USA Locked Up Group D, But Lumen Field Is About to Host a World Cup Showdown That'll SHOCK You
Holy smokes, Seattle, can you believe it? The biggest group stage in World Cup history is officially DONE. We're talking 104 matches, 38 days, and now, out of 48 teams, only 32 remain to fight it out for the ultimate prize. If you thought the group stage was wild, get ready because the knockout rounds starting today, June 28, are about to be absolutely bonkers. This is a competition unlike anything we've ever seen, and the Emerald City is about to be right in the thick of it!
Our USA Squad Is On Fire, Locking Up Group D!
Let's talk about our boys, the USA! Expectations for this team, hosting for the second time, have been through the roof. The "golden generation" might've stumbled a bit after their 2022 knockout run, but this tournament? They came out firing! For the first time ever, they won their first two games, which was enough to lock up top spot in Group D. That's huge! Now, they're set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 at Levi's Stadium on July 1. And looking ahead, if they get past that, it's either Belgium or Senegal waiting in the Round of 16. The hype is real, and the USA is showing everyone they mean business!

Global Superstars and a HUGE Matchup at Lumen Field!
Beyond our own squad, the remaining field is stacked with absolute legends. We're talking about what's surely Lionel Messi's last dance with holders Argentina. Cristiano Ronaldo is probably in the same boat. Can you imagine Neymar, Luka Modric, or even Mohamed Salah having anything left for 2030? This is their moment, and they're all in the last 32 teams. France is gunning to reclaim the title they won in 2018, Spain is a favorite for many, and you can't count out Brazil, Portugal, or England either. Uruguay is already out, but Cabo Verde is still repping the debutants!
But here's the kicker for us, Seattle. Get ready for this: Our very own Lumen Field is hosting a massive Round of 32 clash! On Wednesday, July 1, at 4 p.m., we've got Belgium vs. Senegal right here in our backyard. How epic is that? This knockout stage promises drama and thrills like never before, and we get a front-row seat to some of it. Canada already kicked things off with a 1-0 win over South Africa today, but the real fireworks are just getting started!
So, get ready to dive in, Seattle! Every single game is available live on Fubo if you want to catch all the action, with English commentary on Fox and Spanish on Telemundo. The USA takes the field on July 1, but don't forget that Belgium vs. Senegal showdown at Lumen. You do NOT want to miss that! Let's go!
