On the presentation tvs that we have in our office they are programmed to only share 8 channels. Like the networks, CNN, ESPN, MSNB . On the day before the tournament started I told our AV guy to add Fox and FS1 to the lineup.

That being said, I've watched almost none of the tournament live. I went over to a conference room and watched about 5 minutes of the Mexico...Sweden (?) game. I kind of pay attention to the score tracker on my phone and a contractor on my team who can stream it as he's not on our network will drift over and hold up a score in my office window if anything exciting happens.

Usually my wife and I will watch a match after dinner every night.

How do you 8-5 blokes find time to watch these games? I'd be scared of my boss catching me watching.

I record the matches and watch em at home later, come to find 500 new responses here
I have dual monitor set up at work so the game is streamed on one and I use the other one for workstuff. Nobody can see my screens but even if they did, I don't care. And for the matches that I really want to watch, I just work from home.

No one at my work cares if we watch, they have it on some of the smart TVs around the office anyway. But I work in a place with a lot of foreign folks, so it's a pretty big deal.

But the way, the Colombians accused Geiger of being pro England after the match, and the British tabloids were bitter about the no red card head butt. So pretty much no one was happy.

Colombia behavior was trash during the game. If there is anything the ref should be asked, it's why he didn't give more yellows to them or a red to the head butt. They hacked Kane from behind just about everytime he touched the ball to the point it was clearly their strategy on defending him. Kane got away with one late in the game, I imagine the ref figured he was owed at least one.

If the idiots just played the game instead of trash tactics they prob win.

I use SlingTV and watch on my phone and keep it discretely placed. I also am pretty good about just looking at the screen when the ball is in the final third.

Changing one of the many TVs from CNBC to a World Cup match doesnt take much proding nor does it elicit much of a response from anyone in charge.

With Dual monitors, no one really cares that I've got it pulled up. I'll typically have golf up on Thursdays and Fridays as well.
Had a conference call/WebEx meeting during the England match but still watched it in the background

Would be an interesting study to see which leagues are represented in the final teams over the years.
