Here is a complete list of the times and dates of when and at what time England play during the World Cup.

Add this page to your favourites especially, if like me, you have a memory as leaky as the North Korean defence.




So, the only time you may need to throw a sickie (book a day off work) is Wednesday June 23 because it is a 3:00pm kick off GMT.

Saturday June 12 v USA Kick Off time 7:30pm GMT

SPECIAL OFFER - MONEY BACK IF ROONEY SCORES FIRST OR LAST GOAL  

Friday June 18 v Algeria Kick Off time 7:30pm GMT

Wednesday June 23 v Slovenia Kick Off time 3:00pm GMT

Should England as expected win Group C then their next game will be on Saturday 26 June at 7:30pm GMT

Should the unthinkable happen and England finish runners up in Group C they will play on Sunday 27 June at 3:00pm GMT.

So, no problems about taking time off work for the round of 16..unless you work weekends.

If England make it to the quarter finals as Group winners we will play at 7:30pm GMT on Friday July 2

If England make it to the quarter finals after finishing runner up in Group C we will play at 7:30pm GMT on Saturday July 3

If Engalnd make it to the semi-finals as Group winners we will play at 7:30pm GMT on Tuesday July 6
 

If we make it to the semi-finals after finishing runners up we will play at 7:30 GMT on Wednesday July 7

In conclusion, if you work 9-5 Monday to Friday then your only real cause for concern is the final Group C game against Slovenia as all the rest are at the weekends or evening kick offs.

Some commuters may struggle to get home for 7:30pm so find a local pub. Group games will finish at the latest 9:30pm while games in the knockout stage should be completed at the latest by 10:15pm (should they go to extra-time)

The most important date is the  World Cup Final which will be played at 7:30pm on Sunday July 11.

So book Monday July 12 off work now!
