Best Spots for World Cup Watching

Here in the sports-loving South, we take football very seriously. But that doesn't mean we can't get excited over the other football, er, futbol. Whether you're a true fan of the sport or just appreciate a bar opening up at 7 in the morning, you're sure to find a spot around town right for you. Stop by one of these futbol-friendly locales (like Fado, pictured) and get ready to sink into a month-long soccer stupor...

When it comes to the World Cup, Fado means business. They look forward to this for four years, and it shows in their planning. They open up at 7:30 AM with a breakfast menu and keep it going until the wee hours, showing all the matches and having a DJ spin tunes in the meantime.

Brewhouse Cafe

401 Moreland Ave Ne, Atlanta, GA 30307

The various international flags perched atop the roof of the Brewhouse is a harbinger of the love this spot has for international sports, especially soccer. They'll be broadcasting all games live, so sip on their famous rum-laced "Painkiller" and enjoy the badassery that is their patio. And did we mention they have 3D televisions? Yeah, get some of that.

Midway Pub

522 Flat Shoals Ave, Atlanta, GA 30316

If East Atlanta is more your style, then cruise into the Midway Pub. They have a fabulous beer selection (Allagash White by the pitcher? Don't mind if I do.), and of course they'll be showing every game live, so pull up a chair, and ask that attractive Brit at the table next to you to explain the rules of soccer.
