It's finally here! The FIFA World Cup 2014 kicks off tomorrow for a month of magnificent football - and yes, that is football, not soccer. 209 nations whittled down to 32 teams who will battle it out in Brazil to see who lifts that trophy on July 13. In no particular order, here are the Eater picks of where to watch every game.
All games will be shown in HD at the Sin Bin who are offering drinks specials - Coors Banquet for $5 and Fully Loaded Burgers + a Side for $9. Plus prizes and giveaways including a Foosball table. Call to reserve tables.
Boasting one of the biggest screens in the city with a whopping 9' wide HD set-up this is the Gastown sport fan's venue of choice. Book online for reservations.
With a big Whitecaps following you can expect to be amongst serious fans here. They will be opening for early games and serving a breakfast menu to match.
Truly delicious Mexican food and a love of football combine here. Definitely make reservations - the atmosphere is likely to be fantastic. Alas, only open for games later in the day.
Want to be a tad classy about your world cup? Head to YEW, all games will be on their big screens plus bartenders will be shaking up Brazilian Maracuja (Maa-raa-koo-zhaa) cocktails to pair with Organic Shrimp & Chorizo Croquettes with Avocado Dip and Pickled Jalapeno.
Making a bid for the Eater elite - and backing England - the Blackbird is offering a free pint of Carlsberg to all Eater readers who book a table. Expect prizes, top football anthem music plus specials on $5.40 Pints of Carlsberg for the whole tournament plus $16 Vindaloo available during PM games and $15 Full English available during AM games.
A place for fans of the Socceroos to holler their support for Tim Cahill & the guys. Australia most likely won't be in cup for a long time, so make it a good time. Call for reservations.
Cheering for host favourites Brazil, the B&B will be offering Cachaca Doubles for $8 at all Brazil games as well as traditional Brazil food plus pre-game entertainment before the opening game kick off.
