GOOOAL! World Cup action
With a month of soccer/football kicking off today in Germany, a few references for you:
1. If you’re NOT into it, check out this funny video clip from The Simpsons.
2. If you are into it, don’t forget my tips on betting wine for football. I wrote them for the Superbowl, but hey, the same principal of differing value wagers can be applied to handicap this tournament.
3. Catch some of the matches at bars around NYC! (You may have to drink beer though) Here are a few good sounding ones from the latest issue of TimeOut New York:
* Novecentro: Argentine joint will show all games live. Good wines available! 343 W Broadway
* L’Angolo: say “forza Italia” here. 108 W Houston
* Brass Monkey: For English fans of the non-hooligan persuasion. 55 Little W 12th St
* Zum Schneider: four screens mean this is advance tix only. 107 Ave C @ 7th
* Opia: Francais et GQ. 130 E. 57th bet Park and Lex
* “Little Brazil”: multiple venues, “carnival-like” atmosphere. W 46th St bet 5th and 6th Aves
* Iona: two screens, all non-pay-per-view matches, outdoor area. 180 Grand St, Williamsburg
For the rest, check out TONY. See the FIFA official site.
