On this ride together.

Just ran into Katie Wilson walking around Pioneer Square with a few high level city staffers, out for a stroll to experience the city on a Saturday morning.

This is very cool and certainly something I’d like to see more of but was told the march was 2x the size of Sounders’. Twice as big as an average march? Absolutely. But this seems smaller than the ao marches in 2013 and 16, as well as big games for Sounders. www.instagram.com/reel/DZxpS_s...

yeah that would've made me emotional if I was there www.youtube.com/shorts/fWmfm...

START ROLDAN AGAINST TURKEYE POCH

USA wins their group!!! They’re on their way to San Jose (airport)

Italy must be really bad.

In case you’re wondering if Australian fans are deflated, they’re currently singing with American fans about Donald Trump being a sex offender in the bar.

This is so fucking pathetic.

Great crowd in Seattle! 💚 💚 #usmnt

Nearly double the effect of Monday’s goals

The big flags continue to be awesome

When the watch party has a watch party. #Seattle @sounderatheart.com @soundersfc.com

This is the crowd watching the screens at the far end of the pier & barge during the first half. #Seattle @soundersfc.com

Cristian Roldan on atmosphere: ‘it feels like a final. When you think about Champions League final, when you think about League's Cup final, today was an example of one of the biggest games that Seattle will ever have.’ Added players are excited about potentially coming back for Round of 16.

Clearest the

Marshawn Lynch showed up on a Line bike & I feel for the horses...

Anyone see photos of March? I guess it took different route. Looked like massive crowd at start.

Pochettino on Freeman, after shouting out Orlando City and Oscar Pareja: "He has potential to be one of the best players in his position in the world."

Tons of people riding bikeshare and scootershare around Seattle today. We reported on Lime's preparation for World Cup crowds. www.theurbanist.org/lime-readies...

Today's USA v AUS attendance of 66,925 ranks #6 all-time for soccer in PNW. Top 5 all Sounders matches, topped by Leagues Cup final, MLS Cup final and Concacaf CL final.

FIRST GOAL USA! #USMNT is up 1-0 after an Australia own goal off Folarin Balogun's cross. Here's the seismogram of the Seattle Stadium crowd reaction on PNSN's HWK5 station. #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup #SportsSeismology

That’s a murder on live televsion.

Look at these drone shots. Look at this atmosphere. You’re telling me you want to leave it for Renton?!? GTFO.

Honestly never seen a scene like this outside lumen. Absolutely electric.

Bad news: street preachers definitely here Good news: no one can here them

Line outside victory hall already stretching around block.

Marlboro red for the occasion. @scuffed.bsky.social knows how to throw a party.

Without hyperbole I fully expect today to be a religious experience

Seattle Is Dying folks are getting absolutely mogged today. Look around, look at all of this. It’s so beautiful.

This will go well

@jeremiah.sounderatheart.com they at least doubled the number of busses into the city this morning And it's still over 80% full

With Pulisic still in limbo, the question of who can fill that attacking void is more pressing than ever. Poch may have already found his guy, though. In the second half against Paraguay, Tillman made a pretty convincing case as to why he should be the understudy. On an often overlooked player:

Observations from my ride to stadium before 8: - pier 62 was pretty much full - victory hall already packed with aussies - pioneer square buzzing - Griffey statue decked out in USA stripes

Yeah I got nothing on that Qatar passing network

We here

Feels pretty inevitable that Friday will be the most watched us soccer game in history awfulannouncing.com/soccer/world...

See you soon, CR! 🤩 🎥: USMNT

Folks if you haven’t heard, Pike Place is doing a night market this Thursday!! The street will be fully closed (emergency vehicles only) from 5pm to 10. Tons of businesses are participating—I’ll be peddling books at Lamplight. Come hang out, grab some food, say hi! 😃🌃

Lights rail notes: - Monday's lines were purposeful to prevent over-crowding, allow for orderly boarding - Trains also sent away half full to allow for passengers to board at later stations - Pedestrian zone in Pioneer Square will be all day Friday www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

This a couple weeks after protesters held "bikes will not replace us” signs in Seattle.

"Activities such as speeding, walking a dog not on a leash, or fishing without a valid license may now serve as the basis for the government filing a civil denaturalization complaint in federal courts." From new TRAC report on rising denaturalizations. tracreports.org/reports/774/

Just now noticing that the media tribune seats at BMO Field are considerably better than the press box.

Sound Transit says the first FIFA Men's World Cup game in Seattle on Monday led to 210,000 light rail boardings, a number that gets close to the ridership records set during the Super Bowl parade on February 11 and marks the third busiest day in the agency's history.

Paul Arriola on watching the World Cup: "I did not expect to be inspired like I am right now." He said that's partly because of the time that's passed since he was among the last cuts in 2022, but also because of how well the USMNT has played.

“I think that you have the right as a player to believe and say whatever you want. But you have to take a broader look at the city you’re playing in. What makes San Francisco so great is the acceptance of others — ethnicities, opinions, cultures — and that extends to the gay community."
