The World Cup has (literally) kicked off, and Saturday is the big game … USA vs England.
And seeing as how the U.S. has bought more tickets than any country outside of South Africa, futbol is the No. 1 sport in America for the time being. So don’t worry if you couldn’t jet off to Africa — there are plenty of places to watch the World Cup in Charlotte, on TV.
Kick-off for USA vs. England is at 2 p.m., but the parties start early.
Dixie’s Tavern’s doors open at 11 a.m., Hickory Tavern (Providence Road) opens at noon, and the party at Blackfinn kicks off at 1 p.m.
And Courtyard Hooligans is the premiere soccer bar of Uptown, and will be the place to be during the World Cup.
