U.S. v. Sweden and African Cup of Nations viewing
Filed under: Soccer
Viewing for the African Cup of Nations will be a little trickier. It can only be seen in the U.S. on French-language station 3A Telesud. Holy Land Deli again looks like the best possibility for catching games in the Twin Cities. I just spoke with the redoubtable Northeast Minneapolis establishment's office manager, Jan Stafford, on the phone. "To the best of my knowledge, yes," she says of televising the games. "Because we have a lot of customers who are soccer fans." The opening match features hosts Ghana against Guinea. Kickoff is 11 a.m. CST. On Monday powerhouses Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire face off at 11 a.m. in the most anticipated matchup of the opening round.

Rachel just posted this comment on the previous thread. I thought I'd put it up here as well:
From my friends at Mshale:
Mshale welcomes you to a Sunday Brunch to view the live kick-off
The Africa cup of Nations starts this coming Sunday in Ghana and Mshale will be hosting a live viewing party at the Casablanca restaurant in Minneapolis.
The first game featuring Ghana and Guinea will kick-off at 11:00 A.M. CST and Casablanca will be open by 10:00 A.M.
A brunch menu will be available for purchase but Mshale will provide complimentary African coffee. Come watch the game on a big screen and meet other fans as well. The game will be over in time for the NFL championship game featuring the New England Patriots and the San Diego Chargers which kicks off at 2:00 P.M. CST.
Mshale has partnered with Casablanca Restaurant and will feature all games during the duration of the tournament which runs Sunday January 20 through February 10.
Casablanca Restaurant is located at 2630 University Ave. S.E. in Minneapolis.
This year there is also the Nations Cup Fantasy tournament that you can partake in by going to www.allsoccerafrica.com.

I had lunch at Marina's Deli today, which is located at University and Lowry in N.E. Mpls. They too are showing the Cup games. There was a pretty good crowd in there to watch. What was more amusing was all the folks eating lunch there trying to figure out what the commotion was all about. After all, it was just a soccer game...right? Except when the cook bounded around the corner to see the replay of a goal that Morocco scored to bring the game within 1 with 4 minuets to play plus injury time.
Pretty fun stuff and some great attacking football being player.
By the way, Marina's has an outstanding lunch buffet.
