    Bless the U.S. Soccer employee who took Clint Dempsey’s phone and uploaded this photo to Instagram.

    An image so good, it could be jingoistic #sports propaganda. And it is!

    Leave your job and watch USA vs. Germany

    If you leave work early to watch the United States play Germany, there will be no lost productivity, because it is a lie. Other countries with over two hundred years of history know this already: productivity is a fiction, and the average adult has something like four and a half or five hours of actual work time a day. The rest is creative accounting, a lie told by managers to managers to justify their existence. Your wages have been effectively flat for the better part of a decade, anyway.

    Take that flat money to the bar, and come back after the U.S. is done beating Germany.

    It’s a legitimate question. After all, for the first 10 days of the World Cup, no two matches occurred at the same time. But, in the final game of the group stages, two games occur simultaneously. This wasn’t always the case. Through the 1982 World Cup in Spain, the matches remained staggered.
