World Cup Community in the Q?

Okay, who's got the scoop about the best place to watch games this weekend?

I'm totally sucked in, especially with LA Times story about Italy's scandal, throwing doubt on their victory...

26 people, including referees, soccer federation officials and the executives of four top Italian soccer teams, stand accused in the largest scandal in Italian sports history. Most of the charges in the so-called "megatrial" involve an alleged conspiracy to pick and choose favorable referees and otherwise throw matches.

...Roughly half of Italy's athletes competing in the World Cup belong to the accused clubs, including one of the scorers in this latest win, although none of these individuals is charged with anything.


Uh-oh...

Someone quick... catch me up on anything else I don't know about the other semi-final teams!

Woefully ignorant American asking for help... a novel approach, no?
