Hello Football Fans!
We are close to the end of World Cup Qualifying with two rounds of games this Saturday and Wednesday. As usual, there are a ton of games on tv, most of which will be shown on delay. New this round is the fact that all 5 games from each round of CONMEBOL qualifying in South America will be shown on delay on Setanta including Brazil v. Argentina. The leagues will resume on the 12th with a full slate of games and the UEFA Champions League will kick off on Tuesday, September 15th.
The USA plays El Salvador at 5 pm on Saturday, September 5th. This is the first match that we will be showing as an official US Soccer Bar. We’ll have US Soccer pint glasses for sale for $4 and a keg of Ballast Point Sculpin IPA tapped at 4:30 pm to help us cheer on our team. The second USA match is at 4 pm on Wednesday, September 9th and though I have yet to figure out what special beer I will have on tap – I will think of something good I promise.
