BUCKLEY Street at night is usually a quiet place devoid of activity, but not since the World Cup kicked off last week.
As Star reported last week, Cafe Salvo is open from 10pm to 7am every night, showing every single soccer World Cup match live on a widescreen plasma television.
Star visited the cafe this week to discover whether Noble Park residents were lining up to be part of the World Cup fever that has infected Cafe Salvo manager Brendon Robertson.
Mr Robertson said Monday night’s thrilling clash between the Socceroos and Japan attracted a crowd of 15 people to the cafe, all abuzz with soccer fever and coffee.
The following night, when Star visited the cafe, there were just four soccer fanatics who braved a Tuesday night World Cup session.
