The Socceroos Unusual Kick-Off Time For The First Leg Of World Cup Playoff

The Socceroos already tricky World Cup Playoff has been made a lot more difficult with the Honduran FA announcing the first leg of the playoff will kick-off at 4pm local time on Friday November 10.

This is so, potentially, both teams will be able to make commercial fights that will land in Australia only 48 hours before the second-leg at Sydney's ANZ Stadium. 

However, the FFA will be looking to charter flights from Honduras back home, with Socceroos hoping this will give them the advantage in the second-leg. 

With the game already set to be played in hostile territory, the weather is also another factor both sides will have to deal with as temperatures are set to reach the 30's during the game, coupled with the extreme Honduran humidity. 

If the Socceroos can defeat Honduras over the two-leg affair, they will qualify for the fourth consecutive World Cup.
