Where to watch the World Cup in Beijing

The 2014 World Cup is almost underway. With the time difference between Beijing and Brazil, the matches are at awfully late hours in the night or in the wee hours of the morning so you don't want to rock up to your local spot to find the place shut. We've gathered a round-up of venues that will be broadcasting the World Cup matches live so you don't miss out on any of the sports frenzied excitement - no matter what time it is.
