Bucking the trend, my place of work is not letting the staff watch any of the matches.
That hasn't stopped them running a "World Cup" promotion though.

Booked the conference room for 3-5pm and will be watching on the big screen in there!
Work has set up a massive 5m x 5m screen outside in the terrace area, will be screening the afternoon and evening games, have a BBQ, dj in the eve, and other stuff.
My colleagues and I are being allowed to leave at 2 to go to a colleague's who lives nearby to watch and booze it up.

If you want to watch the game during shift time here you had to request the time as holiday, sit and watch it on-site in the canteen, then return to work immediately afterwards.

We have 2 digital theatres
I just don't get why people should get the 'day' off to watch a football game
Football is on all year around. Your at work. You can record it or use catch up or whatever.
though like say if you work in a car garage as a sales man. No one is going to be out buying a car if the game is on (well not many people if any
)

)My employer saw it as a way to reduce sickness and holidays and enhance the working life of their employees
The world cup is on once every 4 years, this is our last and only chance of getting through to the next round.
I have just comendered the board room and have set up a nice 1080p projector and screen for the few people that are unlucky enough to be stuck in the office today.
It could be far worse mind we have a few sofas to sit on and beer and snacks.
