The United States plays Germany at 12:00 p.m. ET–right in the middle of the work day. If the boss asks for a note, coach Jurgen Klinsmann provides one ready to print!

The U.S. team’s hopes for advancement largely rest on the results of today’s match. A win or a tie with Germany moves America out of the knockout stage. A loss complicates matters.

So, listen to Jurgen: stay home, relax, and watch an exciting game of soccer.
