Kansas City will be a hot bed of betting on this year's FIFA World Cup being that this is a Major League Soccer frenzy town thanks to Sporting KC being based here.  There are plenty of bars to watch each and every World Cup game and you can place bets via your mobile device.  Be mindful that, despite sports betting now being legalized in the United States, none of the establishments listed here are permitted to take bets on the games. Also note time differences between when games will be played and normal operating hours, so you may want to call in advance.  SCROLL DOWN FOR WHERE TO WATCH
