The World Cup will rage on for the next two weeks until it culminates with what will surely be a riveting championship on July 15 in Moscow.

To make things extra interesting, the alcohol experts at Supercall have concocted an epic drinking game to keep you well-lubricated throughout the final matches of the ultra-hyped soccer tournament.

In an apparent attempt to keep participants from getting totally wrecked by halftime, the rules call for a “sips” following more frequent occurrences like unison chants or flops and “gulps” following goals or player substitutions. In the event of a tie game or red card, get ready to chug.

Grab a glass and read up!

Take a sip:

Whenever someone asks you if you’re skipping work to watch this game (and you will definitely be skipping work to watch, since games happen between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the United States).
Every time an announcer mentions that the United States failed to qualify.
Every time the only sound you can hear is the crowd chanting in unison.
Every time someone lays on the ground looking injured.
Every time that person gets up and seems totally fine.
Every 30 seconds during extra time.

Take a big gulp:

Whenever someone scores a goal.
Every time there is a substitution.
Every time you see someone cry on camera.
Whenever a player pleads his case to the referee.
Whenever an announcer mentions Iceland if Iceland is not playing.

Finish your drink:

If there is an own goal (finish your drink right now if you don’t know what an own goal is).
If Fox cuts to a pre-taped segment about one of the countries playing in the game.
If a red card is handed out.
If the game ends in a tie.
