The East Bay is known as a bit of a soccer hotbed and there are a ton of local watering holes and restaurants that will televise soccer games once the World Cup kicks off this Thursday. This morning, the Chronicle shared a few hotpots around the Bay, including Speisekammer in Alameda and The Englander in San Leandro.

There are, however, a few more places going above and beyond, committing to airing all 64 games during the month-long tournament. And yes, that includes the early ones that start at 9 a.m. (hey, it beats those 5 a.m. games four years ago in South Africa). So here you go, soccer diehards. Now, if we can just get Landon Donovan back on the team…

Probably the most “gourmet” of your options, the noted Oakland salumeria is adjusting its hours to open up for every game during the month-long World Cup. That includes offering coffee and breakfast service starting at 8 a.m. (Mon.–Sat.), and a special menu (two sandwiches, meatball or sausage and a vegetarian option, and a $4 Linden Street Brewery draft beer) in addition to their regular offerings for lunch and dinner. They’ll also have match-specific cocktails specials—i.e. margaritas and caipirinhas for Brazil-Mexico. 4395 Piedmont Ave., Oakland, (510) 601-0305, dopoadesso.com.
