Don’t know if you’ve heard, but apparently some little soccer tournament started this morning somewhere in Africa. And if you’re interested in watching the action here in the Lower Haight, you’re in crazy, crazy luck.

On just a two-block stretch of Haight, we’ve got at least five options for treating your World Cup fever. They are:

-Mad Dog in the Fog: Mad Dog (pictured) will be showing every match, live. Meaning they’ll be opening at 4:30am most days. Ouch.

-Danny Coyle’s: Like Mad Dog, Danny Coyle’s plans to show every match live — opening at 6am today and 4:15am tomorrow, with snacks supplied by El PorteƱo.

-Cafe International: Hey, how about this! Cafe International is getting in on the action. They’ll be showing games starting at 7am.

-Nickies: Not sure if Nickies will be showing every game, but they’ll at least be showing this one.

-Molotov’s: They won’t be opening early for the tournament, but if the games are on after 1pm (when they open), Molotov’s is likely to show them.

Know of other viewing options in the ‘hood? Let’s hear it.
