the FA Cup broadcast on the bar’s patio while their kids played inside. “This place probably saved my marriage,” Oshunrinde, 55, an architect, laughed. “It’s a place to go for the boys to run around.” “It’s perfect,” Atwell, 39, agreed. “We don’t worry what the kids are up to here.” The Ground’s reputation is already well established, with world superstar Samuel Eto’o having visited and retired US national team goalkeeper Tim Howard stopping in to “talk to the kids,” said Marius Bugge, Sierros’ friend and a partner at the Ground. There are big matches on the horizon — the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League final on Saturday and the UEFA Euro and Copa América tournaments starting in June.
