Where Will You Be Watching US vs Brazil?
Filed under: 2009 Confederations Cup, TV, US National Team
Watching with fellow USA fans is the only way to go for this one. Where will you be watching?
Here is an American Outlaws email that went out this morning to the Dallas guys:
“All Outlaws and friends of Outlaws:
On Sunday, we play for a world championship against 5-time World Cup winners Brazil. Our first world championship EVER. Older Outlaws like myself have been waiting … literally … a lifetime for a day like Sunday. You young bucks might see days like this 2-3 more times. Count yourself lucky that it comes so soon for you.
Count yourselves lucky, but do not let this opportunity pass you by. Do not let it pass your friends by. Do not let it pass your family buy. It is, literally, the most important American national sporting event since February 22, 1980, over 29 years ago. How many of you aren’t yet 29 years old? And literally, we get the chance to make history.
Our gracious watching party hosts, Trinity Hall Irish Pub, respectfully asks that we honor their dining room and their role in growing our group. But … Trinity Hall also offers an outdoor patio, and the Mockingbird Station offers an outdoor pavilion, and there are parking garages and roads and driveways and train stations literally steps away from Trinity Hall … if you get my drift. Let’s bring everything we have!
I urge you all to do all of the following:
1. Come early, no later than noon.
2. Wear your colors.
3. Bring your iPods with any music you like, I’ll play it on the iPod boombox.
4. Bring your friends and family.
5. Bring your drums and noisemakers and trumpets and streamers and flags and most importantly, your VOICES!
6. GO F***ING CRAZY FOR THE YANKS!!!!! (outside, of course!)
You can grab your seats in the main dining room at your convenience, there will probably be some TVs on the patio. But LET’S MAKE OURSELVES HEARD!
Again, keep it outside and everything will be just dandy!
I’ve been waiting, literally, almost 43 years for this moment, and I would be proud for each and every one of you to share this moment with me. As I write this, I cannot imagine how I might react should we win … tears, disbelief, relief, utter joy second only to family moments. It’s almost too good to be true.
See you there!”

Anyone know where we can watch in SLC? There isn’t a “reliable” soccer bar anywhere. Maybe fiddlers elbow in sugarhouse…
I will be at the Mezz in Houston - it’s fairly sketchy but people show up. There’s a huge crowd expected at Trinity Hall in Dallas.
Right there with ya Brett, Im wondering where in SLC I can watch the match as well.
at work
I wouldn’t call the Mezz sketchy. They’ve been opening up early all during the tourney for US fans. They’ve been very supportive of the US/Dynamo fans in Houston.
I meant “fairly sketchy” in a good way; dark, not too clean or uptight, loud, they get it, etc.
Ah, ok. It is sometimes hard to know if sketchy is a good thing or a bad thing. By your definition…yes…it is sketchy. A good place to get rowdy while watching some footy.
The Brewhouse Cafe in ATL
Sucks working in real estate, Sundays are my busy day. Praying it will be slow from 2:30-5 so I can watch it on 360.
that’s three of us in SLC. Lets meet up boys! Fiddlers? Somewhere else?
I would be heading to Finn McCool’s here in New Orleans to watch the game, but looks like being dad is going to have to come first today. So I will be watching it at home sadly.
