The World Cup final is the perfect excuse to get together with mates and host a football-watching party.
From serving up pub snacks football-themed plates and sipping great craft beer, to making a football quiz and testing everyone's knowledge on the sport - there are plenty of ways to make a party out of it.
It's a great way to celebrate the sport of football, no matter whether your favourite team, loses, wins, or *sheds a tear for England* has already been knocked out.
Here are the five great things to include when you host a World Cup party for the finals this December...
Drinks
It goes without saying that beer is the ultimate drink for watching football. Beer cans are a great choice because they minimise the chance of big sofa spillages that you might otherwise get with pint glasses.
Hopsmore is a British craft beer company that's launched a World Cup 2022 Craft Beer Mixed Case for the occasion, complete with a series of different delicious beers, a snack, cooler bag and a magazine.
You can get the box for just £35 instead of the original price of £45 if you use this link here.
The magazine is packed with plenty of insider craft beer knowledge - which can be a handy distraction if you need to look away during any penalties!
Decorations
There are lots of football-themed napkins, balloons, plates and so on that can be bought online. They’re the perfect way to add something special and help make the event into a real party.
If you’re supporting one of the playing teams, you could even put some of their flags around the place, or have a series of snacks inspired by the teams that made it to the final.
Tasty snacks
If you’ve got mates over to watch the football, make sure that you have a stock of tasty snacks at hand - the last thing you want is someone missing THE winning goal because they’ve disappeared to the kitchen.
Crisps, dips, and even build-your-own tacos are great choices. Oh, and did we mention the Hopsmore World Cup Craft Beer Mixed Case contains a snack as well as tasty craft beer?
Half-time entertainment
Half time isn't just about having a toilet break or stocking up on more drinks.
Have a quick kickabout in the garden, prep a short quiz to put your friends' knowledge to the test, or simply grab a couple of Hopsmore cans and try out some new styles and flavours with mates.
Want to keep some drinks cool but already have a fully stocked fridge?
Bring a cooler bag to the sofa, to make sure that your guests can enjoy their beer at its optimum temperature throughout the match.
Buy the Hopsmore World Cup Craft Beer Mixed Case, and you’ll get the above cooler bag thrown in. You can use it to keep them cool, and hopefully you’ll keep your cool too if your opposing team scores.
Please drink re sponsibly, 18+ only
