Seattle Aussie bar soaks in excitement of USMNT and Australia World Cup match

For one sports bar in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, the United States vs. Australia FIFA World Cup match on Friday at Lumen Field provides an exciting opportunity for businesses and the community. One week into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Bradley Howe, the owner of Kangaroo & Kiwi -- an Australian and New Zealand-centric sports pub -- said they'll be opening up early at 8 a.m. ahead of the noon kickoff for the big game. It will be an exclamation point for what he said has been a successful stretch of business through the tournament's first week. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/austr... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media:   / komonews     / komonews     / komo4     / komo4seattle   Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
