It has interesting story-lines and the potential to be a good game. I've been following the World Cup from home but tonight looks like a time to get out of the house & into town. I'm sure the usual places will be showing the game - UN Irish Pub, CM Saloon, etc. - but are there any other ideas out there for places with good atmosphere? Or specific events for this game? Thanks.

Not been out for public viewing yet. But a friend of mine told me, there were quite a number of people at Johns Place for the last german match. So I will try it over there. By the way, what happened to the WC special on Thaivisa? Seems to gone...

Bring ur umbrella, to Recife. Latest report of heavy tropical rains in city, pitch may be flooded. Match may be postponed. If played today, pitch like a pigpen.

England is out, and more Americans will watch Pre-season NFL.

In the US the broadcast of the game against Portugal drew something like 25 million viewers - more than the deciding game of the NBA finals and more than the average number of viewers during the last baseball world series. And surely there are more than a few Germany supporters in Chiang Mai?

Anyway, the game looks to be on, despite the flooding. And I'm at home with my beer & tortilla chips.
