Have fun serving breakfast favorites from each country to celebrate their culture. If later in the day, serve appropriate lunch or dinner entrees associated with each team.

 

Uruguay – Milanesas, which is meat covered with eggs and breadcrumbs then fried and served with over medium eggs.

Turn your living room into a stadium by hanging each country’s flag and a backdrop of South Africa’s dedicated fans. Make sure to have plenty of seating visible to the television. Play a DVD of past classic games and great World Cup goals to set the mood. Cause a raucous by organizing a sweepstake. Bet on the minute of the first goal scored or the total of offsides calls. Just have fun with it and enjoy celebrating with the rest of the world.

 

Good luck!!!

Finally after many years Soccer is catching on in the United States as well. Lovely idea to create a food dish from the country that is playing.
