Was hoping to take the month off so can watch all games and sleep during the day. Unfortunatelty, work commitments wont allow this.

With group games being played at 9pm, midnight, and 4:30am it will physically/mentally impossible to watch every game and then go to work every day (and thank god it'll be uni holidays!!) R16 and QF games are midnight and 4:30, so choices may need to be made there as well.

Best case seems to be watch 9pm and 4:30am games and miss midnight game to sleep. that means I'll miss games like ARG v NIG, SER v GHA, CIV v POR, ESP v SWI, POR v BRA plus half the R16 and QF games.

What are other people's strategies/recommendations?

Just as important, how you gonna deal with your Minister of Finance, Entertainment & Social Affairs as they will be maginalised for the month? ATM I'm being extra nice to mine, with all request being promptly met, no matter how menial, plus performing unsolicited neck-rubs o:)
