I would think Finnegan's Bar and Grill at Universal would be rocking for that

I think I just read something about viewing parties at WWOS. Yep here it is: http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/soccer/world-cup

No idea if they'll be well-attended, but at least you know it exists!

I was wondering this myself. I have a 9 year old that would give up any ride to watch her idles.

Unfortunately, you pulled up a five year old thread.

For the 2010 men's WC, which this thread referenced, there was a cool viewing lounge set up in the Odyssey restaurant. That was made possible because the games were broadcast on ESPN, which has ties to Disney. To be honest, I'm not sure if they did the same for the 2014 WC.

The Women's WC will be broadcast on Fox Sports Network, so I would not expect any viewing around the parks.

They did. WC Soccer was shown in Odyssey. All commercials were muted but the complete games were broadcast.

Cool, I hope they will do the same for the Women's games, but I won't hold my breath. I will be there next week and would love to watch them.

When I watched several games in 2010, the vibe in the lounge at the Odyssey was awesome, with people from many different countries cheering on their teams.

For the 2014 World Cup,Disney had viewing available at The Odyssey and Wonders of Life at Epcot and Restaurantosaurus at Animal Kingdom.

However,the most exciting "viewing party" for the Argentina/Germany Final was at End Zone Food Court when the Argentina Tour Groups and Brazil Tour Groups "tried" to watch the game together "peacefully"-didn't happen!lol

If they were going to have the viewings at Epcot and DAK for the Women's WC,I would think it would have been announced by now.
