The world's biggest tournament is in our backyard this summer, and this weekend the group stage hits its final, frantic rounds before the bracket begins. You don't have to drive downtown to catch it — pull up a stool at one of South Knoxville's sports-screen spots and let the neighborhood do the cheering.
If you post up for just one, make it Saturday night: Argentina, the reigning World Cup champions, take on Jordan at ten — the marquee match of the weekend.
Where to watch in SoKno
Kern's Bakery is headquarters — they're putting every game on the big outdoor screen, with a huge area to spread out. Alliance Brewing, South Coast Pizza, and Southside Garage have the matches on too, so you've got your pick across the neighborhood. The big ones fill up — get there early for a good seat.
