Where the World Cup threatens productivity the most

While football fans all over the world look forward to the FIFA World Cup While employers are looking forward to a month full of excitement, they are not quite as enthusiastic about their employees being distracted by the daily dose of World Cup drama.
64 games in around four weeks provide plenty of scope for distraction, especially when several of these games kick off during regular working hours. And while casual fans may be content to watch one or two matches, die-hard World Cup fans have the ambition to watch every game, whether it's Brazil and Germany or Tunisia and Panama.
The potential impact of the FIFA World Cup on productivity in the workplace depends largely on the time zone. While bosses in much of Asia and Australia can relax because the games start at night, Brazilian employers should probably take it easy on their workers over the next few weeks: Due to the time difference, more than 60 hours of World Cup matches in Rio will take place during regular working hours.
