It feels like just yesterday we were all celebrating (or mourning!) Spain's World Cup victory, vuvuzelas in tote as we stampeded through Brickell's streets estílo La Rambla. This year the tournament is back with a vengeance, and with a host country like Brazil, the time between June 12 and July 13 promises to be one of the most exciting, most thrilling, most magical time periods in world history. Miami, we've got some matching up to do.

Below, we've rounded up 21 restaurants and bars that are going all out for the World Cup. Some are creating internationally inspired menus, others are setting up epic viewing areas with grande screens. A few are extending their hours so not to discriminate against teams playing midday, while others are holding parties or offering swag and prizes during certain games. After all, we may as well deem this the year of the Caipirinha, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be celebrating them GOALLLS!
