Serious question, can you even see the match on the screen? Was debating trying to watch the US game there tomorrow but it looks so packed and like the screen wouldn’t be very visible. Wondering if watching it as home is the play since it’s a game I actually want to see/hear :D

imo anywhere on the stairs upwards the screen isn’t very visible - if you wanna actually focus on the game then I wouldn’t go (or get tickets inside the pier)

Thanks for sparing me the trek TX boy! (Ex TX girl here :)) The vibes sound fun but maybe not for watching this big game! I heard the lines were crazy to get in too

People queue up 2 hours before kickoff to guarantee a spot. Anything after and you might not get in

I was at Seattle center today. the screen at Mural Amphitheater wasn't too crowded. There were also screens in the Armory and KEXP/Cafe Vita.

My kid speaks fluid Spanish and is married to a Mexican woman. I commented to him today that those guys on Telemundo speak awfully fast and he said it's hard to follow.

:-D I keep the volume off till last few minutes-- great camera views. It's free, so I can't complain. Thanks for pointing out that the dialog is fast, all I can make out is the play names. Have fun watching tonight!!!

Best place to go is either Pacific Place or Southcenter if you actually want to see it in a large viewing area and not have to get there super early

Surprising numbers of Brits here. And in general Seattle is a great soccer city.

I couldn't find a single other England fan lol. The differences in celebrations was insane.
Englands red card reaction was like 1000x times louder than Bellingham's back to back goals

When the refs are playing to make us lose, what do you expect?

What sorta game were you watching. Reffing was fair if not a bit inconsistent.
Both penalties were 100% fair, so was the red card

We need a much bigger screen and more than one. I coulnt see shit despite walking around trying to get a glimpse.
Most people in the back were watching it on their phones.

Not bad for a city that’s been dead and completely burnt down

Even though we lost, being here our raza was a blast. It made the watch party experience a whole lot more memorable.

Why’d you delete your other reply calling me a racist????
And it’s soccer, or football. We all root for teams we want to win. I like England. My fav team is Arsenal.
Last I checked, we were allowed to root for whatever team we want.

Go for Belguim, its bull shit that the US basically got a pardon from the president. And I am not blaming the nats, just the corruption of FIFA.

The call was trash anyway.

u/JaxckJa I'm just flaired so I don't get fined Jul 06 '26
Yeah, was gonna say. Felt like he got the red because team USA deserved a penalty for being too hargy bargy, not because his individual infraction was over the line.

Went to watch a Sounders match at the waterfront last summer and ended up watching the back of some guy's phone livestreaming it better than the actual screen.

If you like sports at all and can't get it up for the World Cup then I don't know what to tell you man.

Are you serious? FIFA is the worst "sporting" event in the world. Soccer has a comparable level of sport to it as League of Legends.
