CONWAY — OK. Admit it. This World Cup fever has taken hold of you, even if the U.S. is no longer in it and it has all come down to defending world champion Argentina taking on reigning European champions Spain in the finals in New Jersey on Sunday at 3 p.m. on FOX.
Tuckerman Brewing has a great big screen for watching, and of course, just about every bar in town has a large screen, too, so grab a cold frosty and settle in for what promises to be an epic battle.
