Well, the World Cup is well underway with some terrific matches between the teams have been played.
Russia have so far surprised everyone are sit top of their group with six points, in other groups, France, Croatia, and Brazil all top their groups after 2 games played. Spain & Portugal had a thrilling opening game where Ronaldo stole the limelight, both sit on 4 points and anything can happen with the final group game. There are more games to played, and we hope England will qualify to the knockout stages.
There are many bars and restaurants showing the games all across Pattaya, it’s free to watch on Thai television, and during the match the commentary is in English. However for a true football experience, we recommend watching it in town at one of the following bars; Retox Game On, i-rovers, The Sportsman, Retox Lengkee, Le Pub in Soi Diamond. Further afield, Hemingways Jomtien, on the Darkside (East Pattaya) Murphy’s Irish Pub, Retox Outback, Sunny’s Restaurant, and The Loft who provide a free minibus service.
The knockout phase begins on 30th June with the quarter finals being held on the 6th and 7th July, the semis on the 10th and 11th July and the third and forth place decider, something of an anti-climax being held on 14th July.
The final will be held in National Stadium in Moscow (Luzhniki Stadium) on 15th July with a kick-off time of 10pm. Everyone will be hoping that their team manages to the latter stages with national pride at stake.
The tickets for games have been selling surprisingly slowly to date and this is for a variety of reasons which there is no need to go into. However, the TV audiences around the world are bound to be high with viewers prepared to stay up or wake up throughout the night to watch their teams play.
Whoever makes it to the final, the team at The Pattaya Guide will be watching.
