Cameroon – 2014 Joseph, June 18, 2014April 28, 2018 Having already checked out The Suya Spot and Harlem Underground as potential African World Cup Team watching spots, I decided to check out Yauca’s Lounge.

Still, really nice bar and the food looked great. I know I will be back.

2014 Mexico – 2014 June 18, 2014June 18, 2014 Although the game finished as a 0-0 draw, it was a fantastic game and very much considered a win by the Mexican fans.
