 - Guys, 2018 World Cup, we're 
 gonna watch England play. 
 Where better than in a former 
 Puerto Rican neighborhood 
 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 
 at a place called Banter?
 Let's see how many fans show up 
 on a Monday midday 
 to see England play. 
 (cheers) 
 It's 1pm on a Monday.
 What, do these people have, 
 a half day at school? 
 (patriotic music) 
 (cheers) 
 I'm not gonna lie to the 
 viewers: I'm here all the time. 
 You've deemed this 
 place for soccer. 
 It's called Banter, 
 you have scarves. 
 - That's right.
 - What made you want to do that? 
 - My partners and me, 
 we just love football,
 and that's what we wanted to do. 
 We wouldn't open up at 8 
 in the morning otherwise. 
 (cheers) 
 - Don't none of y'all have jobs? 
 How are you all here right now? 
 - No.
 - Every stereotype you think 
 of Williamsburg, Brooklyn 
 is absolutely true. 
 - Are you a fan of the 
 English nationals? 
 - No 
 - Why are you here? 
 - Just to drink 
 and watch soccer. 
 - You're in the shot, 
 too, what's your name? 
 - I'm English, I'm Garret. 
 - Is this atmosphere 
 similar to England? 
 - No.
 (cheers) 
 - In what? Little bit more tame? 
 - Yeah. 
 - I think you would hear 
 a lot more angry shouting 
 than just one person. 
 - Yeah, there is one 
 dude who is very upset. 
 (beep beep)
 - Lot of people come outside, 
 smoke a couple cigarettes 
 they're arguing, they're 
 having geopolitical arguments. 
 - English! English! 
 - Let's see what happens 
 in the second half --
 will that guy survive? 
 (cheers) 
 - Sorry.
 - No, no, please I'm 
 watching along with you. 
 What made you wanna 
 come to Banter bar 
 to watch this game? 
 - You know, it's just the 
 best place in Brooklyn 
 to watch it. I knew there was 
 going to be England fans here, 
 and you've got to 
 suffer together, so. 
 So that's why were here. 
 - That's the most British, 
 that's the most English 
 thing you could've said. 
 What about the culture, 
 the people, anything? 
 - So England invented football. 
 - We invented the sport,
 but also we are underdogs,
 which is a hard quality to get. 
 And America loves the underdog. 
 - And all those who (bleep) (bleep) 
 who say football 
 instead of soccer, 
 all of that comes 
 from England, right?
 - I don't know mate, 
 it's up to you, 
 you can root for 
 whoever you want,
 but I'm going for my England. 
 - All right, look, we're 
 at an English bar, 
 clearly there's some 
 other food here. 
 It's not all English 
 food, but you eat pies. 
 This is what you eat. 
 The most traditional 
 would be right here. 
 It's your beef pie. You 
 can see it in there:
 nothing but gravy, 
 beef, onion, mushroom. 
 This is supposed to be 
 a Thai curry chicken. 
 Goes back to them 
 taking over India. 
 Really, all I smell is 
 the son of a banker 
 smoking marijuana behind me. 
 That's really all I smell. 
 All right, the green 
 curry is sort of like 
 almost like a bean paste --
 in a very good way. 
 Your last pie is 
 your vegan curry. 
 Anyone know how to isolate 
 that on your palate? Anybody? 
 Kinda tastes like some 
 type of very thick soup. 
 Feels like it's 
 missing something.
 For me, it's a dead animal. 
 But nothing better 
 to wash it down 
 with than your London Pride. 
 Does it taste good? 
 Who knows. Yeah. 
 (cheers) 
 - If I guarantee you 
 England wins the World Cup, 
 then you can never have 
 Cadbury chocolates ever again, 
 would you take that deal? 
 - One-hundred percent. 
 - That quickly? 
 - Yes. 
 - Would you take that deal? 
 - I'm more of a rugby 
 fan honestly, so... 
 - Yes 
 - That fast. 
 - It's been since 
 1966 -- we need it. 
 - How about this: What if 
 you couldn't see your 
 family for an entire year?
 - OK, well that's a bit, no--
 - OK.
 - (beep, beep) 
 England in that case. 
 - No I don't know if I would. 
 I don't know if I would. 
 - What if I said you could never 
 see your family for a 
 year? Would you still? 
 - I think they would understand. 
 They would understand. 
 My dad would do 
 that deal as well. 
 (cheers) 
 - If I told you I 
 could guarantee you 
 England wins the World 
 Cup, you could never 
 go to an English pub ever 
 again, would you take the deal? 
 - Huh? 
 (cheers) 
 - Look at this place. This 
 is big day on a Monday. 
 If you are not at Banter bar, 
 you might be the only one. 
 Great place to watch England. 
 It's a great place to hang 
 out. I'm gonna go hang out. 
 - Mate, I've got to say 
 I'm good not to be in this. 
 I've been to the 
 last two World Cups,
 and I'm good not to be in 
 Russia here but (bleep) it, 
 England's winning, let's go. 
 - How does it feel to watch 
 this game at Banter bar? 
 - It feels good, but I'd 
 rather be in Russia.
