Sport, Spirit
The beer is chilled. The big screen a riot of coloured jerseys and the company: well, a band of football fanatics. The winger sends in an incredible cross and your favourite Number 10 times his jump to perfection. Goooooooooooooooal! goes the commentator and all hell breaks loose.

“The atmosphere at a live football screening is electric. I’ve been waiting for the last four years to get together with my mates and cheer for Argentina,” says Vibhas Dhingra, 35, a software engineer and football fanatic.
Just don’t look for free kicks.
