The US Embassy in Korea announced Friday it will be closed on the afternoon of June 19, the day Korea plays the US in the World Cup Finals. An embassy official said in a press release, the move was to allow embassy workers to watch the game live. He also apologized, saying, people with interviews scheduled in the afternoon of the 10th, should come on June 11, between 8:30am and 11am or 12:30pm to 3:00pm.
