Jon Dunn ReportingWorld Cup fever is sweeping the nation, even in Salt Lake City.
The Iggy's Sports Grill in Salt Lake City wasn't very busy at first, but when the first game kicked off at 10 am Friday morning, the fans were ready.
"This morning we had people come in at 10:00. We had about 25 people lined up at the door," says Iggy's Manager Sammy Rideout.
Rideout says they have been ready for this since the last World Cup four years ago. They think the biggest day will be the first game for the US.
"The US plays on Monday. They play at 10am and yes, we will be open," Rideout says.
The one problem for fans is the location of the cup, Germany. That means early mornings if they want to watch the games live.
