Unfortunately, you can probably take over my local bar. Spitfire has more Euro-wankers watching soccer than you can shake a stick at. Normally, this would piss me off, as I can't stand soccer or its fellow traveller, the Europhile, but with the hometown 9 being the worst in the Majors, I don't have much ground to complain.

I recommend the comfort of Abbey's own home--there's themed wine selections!

The Dray on 7th and 65th was packed to the gills for the Spain v Italy game.

In fact, I was gonna watch the Spain/Italy game at Presse, but it got too crowded. So I hoofed it up to Hopvine, which was completely empty. Eventually one other guy showed up to watch. Talk about elbow room.

Cafe Presse has also been crazy during the Euro Cup. If you can grab a seat at the bar, get there early and stake your territory--it's a great place to watch the game with other die hards. I've been enjoying watching the games at the comfort of my own home since ESPN finally figured out there was an American market for it. For the somewhat dissapoiting Italy-Spain match we had a bottle of Italian wine in the first half and a bottle of Spanish wine for the second. Just as was true on the pitch, the Spanish wine was superior.
