Anyone else booked time of work for World Cup? on 17:59 - Nov 8 with 3332 views | Swansea_Blue | Nope. I wouldn’t be able to prioritise this over other things I’ve needed to use holiday on this year, but why not make a thing of it, so enjoy. Right now I’m not that fussed about it and will be more likely to watch us (one benefit of being in L1 at last!), but that may change. |  |

Interspersed with a visit to the old mitre tavern in Hatton garden |  | |  |

I've struggled to care so far gotta say. Normally I'd be getting a bit excited at the prospect but given the circumstances have more than dampened things as it is without feeling put-out that it's the wrong time of the year... I may well feel completely different once England are on the TV so not making any wild claims about boycotting it just yet. |  |

I've got to admit that normally I would be trying to watch as many games as possible but I'm struggling to get my mojo working for this World Cup. For a start I'm more concerned about Towen atm and for me it just feels like having Christmas in June. Like you, I'll see how I feel once it gets going. |  | |  |

It’s a long shot, but it could have a positive influence on Qatar by hopefully having a peaceful World Cup , with people from all walks of life attending… I’m going to enjoy it, and watch as many games as possible.. it’s normally wet and grey when the world cups On anyway. So at least it will be sunny on the telly still.. |  | |  |
Anyone else booked time of work for World Cup? on 20:29 - Nov 8 with 2950 views | Coastalblue | My intention is not to watch any of it, suspect that will get severely tested if England get out of the group. |  |

Anyone else booked time of work for World Cup? on 06:19 - Nov 9 with 2606 views | ElephantintheRoom | No. Probably won’t even watch it on tele. I doubt England will get out of the group - the players can pretend it’s a protest vote. |  |

Anyone else booked time of work for World Cup? on 07:22 - Nov 9 with 2559 views | pennblue | I have decided to not watch based on qatars extreme views and laws, and the general corruption that took place in them winning in the first place. I am not trying to win pc points but the whole thing just seems wrong I am surprised england are even going |  |

I guess if England get into the KO stages I’ll start to have a look, but what with the whole Qatar thing and it being at the wrong time of year I’m really not getting the vibes this time. |  |

Is it because it's in Qatar or the time of year. I'm not sure. No way would I waste any annual leave on it! haha |  | |  |

Working in the mental health industry you need a break from it. Switch off for two weeks watching the World Cup . Got 4 weeks to use up by end of January. |  | |  |
Anyone else booked time of work for World Cup? on 23:09 - Nov 9 with 2115 views | The_Romford_Blue | I’m off from next Monday (in bournemouth and then in Manchester) until the following Tuesday. So will watch the england v Iran game with my mates family up north. They’re all Iranian. So that’ll be fun. Already looking forward to that. We will have the shop shut I’d have thought for the england games later in the tournament. Plus we show them in shop too (betting industry) |  |
