4 years ago, when the World Cup was held in the US... the games were scheduled in the morning and early afternoon.. when people were working.. well, everywhere.. from small.. to big companies (such as Ford, Sony, General Electric and so on) made the expected.. they gave 2 hour breaks.. and installed TVs.. and BIG screens (if they could afford it) so their workers could watch the national team play ;)

Classes in Colleges, High Schools and Elementary Schools were interrupted so students could watch the national team play

The streets are empty whenever the national team plays

well congratulations on the 1-0 win, croatia so shit though.
