Watching the Reds in Buenos Aires

[Martian]

I'll be in Buenos Aires at the time of the second game against PSV. Any suggestions whether the game will be shown on TV or whether there's a bar that will show the game? Thanks..

I was there in Novemeber 2001. There are a couple of sports bars in Recoleta but I can't remember their names. The Barcelona games were on TV cos my mate who lives there rang me the day after the return leg to tell me he'd seen the match. If you're in a decent hotel you may well have the sports channels there.

The 2 sports bars I mentioned are Locos por el Futbol and World Sports Cafe. They are both in Recoleta near the famous cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. The former is on a sort of square which borders the cemetery. The latter is on a side street, also bordering the cemetery, at 1 end of the square. I don't know if you've been to BA before but 2 pieces of advice:

1) Don't get in a taxi unless you've had a large drink beforehand. The driving makes Naples seem like a country village.

2) BBQ beef is the main fodder but watch out because side dishes e.g. chips and salad must be ordered separately and cost as much as the meat.
