Where to find Bay Area World Cup watch parties in the Bay Area
World Cup fans across the Bay Area have a choice of venues for large watch parties and events to watch their favorite teams.
The success of the U.S. and Mexico teams in the tournament has brought out both hardcore and casual Bay Area fans to any of the large gatherings to share in the excitement. The World Cup co-hosts are soaking up the home field advantage: Canada is already having its best-ever Men's World Cup showing, and a win by Mexico and the U.S. in their next matches would also match both teams' best-ever performance in the tournament.
In the Round of 16, Canada will face off against Morocco on Saturday in Houston, Mexico will play England on Sunday in Mexico City, and the U.S. will take on Belgium in Seattle on Monday.
