Portugal was playing.
No surprise for anyone who has ever worked for any of the heavy construction companies in the city. The Portuguese love their football. Good on them for putting their love of the game before work. Most of the owners know nothing will get done for those 2-3 hours anyways even if they were to force the guys to come in to work, so why pay them for that time. Better to just let them go watch. Everyone is happier that way.
I have NEVER missed my team playing in a World Cup or Euro because of work lol. Somethings are definitely worth burning sick time and or vacation time. In 1998 I even almost had to figure out a way to reshedule my WEDDING, due to the posibility of my team potentially making the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time ever. Had it worked out that way I knew for a fact that none of the males invited (my self, and my dad included) would have wanted to be at a wedding ceremony at the time lol.Needless to say my wife was not impressed, and luckily for my marriage (unluckily for my team grrr) the conflict didn't end up happening.
Canadian's really need to learn to prioritize better lol.
Oh, and man Argentina look GREAT on attack. Hope their defence doesn't do them in cause they are playing some beautifull football up front.
heh.. the white of a wedding dress would make a good projector screen
hahahahahaha
