I just happen to be here vacationing from the US. Admittedly, I'm not a huge soccer fan but I do love the vibe of a big crowd of excited people.
Is there somewhere on the island that will host a big crowd? And where could I get a shirt close by to blend in?

it should be a blast. It will be on everywhere on the French side, you may just want to walk down the street at grand case or circle thru the orient village an hour before the game to see what looks fun. It will be on at beach bars on Orient mentioned, but the viewership for normal games there is fairly low key. The biggest crowd may well be at the casino near the airport in Philipsburg, but it won't be all that energized.
We would watch at the American tennis academy in Mt. Vernon, just past the roundabout headed towards Cul de sac. It's an official PSG soccer bar and has brunch food. The most nuts local footy fans will be there. The owner, Oliver is a friend and we love watching PSG games and french fans bantering is a great way to learn new phrases.
There is the FWI French bar and brewery nearby, where the super U is and they are a sports bar with multiple TVs. More space and parking. You could hit one and walk to the other at 1/2 time. Oliver doesn't have much parking, cars on the shoulder will tell you how big his crowd is.
I don't think there is any chance of finding a France jersey on the island right now.
I’m hoping to se a game at the tennis academy. I assume it’s like a. Bar where we can just walk in?.
Yes. Not a ton of parking in the actual lot, if cars are on the sides of the road, do that and walk in.
Thanks. I didn’t realize you answered me before. You’ve been awesome with your advice. Much appreciated
No worries. Have fun and say Hi to Oliver from his friends from Atlanta
Where on the island are you?
I'm in Grand Case, but have a car and am willing to drive.
Yellow Sub or Kko in orient are both gonna be crazy.
Then any bar or Resto in case should have it on. If not head over to orient bay.
