England vs. Iran next Monday and it’s a 1pm kick-off UK time. I’m allowed to WFH within reason so trying to think of a believable excuse to stay at home and have it on.

Anybody else have similar concerns?

  1. Nobody is going to believe any excuse you make. Just say you’d rather WFH so you can have the football on in the background.

  2. They’ll assume I’ve fucked off to watch it either way and my boss won’t answer his phone because he’ll be in the pub watching it.

  3. I’d love to come into work, but I’ve got some severe cravings to he absolutely disappointed by my country.

  4. Pretty much everyone will know that whatever excuse you come out with will be to watch the football

  5. Do people even care all that much? I mean it’s just Iran. I can’t see many England games being that exciting in the group stages.

  6. I work from home three days a week so i’m pretty much sorted with a second screen exclusively used for the World Cup.

    Apparently our office is moving one of the meeting room screens into a different, open plan area so people can watch the game – the problem is that people will want it there for the whole tournament and Mondays are pretty dead in the office!

  7. I take it this is men’s football, since there have been several other world cups going on…

  8. I’m off Monday but I’m actually coming into work specifically for the game!

    Granted I work in a bar that doesn’t open at 1pm usually so I’m going to open up early and bang the games on the tvs throughout the competition
