Oregon isn't hosting any FIFA World Cup games, but we can still be home to the best soccer bar in the U.S.
State of play: USA Today is asking readers to vote on the country's best soccer bar, and one of the contenders is right here in Portland: GOL on Southeast Hawthorne.
It's one of 20 bars in contention.
You can vote once a day through 9am next Monday.
USA Today will announce 10 winners on June 10.
What they're saying: "Owners Peter and Lynda Mahr took over the bar in 2019, creating a space that highlights the city's diverse soccer enthusiasts," according to USA Today.
GOL is "Timber-centric," per their website, but also hosts watch parties for the Champions League, other international matches and the World Cup, all in pusruit of "bringing people together through the celebration of fútbol."
