I usually get the notifications that the match 'is about to start' when the match is actually approaching half-time (I don't rely on these) - 'the match has finished' messages can appear up to 4 hours after the match has actually finished, if I get them at all...
At least the 'the match against xxxx is on in a few minutes' messages are suitably vague, as they can arrive anything from 15 minutes before kick-off to just before the 'is about to start' message arrives.

Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...
