games have the potential to go to extra time and penalties, games kicking off at at 02.00 could potentially still be being played at 04.30am and I think that i will be seriously pissed off if the Boys in Brown were to march in and close down Bangla half way through extra time!
My last trip would suggest that this wont likely be a problem. But on one night on my trip, apparently some big government official was in town and the whole of Bangla was shut down by 3am.
Still the opportunity for cheaper flights, hotels and a better BG/farang ratio are increasingly becoming very tempting factors to compensate missing out on any footy! But being able to enjoy all the England games will be a massive bonus!
That said, I'd still be very interested to know if any of you have been in Patong for previous big international footy tournaments in recent years? For me, the atmosphere when watching these games in pubs/bars increases the enjoyment of these big tournaments.
