Four years ago, thousands of soccer fans crowded into bars and restaurants around Portland to eagerly watch the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Well, it's that time again.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup will kick off Thursday with a match between Russia and Saudia Arabia at 8 a.m. Pacific Time.

While the U.S. Men's National Team won't be competing in this World Cup after crashing out in qualifying, there are still 32 different countries that fans can throw their support behind.

With the time change from Russia to Portland, most of the games will be kicking off at either 5 a.m., 8 a.m. or 11 a.m. this time around. But that shouldn't prevent fans from getting their soccer fix. Some bars will be opening early for select games and a few bars in Portland will be open for every single match.

The most avid soccer fans will want to head down to 442 Soccer Bar in Southeast Portland or Kells Brew Pub in Northwest Portland. Both bars will be open for every single World Cup game and playing matches with sound on their televisions. In Northeast Portland, Beulahland will be opening early to air every single World Cup game with the sound on except for the France-Australia game on June 16.

Mad Greek Deli on East Burnside will also be a hot spot for soccer fans. It will be opening early throughout the tournament to air games beginning at 8 a.m. with the sound on. Mad Greek Deli may open even earlier if necessary for some of the big games later in the tournament.

If you're looking for the perfect spot to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup, we've got you covered. Below is our growing list of bars and restaurants that plan to air World Cup games.
