Argentina

The Boca/River rivalry may divide many Argentinos, but they try to put their differences aside when it comes to cheering for the home team. The Boca Juniors Argentinian Steakhouse is the place to watch all the Argie matches alongside some parilla, Quilmes, and a roomful of Argentinian football cumbia goons who like to get rowdy.

Bolivia

If you’re rooting for Bolivia, head to Mi Bolivia in Woodside, Queens. Is this place kind of a trek for the non-Queens resident? Yes. But if you’re looking for the most authentic Bolivian food and fútbol fans, this is your spot. Regulars at this no frills eatery toss back Paceña lagers and salteñas (kind of like a Bolivian empanada) for less than $2 a pop. Which is the perfect way to celebrate (or grieve) for your team – depending on how it all turns out.
