I have never been there, and I thought I knew all the soccer bars in Manhattan... See how much I know... I will check it out. It is called the Tonic Bar and is on 7th Avenue between 48th & 49th street. Thanks for the heads up mate. @Goose: That bar looks like the business.

The winners from First World War treated them as rubbish, made the Treaty of Versailles, some Germans got angry and we know the end... the French team from 1982 scored 3-1 on the ET at the Semifinal on Spain and thought they were already in the Final and then... “De Telegraaf” almost put the affair on its headlines from that July 7th.
