I'm sure everyone is aware (and cares) that the world cup is only 53 days, 14 hours, 15 minutes and 11 seconds away!

This thread is about pubs/bars/restaurants that will be showing games.

Hopefully this will be updated regularly.

The official site of the tournament is at: http://fifaworldcup.ya...

I've watched from Chez Jay's in Santa Monica. Both the manager and weekend bartender are football fans.  Back in '94 two of the South American teams were hotel-ed near by. Ocean Ave was mad crazy with World Cup fans!

zabumba on venice blvd is showing all the games. for a full cultural immersion go watch the brazilian team's games. caution: if they lose a game, watchers may experience a sincere, acute depression.

Love the football talk. Some great games today. England's defense was superb today. Maybe if Rooney hadn't flaked out England could have scored a goal in the OT--they were very close. France was clearly the most impressive of the four teams today. Zidane was a man among boys it seemed.

zidane's foul didn't change anything. if it were early in regulation i'd be more critical. i think he just wanted to go out as a badass, which he is.

i watched at the pig & whistle today. they did a great job.

Conversation between Zidane and Materazzi.

Materazzi :" Zidane you think you're so Tough but I think you're a Big Pussy. I dare you to go head butt me in the chest when the refs not looking "

Zidane: " You dare me you Italian sonofabitch !!"

And the rest is history.....

Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) rocks with Drogba and the rest of the team!
Check them on www.abidjan.net  (Abidjan is the economic capital city of Ivory Coast).  And Ghana is also the neighboring country.  It is just contagious!

See you
