FIFA World Cup 2010: Viewing Options in Austin

Published June 9, 2010 at 4:45 p.m.

• Knuckle Rumbler, Ultra8201, and Luminaria Media are hosting the U.S. vs. England match this Saturday at the ND at 501 Studios. The match will be projected on a massive 30-foot HD screen; doors open at noon. A huge shindig for the World Cup final is also in the works.

• Per its website, Fadó is the “Official Soccer Bar of U.S. Soccer.” If that’s not reason enough to follow American hopes and dreams there, the scintillating atmosphere the Irish pub’s patrons normally conjure up should be.

• Besides all the usual suspects like Third Base, Bikinis, and Pluckers, some not-so-conventional-sports-bars like The Mohawk, The Brixton, and Lovejoys are also showing certain high-profile World Cup matches.

• Before you get all jazzed up for the cup, head down to Daily Juice to enter their World Cup contest. Buy a smoothie, pick the winning team (and the runner-up), and you might just score a $500 gift certificate to Daily Juice.
