Best Places in Steamboat to Watch the FIFA World Cup

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL! One of the world's largest sporting events will be starting tomorrow Friday June 11, 2010: the FIFA World Cup in soccer. South Africa is hosting this month-long event where 32 teams from around the world will compete to determine the best “futbol” team in the world. For anyone who has ever felt the camaraderie, energy and pure excitement of watching a soccer match with some of the world's most dedicated fans, you know this is something not to miss.

Having said that, many of us are going to miss the opportunity to watch the matches in person. So we have to rely on ESPN do their best to show us the best coverage of the event. And if you can't be in South Africa, there will be plenty of spots in Steamboat that will have the games playing for our devoted soccer fans, and for those who are just being introduced to one of the world’s favorite sporting events.
