Let’s face it, here in America, we’re used to the big three sports: football, baseball and basketball (and sometimes hockey). We know how those games work. We know when to cheer. When to take a beer run. When to take a “Look out, I drank too much beer” run. More importantly, we know how to celebrate their big games with full-blown, over-the-top, sports-themed parties!

There's the Super Bowl Party. The World Series Party. OK, maybe not the NBA party, but certainly an entire month devoted toward college basketball’s "madness" will incite a raucous party or two. We eat extravagant, multi-course meals with family and friends while we celebrate the ####-####-#### Bowl Games, that just happen to coincide with the December holidays.

But soccer parties? We haven't a clue.
The Food Network provides lively party menus for all the major sporting events, including, and I can’t believe I’ve never held one of these, The Derby Party (horses not hats), Vegas parties (because we all know Poker is a sport if it’s on ESPN), football parties and something called the “Wild Game” party which, I found out, has nothing to do with sports. But no soccer. They’re as clueless as the rest of us.

Maybe it's because it’s hard to plan a soccer party menu. With so few goals occurring during the 90 minutes of play, you almost hate to risk missing the one goal your team might score to go grab a snack. So what’s a fan to eat? How’s a fan to party under that kind of stress? Not to mention, the games are on at midnight!

But if you and your insomniac soccer pals want to party, we're here to help. Here at FoxSports(writing quality content for free)Blogs, we’ve put together a fool-proof, gather-the-late-night-crowds and watch the (non)scoring begin “World Cup Party" menu for all your partying needs.

Appetizers are always a good way to get the pre-game conversation going. Why not try these quick and easy snacks that won’t get you queuing up for the lavatory until halftime. (intermission? Second half-stretch?)

Germany’s hosting the World Cup this year, so let’s start with Heidi Klum’s (you're welcome) own family recipe for Sauerkraut Soup. “She says it looks a little nasty, but swears that it’s delicious! Genießen Sie, that’s German for “enjoy!” Uh, thanks, Heidi…Genie-bless you, too.

Or this recipe for Sauerbraten Meatballs. Any recipe including crushed gingersnaps can’t be all bad, right?

“Fleisch Perisky” sounds like a burly Polish sweeper but it’s really a meaty bun to serve with borscht! What’s borscht?!! Who cares?! We’re talking buns here! This one is a German recipe from an American who got it from a Mennonite woman in Winnepeg. Can’t get more World Cup flavor than that.

For in-game snacking, you can’t plan the big buffet way back in the kitchen. Food must be in line with the TV, so as to not miss a moment of the “action.” Try these tasty treats with international flair.

A good ole’ American six-foot sub couldn’t be more appropriate for in-line eating. Eat your inches toward the TV and you’ll never miss a goal. Suitable for multiple diners on either side of the sub. But, please, no nibbling your neighbor’s fingers! Or try a different country every foot, seed them if you want, Moroccan, Italian, the French Dip or the Cuban.

Chicken souvlaki was a big smash at the Greece Olympics and look at the international ratings they got! With tons of tzatziki on top to get messy from, you’ll look like a real foam-at-the-mouth soccer fan! Opa!

What would this year’s World Cup party be without Brats, dogs and sausage, oh my! Try a side-by-side #### comparison to get those international flare-ups happening right there in your living room!

We’re Americans. We like to eat. It’s OK to admit it. The world already knows. Why not show them we like food and soccer. Genießen Sie!
