Just because you can't be in Brazil or you're stuck at work doesn't mean you have to miss the World Cup, we've got you covered for all your World Cup needs.

The ceremony kicks off Thursday at 2:15 p.m. EST with Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull and Claudia Leitte performing.

"The Opening Ceremony is a tribute to Brazil and its treasures: nature, people, football," the show's artistic director Daphne Cornez told FIFA.com. "The sense of excitement here is amazing and everyone is very motivated. It doesn't matter whether they're feeling tired or hot sometimes or if they have to go through routines again and again: they just keep on smiling. It's amazing."

The event will take place in Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
