Group E Match Schedule

Viewing from Curacao

The group schedule is almost accidental in its kindness to Caribbean Standard Time. The Houston opener at 13:00 local means the entire island can gather outdoors, in bars, or at home without any sleep sacrifice at all. The Kansas City match arrives at 20:00, a comfortable evening. The Philadelphia finale at 16:00 Willemstad time is a Sunday afternoon kickoff for a World Cup group-stage decider. The Curaçao diaspora in the Netherlands gives the island a substantial European fanbase: North American East Coast afternoon kickoffs land at 22:00 in Amsterdam, manageable late evenings. For an island of 150,000 people, this is a moment that changes everything.
