These late games in Germany don't kick off until 9pm local time, so that's a lot of the day to spend counting down the hours until it is time to head to the stadium.
In Hamburg, many of the fans that arrive here head to the harbour front to while away the afternoon, but others gather in the fan zone close to St Pauli's stadium.
Today there have been lots of Turkey and Czech Republic fans around, posing photos in front of giant footballs or playing the variety of games including 'beat the RoboKeeper' which actually did an excellent job of saving a large number of shots I saw.
You can also sample cuisines from the various countries competing here, and it was interesting to see what was proving popular.
Croatian food was by far the popular choice here. Although, at the other end of the below row of food stalls, fish and chips was doing a roaring trade.
