Wherever you go, make sure they have "quality" post-game programming. What am I talking about? Please, let me 'splain you.
...To be filed under "Things I love about Latin America"...
I just went in to see what was on TV. I left it on the channel that showed the Mexico/France game. (Channel 10 I believe.) I'm pretty sure that it is a public channel. And here's what I saw.
A talk show/ game show with 4 people playing two on two soccer on a small carpeted field with lines and small goals in the shows film stage.
The players were:
1) Super Hot Girl wearing hot pants & spiked high heels
2) Super Hot Girl wearing daisy dukes, but with black leggings and spiked high heel boots
3) Fat production guy wearing jeans and his walkie-talkie headset
4) Guy in a gorilla costume and an Argentine jersey (without a number) who looked somewhat like Carlos Tevez
Now THAT'S programming!! Check your satellite provider for availability in your area.
And yes, SUGAR is where you want to be to watch the game with Englishmen. I went to El Alamo this morning for the Argentina game and I felt like I was on the set of Students Abroad meets MTV Cancun Spring Break. There were a lot of really cool American college kids enjoying the game. Nearly all of the girls looked alike (or at least read the same beauty magazines) and most of the guys were somewhat knowledgeable about the players, but just wrong enough to make me want to correct them about 1 every 5 minutes.
OTHER OPTION:
Parque Centenario and Plaza San Martin have jumbo digital screens & Fan Zones for watching the game. I've been to Plaza San Martin and it's fun, but you can't bring booze in. So if you need alcohol to watch the game, I would suggest somewhere else.
