The stage is set. Thirty-two nations stand at the ready, poised for World Cup supremacy... and you need a beer. You've waited four long years to don your colors once again, so we've rounded up a few strategic places to catch a little international flavor—and maybe a little <em>futbol</em> as well...
If you know in your heart that Bafana will beat Mexico in Match 1 of the Cup, stop by 10 Degrees South (the city's only authentic South African restaurant), where they'll be having a kickoff party tomorrow night at 8pm and broadcasting matches throughout the month. Like Invictus for soccer.
For gadding about with the city's UK transplants (and a favorable bird-to-bloke ratio), your presence is requested in front of P'cheen's massive projector screen for England vs. USA and some Guinness Battered Fish n Chips. We should tell you that the owner is also a UK native, so try to hold your tongue until after ordering.
You already know Fritti for its authentic Neapolitan pies and equally authentic Neapolitan brunettes. But for the next month, you can catch Team Italia on the patio's HD projector with buckets of Peroni and plenty of excuses to yell "Goal!" in Italian. Say it with us: "Segnareee..."
Loca Luna will be blasting 34 games on their big screens throughout the tournament, with generously flowing caipirinhas and plenty of opportunities between matches to perfect your merengue moves on the dance floor. Team Brazil would want it that way.
True World Cupping is not to be taken lightly. And if that means starting your day at 7:30am with an ice-cold Weissbier and an omelet chaser, so be it. The Brewhouse will be broadcasting all 64 games with some live music, DJs and overflowing beer gardens thrown in for good measure. Don't even try keeping up with the Germans.
