World Cup fever has taken over the Pacific Northwest including Seattle and Portland

It's the match Seattle has waited years for. It's the match that could solidify Team USA as a bona fide World Cup contender. Indeed, when the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) and Australia kick off at "Seattle Stadium"—normally Lumen Field—at noon, there's a lot at stake. National pride, group positioning with both teams winning their openers, and, of course, an opportunity to bring World Cup soccer to Seattle. https://katu.com/sports/usa-usmnt-aus... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KATU on Facebook:   / katunews   KATU on Twitter:   / katunews   Subscribe to KATU on YouTube:    / @katunews   Daily News Playlist:    • KATU Daily News Playlist   For more information, visit https://katu.com/ Have a news tip?
