#1 – BEACH BLAST BACK: Thanks to Christy from Coastal for the tip: The Sounders FC Soccer Beach Blast Tournament is coming back to Alki for a second year. Registration opens next Wednesday (though apparently teams from last year have been invited to pre-register); the tournament’s on August 22nd. Lots more info here.

#1 – WORLD CUP WATCHING: No more Team USA, but diehard soccer fans are still cheering FIFA World Cup Soccer as the tournament field narrows. Our original “where to watch” list is probably a little dated now that things have changed, but we did get an update from Beveridge Place Pub, about their schedule for the remaining games, including some early opens – click ahead to see it (and if you have a venue that’s still showing matches, let us know):
