Interesting that the English fans you meet at games like this (Saudi v Uruguay) are fans of non-PL clubs. Met Bradford, Bury, Reading and West Ham fans pre-game. All enjoying their trips
As I get older, I’m getting crusty and cynical.
So believe me when I say that I’ve never covered anything like today’s match.
I’ve never overheard so many different languages. Nor seen so many fans inspired by a true underdog.
Most of all: EVERYONE had a great time.
Some Kansas City FIFA Fan Fest numbers from KC2026's Pam Kramer: Approaching 400,000 total registrations, 55% from 45-mile radius, 15% int'l, 30% US (outside KC area), 1,100 dogs Sunday on Purina Dog Day (other Dog Days 6/21, 7/5)

Primera gran sorpresa del mundial. España no le pudo ganar a la debutante Cabo Verde. Sin ideas, sin frescura, los españoles se toparon con un equipo ordenado defensivamente, con un arquero inspirado y con un corazón enorme.
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition? They will now. Inevitable inquest. Huge scrutiny on the World Cup favourites. That was so poor, no inspiration, no width until the fliers arrived. Brilliant from Cape Verde, guts and glory of a point. A draw against all odds, against the European champions. Cape Verde ranked 64th in the world – 61 places below Spain. Population 500,000. Madrid alone is seven times that. One of the great World Cup upsets. #FIFAWorldCup
The #1 market for USA-Paraguay on FOX was KANSAS CITY at a 9.2 rating and 29 share.
The top five:
KC - 9.2
Boston - 8.6
San Diego - 7.3
Dallas - 7.3
St. Louis - 7.3
From my seat in the press box, there are very few visible empty seats in the 100 and 300 levels of the stadium, as Spain and Cabo Verde kicks off. Very similar to an SEC Championship.
I get it you don't like it and I think it is worth the trial . If it was a bad idea the trials would not have advanced . A major league cannot adopt it on its own . There is a procedure . At various youth levels it DID NOT dramatically change the game in a negative way but there was a slight elevation in goal scoring . It has not dramatically altered the @CPLsoccer .
@davejsports@TheIFAB It gives a huge advantage to the attacker this would be onside. If it is such a good idea why has it taken so long for any league to agree to trial it and no major league agreed to trial it? It massively changes football just to suit the elite 0.000001% of games player worldwide
