- Bars in the US have seen sales double during world cup matches.
- One bar that typically opens after 5pm has taken to opening at 11am during matches.
- The most pressing concern is that the USA will soon be eliminated. If that happens then bars will lose thousands in revenue.
- After England was knocked out bars, supermarket and sports shop all reported a fall in sales.
