Well, as most of England sneaks off early to watch the game against Trinidad & Tobago today, one union, Amicus gave advice on how to take sickies and has got in trouble.
If union members fail to book time off to watch World Cup matches, they could try to persuade bosses that watching a game together at work could be "a great team building" exercise, the website says.
It goes on to say that "it is quite difficult to prove that someone is not really sick if they have one day off".
"Taking time off work without permission can lead to dismissal for gross misconduct," it adds.
"Also, lying to your employer about your reason for absence might amount to gross misconduct too."

In Canada, today's match is on at the super convenient time of 10am. Next World Cup I vow to be in roughly the same time zone...
