The 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off today, with South Africa vs. Mexico airing at 10pm local time. You can find the full game schedule here, who to watch here and the sports bars in which to do it here. Whinos can load up on World Cup vino.

We’ve also put together for you a comprehensive list of how to celebrate this football fiesta, whether you’re looking for a toothsome buffet or a 300-inch TV screen. We’ll take thanks in the form of a keg.

Jerseys

There are a couple ways to get footy jerseys here in Shanghai. If you want to blow your load on an authentic one, head to a Nike or Puma shop, where you can expect to pay between RMB280 and RMB600. Bargain-hunters can make their way to Taobao City on Nanjing Xi Lu or the fake market inside the Science and Technology Museum metro stop in Pudong. Be sure to haggle, and don’t walk away having paid more than RMB50.
