The Battle Over Breakfast: Where To Watch USA v. Netherlands

I think it's only right to travel to Holland to watch the Dutch and the Americans battle in the knock out round of the World Cup soccer tournament.

The Netherlands Takes On Team USA In Qatar Saturday Morning

The many residents of Dutch heritage in West Michigan are facing a dilemma Saturday when the team representing their country, the United States, will take on the motherland, the Netherlands, in a winner take all game of voetball, as they call it in Dutch.

So, if you're up for some breakfast and soccer Saturday morning, here are some places to check out.

The Curragh, Holland

Is there a better place to watch soccer from the Middle East than in an Irish bar in a town named after a state in The Netherlands? Of course not. The Curragh on 8th Street in downtown Holland will be open for soccer fans at 9am Saturday, and they have a breakfast buffet ready for you. Not to mention Bloody Marys.

The Speak EZ Lounge, Monroe Street, Grand Rapids

The North Monroe district pub has long been a soccer fan's go-to in GR. They've been showing World Cup and British Premier League games for years. But get there, early, this joint will be rocking long before the 10am kick off.

Garage Bar, Ottawa Avenue, North Monroe Entertainment District

The Garage had a street party going on for the England game last weekend. They're not shutting off the street this week, but they'll be open at 9:00 am and are expecting a full house.

Logan's Alley, Grand Rapids

This Michigan Street mainstay will be open at 7:00am and will also be packed by the time kickoff hits. Just leave your Orange at home.

Most of the Michigan Street corridor bars will be showing the game, so if you can't get in at Logan's, check out The Birch Lodge, The Glass House or Bob's.
