Sushi Samba
Possibly the most scenic place to cheer on your team, with green astro turf on the 38th floor terrace, Brazilian cocktails a-go-go and an excitable, Carioca-style atmosphere. As you would expect from a half-Brazilian concept, they are totally geared up for the World Cup with match schedules on the website and a massive screen.
Sushisamba Mundial, June 12 July 13

Fat Ronaldo's
Under the arches in the heart of Shoreditch, this may be little steamy on hot nights, but what Fat Ronaldos lacks in space/ daylight they make up for in enthusiasm - think palm trees, cool cocktails from the Drinksmith team, and Andy Bird of Love Fever (co-founder of Happiness Forgets) supplying the samba-style sound track. Watch on three giant HD screens in both arches, with surround sound, and plenty of Latino fun between matches.
