While most of the Bay Area is fixated on the NBA Finals, the Women's World Cup will kick off this Sunday in Canada. The USA women's national team features several Bay Area soccer stars and has an actual shot at winning the tournament. 

The month-long tourney isn't stirring up anywhere near the amount of local excitement last year's men's World Cup got, but Footy SF has compiled a helpful guide of the best spots around town to catch the action. 

Most of the recommendations are San Francisco's usual roster of soccer bars, like McTeague's Saloon and The Mad Dog in the Fog, but you can also catch games al fresco at the Soma StreEat Food Park. The Parks Department will also screen games at Civic Center three times. 

If you'd rather watch at home, FOX Sports will be televising all 52 games and streaming them on FoxSportsGo

So get ready to yell and cheer and exorcise the nasty spirit of Sepp Blatter. Woohoo women's soccer!!!!

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
