Euro footie finals......help needed please

[Gee]

I don't know if many of you on here are football fans but last night Man united got through to the euro finals,edge of the seat stuff with lot's of nail biting and jumping around the lounge involved.[:I]After it had finished the date for the final was annouced (21/5/08) which land's slap bang in the middle of our Florida visit.

Now my son (6 year old) is a huge Manu fan i would really like to be able to take him somewhere to watch it.
Is there anywhere that someone can recomend that we can all go and watch in a family atmosphere but i can still get a pint or two whilst watching.

It's what the site is all about - sharing information and helping out where we can. Hope they win!! I expect you will be watching tonight to see who you are up against.

If you are staying in a villa you may find the football on the TV. Both semi finals are on ESPN, channel 29 on Brighthouse.

I know it is screened on our villa cable -on Fox Soccer I think my son said

[Gee]

Thx Linda and Mark.
Have e-mailed the pub for confirmation.

I like to go out to watch them Mark as you tend to get more atmosphere than sitting at home,not sure if this applies to America though.

I think Beef O'Bradys on the US27 usually has english football on

All the semi finals were covered live on ESPN and i am sure the final will be live on ESPN.
As stated if you are stopping in a villa they may have it as part of their TV package. We recently upgraded our cable TV to digital and we now get ESPN in high definition.
If you are going to a pub they may charge you to go in and kids are normally welcome.

[Gee]

I don't mind paying a few dollar's to watch,it'll be worth it to see the look on my son's face when he know's he's going out to watch his team.

Once again a big thx for all the answers,this site has been brilliant for helping us to plan our first trip to the states.[clap]

p.s we have booked a villa from this site and i think im probably more excited about going than the kids
