Sports bars are not my core expertise so I approached a soccer addict (although he probably prefers “expert”) for the best bars to watch soccer in DC.  Apparently its almost always soccer season between England playing Aug-May and European Cups and World Cups alternating years.  Who knew? 

So his first choice was Lucky Bar.  They do some great authentic English breakfasts (like beans and toast) since international games tend to be at weird hours.  His other insider tip - try to sneak in some Starbucks  if you need a caffeine fix because their coffee can be a bit subpar.  

Next runner up would be Capitol Lounge on the Hill.
