Singaporeans are resting up this weekend so they can stay up late for this Sunday’s big final between former champs France and underdog Croatia.

Through so many sleepless nights, we’ve consumed World Cup matches like there’s no tomorrow, whether it be at home, at bars, or community centers nationwide.
