With the World Cup starting in just over three weeks it seems that our local pubs are already gearing up for the tournament. The Ordulph Arms, Tavistock Inn, Market Inn, Union Inn, and Jack Chams are all planning on showing the games.

Jack Chams in particular are entering into the spirit with a ‘cheap Carlsberg before the first goal’ offer. The games will be shown in HD on two large flat screens. They’re also looking into the possiblilty of getting a screen set up in the outdoor seating area.

So where are you planning on watching the games? Can you recommend any of these venues from previous tournaments?

Have you been lucky enough to get tickets to the live games? Will you be having a World Cup party at home? Or are you fed up of the whole thing already and are planning on avoiding it at all costs? If so what will you be doing instead?

The dates and kick off times for England’s first three group matches are as follows:

19:30 on Saturday 12th June vs USA

19:30 on Friday 18th June vs Algeria

15:00 on Wednesday 23rd vs Slovenia

And while we’re on the subject what do you think of Cappello’s 30 man squad? The squad will be reduced to 23 players on 1st June. Which seven would you leave out? Is there anyone who isn’t listed who you think should be?

    I'd leave out Leighton Baines, Matthew Upson, Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, Scott Parker, Michael Carrick, and Darren Bent.

    I'll be in France for the first game so I'm hoping we'll find somewhere that's showing it!

    Bring on June 12th :)

    Freeview HD failed this area by not rolling it out before the World Cup.

    Assisted by a previously disinterested Government. Infamous money wasting failure organising experts.

    In short Freeview HD should be in this area in August 2010, just in time to have missed the World Cup.
