I'm in Barcelona and don't speak a word of Spanish... Any advice on where to catch the game tonight? I am near the casino, but would prefer a more local bar...

Jules Verne pub on La Rambla, north end of La Rambla (away from the water, near Placa Catalonia end). English pub, tons of TVs, probably get the BBC feed of the game and plenty of 6 or 7 euro Fosters. That is if you want something in English.

You would be surprised whale. I imagine there is little excitement in Barcelona. I was there during WC06 while Spain played and most people didn't care all that much. Spain is very politically fractured and national pride in Catalonia and Basque country is virtually non-existent.

Barcelona is one big melting pot of the Rest of europe for the most part

It is surprising slow today - although I have mainly been doing work...

I am going to check out La Rambla - leaving now... Thanks for the suggestion...

There is no where near the energy level that I remember when I was in Australia a few world cups ago or Italy last Euro cup...
