Argentina v England World Cup semi-final comes to La Rascasse
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Argentine and English supporters will share La Rascasse tonight for one of the most charged World Cup semi-finals in living memory.
La Rascasse, the harbourside bar at the exit of the Grand Prix's famous Rascasse corner, is hosting a joint viewing party this Wednesday evening as Argentina and England meet in a World Cup semi-final at 21:00. Few fixtures carry quite the same historical weight, and the venue will have both sets of supporters in the same room for the duration.
Despite the rivalry stretching back decades, organisers are expecting the atmosphere to stay sporting and good-humoured. La Rascasse has become a reliable gathering point for big football nights in Monaco, and a match of this magnitude is likely to draw a full house well before kick-off.
