Finding a bar showing the France-Brazil game on a day of cross-town baseball game between the White Socks and the Cubs: yeah, nice try. We tried three places, including all the ones recommended by "the Consulate". One was completely full by the time we got there, one had a small TV, no sound, by the bar, and one was actually closed.
We ended up at our favorite place ever, Cafe Iberico, which was showing the game on big TV's, even though the crowd was clearly cheering more for Brazil than us. We ordered a few pitchers of sangria, and watched the Most Amazing Game of this World Cup. And yes, we won !; take that, Brazil! Next up, semi-finals on Tuesday. This is so fucking awesome, I can't stand it.
