Bradleys (Sienna 39) usually has a decent crowd in for football, although they do get a few plastic fans now and again (Poles wearing replica shirts and trying to, for example, do Arsenal chants when they can't actually pronounce the word Arsenal).

Warsaw Tortilla factory (corner of Wilcza and Poznanska) also has a decent group, fewer Poles than Bradleys and a more mixed selection of foreigners.

Legends (corner of Emilii Plater and Wspolna) shows games and gets a mixed expat and Polish crowd. But it also smells rather badly of chip fat (there's nothing blocking off the kitchen from the bar area), which limits my visits there to times when they aren't cooking or when all the doors and windows are open.

All of the above places have Sky Sports and ITV and can show two games at the same time. Both Bradley's and WTF also have BBC and the ability to show four games at the same time.

Those are pretty much the only places (although Sense also shows games and gets a few expats in).

If you want people who really love the game, why not go watch a match live? These guys can help you with that: http://www.facebook.com/groups/poloniainternational/

Whenever I'm in Warsaw I end up watching matches at Champions Bar - I was there watching Fulham play Odense at one end of the bar whilst Wisla were playing Twente - it was ok until the last minute of injury time when Odense scored an equaliser which meant that as Wisla had won 2-1 they went through to the knock-out stages of Europa :o(

That night it wasn't too crowded, but for Chelsea, Man Utd, and some other top European clubs it may require reserving a table; when Italian matches were on there was a large contingent of native Italians cheering on their team and there was a good atmosphere in the bar.

This is what I have done when over in Warsaw; I have my Karta Kibica (Supporters Card) for Legia Warszawa which enables me to purchase tickets online; loved the Pepsi Arena ..... great atmosphere in the ground.

Next time I'll try and get to see what Polonia W are like.
