Tuesday's kick-off: If you are watching back home in the UK, make sure you are settled in front of a screen by 9pm for the start of the action.
The massive Group L showdown between England and Ghana gets underway at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough at exactly 4pm local Time.
Standard match length: A standard game of football takes roughly an hour and forty-five minutes from the referee's first whistle to the end of regular time.
That standard window accounts for both 45-minute halves of play plus the traditional 15-minute break in the middle.
Factoring stoppage time: You always have to build in a buffer for stoppage time, which covers things like goal celebrations, substitutions, VAR checks and the hydration breaks that have become a major talking point.
