like this is an actual thing that happens every world cup, like not even just a school thing everyone gets the brazilian games as a holiday, because people will call in sick or just not go to their work to see the yellow boys play the ball game

      At my girlfriend's job they all agreed to schedule a totally legit "meeting" when today's match was played. At my job the bosses made it a common team building/social event and set up a big screen and bought snacks.

      What country if you don't mind me asking?

      South Africa got knocked out of qualifying by a nonsense Ghana penalty, it could have been us there 😭

        Chile, we werent close to qualifiying and to be honest we would have been terrible there considering that we tied to Qatar a few weeks ago and they easily lost their first match

          Oof. At least you won the Copa America with the golden generation.

          To be fair, South Africa would have had to beat Nigeria to get into the world cup, even if we beat Ghana, and that would have been unlikely. South African football is not doing too well at the moment
