World Cup Semi-Finals and Finals @ Bitters

Tuesday, 06 July 2010 14:47

Hello Football Fans,

After a few weeks of World cup action 32 nations have been whittled down to 4 elite teams! The round of 8 saw the heavily favoured Brazilians fall to the Big Orange Machine, Netherlands, while the equally favoured Argentineans were shocked by a young German squad!

This week we will see the last World Cup action in South Africa with games on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Uruguay holds the only remaining non-European chance in World Cup facing the undefeated Netherlands. Uruguay will advance to the semi-finals without their top scorer Luis Suarez, who after saving Uruguay’s chances with a vital handball on the goal line against Ghana, will be suspended for the semi-finals. The Netherlands will look to exploit this weakness and cruise through this World Cup undefeated.

Uruguay vs. Netherlands – Tuesday July 5th 3:45pm

Wednesday Spain will look to surpass their best ever showing at the World Cup with and advancement to the finals. The “rebuilding” team Germany has quickly realized that this team is exciting, fast, and much better than anticipated. Will 2nd ranked Spain finally finish off the goal scoring power house Germany? Will Germany continue to better both rank and expectation? Come watch at Bitters and find out!

Germany vs. Spain – Wednesday July 6th 3:45pm

3rd place game to follow Saturday July 10th 3:45pm

CHAMPIONSHIP!! Sunday July 11th 3:30pm

World Cup Round of 16 @ Bitters

Friday, 25 June 2010 17:20

Hello Football Fans,

Big weekend for FIFA World Cup action as the round of 16 begins. The round of 16 - knockout round - is single elimination so all games will be hard fought and NO MORE DRAWS!!!

On Saturday the small yet speedy Korean team will be taking on a strong Uruguayan squad. Korea looks to drive into the record books continuing to their best ever showing while Uruguay will be looking to continue the dominance of South American teams at FIFA World Cup.

Ghana will hold the weight of a continent being the only African squad to advance to the knockout round. Ghana will face stiff competition from the US, who after two exciting matches has drawn renewed confidence and a larger fan base in their home nation.

Sunday the drama will be playing out with two powerhouses of football - England and Germany - taking to the pitch for an exciting game of the round of 16. English football fans are thirsty for advancement but will be facing a German squad loaded with offensive potential. Both teams have at times not played to their potential and will be looking to prove themselves. The afternoon game will feature a battle of the Americas with Mexico taking on Argentina. Argentina has had a history of success in World Cup but will need all of their stars to compete with the gritty Mexican squad.

We hope that you will join us for all the FIFA action at Bitters Pub.
