Soccer Watch
Places to watch the WC, and more
By Nick Barbaro, Fri., June 16, 2006
Where to go: Venues showing all 64 games live include Fadó, 214 W. Fourth; Ringers, 415 Colorado (plus daily replays, 5:30 & 8pm); Mother Egan's, 715 W. Sixth; Cafe Mundi, 1704 E. Fifth, and La Mexicana Bakery, 1924 S. First. Fans of Brazil (and who isn't?) should hit Sampaio, 4800 Burnet, and/or Casa Brasil, on East 53rd at Evans; both had raucous crowds and samba drums for Brazil's opener on Tuesday. Argentina fans are at Buenos Aires Cafe, 2414 S. First. Other notables: Alamo Village (except 8am games), Progress Coffee on East Fifth and San Marcos; Club Carnaval, 2237 E. Riverside; Copa, 217 Congress; for that matter, any ethnic restaurant or bar with a TV is a good bet including B.D. Riley's, 204 E. Sixth, where the Chrontourage is watching the USA game, 2pm Saturday!
