World Cup Fever on Polk Street.

Thomas

Well the World Cup is off to a strong start and many of the industry establishments on Polk are cashing in on early morning & afternoon trade. The number one spot on lower Polk hands down is McTeagues, which is the San Francisco headquarters of The American Outlaws.

Coming in at a close second in middle Polk is Cabin, while not a huge venue, for a fairly new joint, it is making its mark & a good one. Other venues on Polk are showing the the games but these two are opening early for the 9am games and they are playing the sound for all the games.

The city really goes to bat (no pun intended) for the US Soccer team & the fans. Yesterdays game against Ghana not only produced a win but also the earliest goal of the World Cup, Dempsey(8) for the U.S. scoring after just thirty two seconds put Ghana on the offensive for most of the game. Ghana managed to pull one back, but the U.S. finished off with a cracker headed in to the back of the Ghana net by the youngster Brooks(6) after a great corner kick.
