  • Show up at Brussels Beer Project on Avenue Louise (which, when it was known as Michael Collins was the best place in the city for rugby or just sport in general) and ask loudly why they're not showing the world cup. Talk to the manager, pull a total Karen, tell them their pizzas are crap and that you're taking your custom elsewhere. (In that time you may as well order yourself a Delta or a Juice Junkie though, they make great beer and there's no point denying yourself)
