We will be away in Spetember when of course England have two matches.
The first (Sat morning - US time) is when we are in Clearwater so we will just have to see if we can find anywhere showing it.
The second match will be when we are back in WDW (Wed afternoon - US time). Does anyone know if they show stuff like this at ESPN? Last time we were away when the football was on we went to the Cricketers Arms on I Drive - absolutely rammed with people sitting on the floor.
I am hoping not to go there this time so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Cricketers arms is only one I can remember but in one of the voucher books I was reading at Easter there was an ad in for another, just cant remember where.
Even though I am a big England supporter and host OTT football BBQ's when they play its the last thing I would be doing in Florida.
Hope you find somewhere.

Hi
You could give the Orlando Ale House a try on Palm Parkway at LBV. We watched the Champions League Semi Final match there earlier this year. They have loads of screens showing all different sports, food is really good value and a nice atmosphere.
Another couple you could try are TGI Fridays Front Row Sports Bar and Buffalo Wild Wings, both on I-Drive. Not watched any sport at either of these but both venues have loads of screens and the wings at BWW are magic!

If you really want to see if the game is on Live at 'WDW' then ESPN Sports Bar at the Boardwalk is definitely the best option.
In 'Orlando' there are several places to try, Best of British Soccer World on I-Drive often have the big games on, as does Friday's Front Row just further up I-Drive.
Orlando Ale House has a million TVs and will always be showing the live sport!
In Kissimmee there are a number of British type pubs such as Coconut Willies and Rovers Return that may show it also.
The coverage of the game could depend on whether SKY have the viewing rights in the UK, as there will be several international games on at the same time it could well be BBC are showing the game back home, this may make watching the match in Orlando more difficult.

We watched three of England's World Cup games at the ESPN at Boardwalk and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although we're Welsh, we loved being part of the atmosphere created by the largely English crowd who were cheering their national side on. (The food was good too).
Happy memories! :)
