Bring on Belgium!
The United States defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 on Wednesday to reach the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. The United States will play Belgium at 7 p.m. (central time) on Monday at Lumen Field in Seattle, the same site where the U.S. defeated Australia. A win would move the U.S. within one game of its first quarterfinal appearance since 2002. After that? The winner of that match plays in the quarterfinal round at 2 p.m. Friday, July 10, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The Columbia Convention & Visitors Bureau launched Kick It In COMO! back in January in anticipation of World Cup fever, particularly because Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City was a site for first-round World Cup games – as well as a quarterfinal match. The CVB has identified community partners that have “adopted” teams to become the go-to spots for fans to gather, cheer, and celebrate (or to commiserate a loss). The community partners are:
- Addison’s – Argentina
- The Heidelberg – Germany
- Hooters – Mexico
- Rio Grande – Team USA
- The Deuce Pub & Pit – Brazil
- The Roof – New Zealand
- Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux – France
