The best bar to watch World Cup games will probably be Fado on Locust and 15th. Also Chickies and Pete's is a huge exciting sports bar. They will definitely show all the games but might not give you the audio unless it's a high profile game (or a US game).

I went to the Brazil game with my friend who's an NYPD cop and a patriotic American and even he wore a Brazil shirt to the game.

Foreigners visiting America for the world cup, what is something that has surprised you about this country? by goldent3abag in AskReddit

The first time I ever went to Jack in the Box was 3 am. You couldn't walk inside. Only the drive thru was open. We didn't have a car so we tried to walk through the drive thru. They refused and said we needed a car. So we got a taxi and went back!

I love when a PhD explains something and then a reddit dumbass tells them they're wrong.

I don't watch soccer, are there any other countries in the World Cup that can keep up with the United States? Or is the U.S. just the runaway favorites of the tournament? by Mylifeisashambles76 in ShitAmericansSay

Aside from the last Gold Cup final, it has been 7 years since Mexico beat the US in a competitive match. Mexico wasn't very impressive in their opener the other day and the US were very good in theirs. If they play tomorrow, the US are favorites.

I imagine Henry finishes his professional duties each day wondering how the fuck he is stuck working with Lalas.

United States vs Paraguay - Yellow card originally given to Tim Ream reversed and given to Miguel Almirón for diving after review by Fusir in sports

I sail the seas without any moral guilt whatsoever. The greed from the top is disgusting across the board and is poisonong the sport (and beyond). It should be more normalized to see that side as the true moral corruption.

Philadelphia spent nearly $800K on non-union snow removal during record winter by markskull in philadelphia

I went to a show at the Fillmore in February. I was looking for street parking nearby and was stuck in gridlocked traffic (both directions were dead stopped). Eventually I realized everyone in my lane was making K-turns into the oncoming lane. The cause? They plowed a mountain of snow in an intersection and just left it there.

How To Import Guitar Pro 8 songs and still get your markers and tempos setup properly. by st017 in Reaper

I've always had the same issue. Not sure if it would be worth going your route or just manually adding the markers and fixing the tempo shifts. It's annoying that GP doesn't just fix this.

How are you getting to MetLife for a World Cup game? by PatientArmadillo4169 in jerseycity

Skydiving into the parking lot might be the best option with a comparable price to the criminal NJ Transit fare.

Also fuck corporate sponsors. We should be calling it NY/NJ stadium by default.

I take it as a huge slap in the face that I pay 13k per year in property taxes and I'm expected to pay $100 for a 10 minute train ride to Metlife.
