Is There Anywhere You Can't Watch the World Cup?

Sometimes it is hard to find places to watch live sports. Some bars, being too cool for school, prefer either to darken their TVs or show obscure movies on mute. But not this month. Noticed on sister blog CHS that they know of 23 places to watch the World Cup. On hipster Capitol Hill.*

Meanwhile, in Pioneer Square, some dude has stuffed a big-screen TV in the back of a truck and parked it in an alley for public World Cup viewing (pictured above). Bystanders can just amble by, grab a seat, and feast on the soccers.

Not to mention the fact that you can watch the games live if you have free TV (Univision), cable (on ESPN), or even cable internet (ESPN3).

No doubt, soccer is riding a wave of popularity. Whether it's because the game really is that spectacular, or just because Americans love a fad, I'm not sure. And I'm sure we're not going to see 23 Capitol Hill bars crawling all over themselves to show something as un-hip as, say, the Baseball All-Star Game.

But we sports fans will take what we can get: If practically every bar in the city is going to be showing live sports? We can live with that, even if it's just for five weeks.
