I noticed Brazil v Mexico 8pm tomorrow, yet Russia v South Korea don't play their first match till 11pm tomorrow.

I assume this wasn't the way it originally came out and I assume the Brazil game has been brought forward for some reason

Maybe worried about more riots with a later kick off

Nope, it was always scheduled that way.

They wanted the Brazil game in the 8pm European slot.
