Soccer fans, rejoice! After four (long) years of waiting, the FIFA World Cup is *finally* here. If you can’t jet off to Russia to watch the tournament IRL, we’ve rounded up the best spots to watch the World Cup across Canada from June 14 to July 15. Most bars and restos on our list are airing every single match, but we’ve included a few locales that have a soft spot for a specific team, like Germany, England or Brazil. Look, even if you aren’t that into soccer, you should def tune in purely for the serious hotties that look so darn good in uniform (hiii, Cristiano Ronaldo).
