Euro 2012 has its Montreal fans
Euro 2012 is now under way. Some Montrealers are very keen fans of some of the teams. But where will they watch? The Gazette has a feature on ethnic communities linked to each team and where they might watch the matches.
Reddit also has a list of venues for watching. (Seriously, there’s a West Island place called Kelly’s Pub where they support England? Both the Gazette and Reddit list it this way…)

Thanks for this link! I was afraid that I’d have to cheer for Germany in a Portuguese cafe this afternoon…

Luckily while we have some enthusiastic national football supporters here, it has never gotten nasty. We’ve seen street celebrations after many wins, but it’s pretty inclusive here.
Sunday afternoon’s Spain-Italy match is bound to create some noise either way unless it’s a tie. On Monday, France plays England, a match you might expect to have historical overtones here…
