12:46 PM: The first of six FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in Seattle has just begun, and if you want to watch on a REALLY big screen, DNDA is hosting watch parties at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in North Delridge (4408 Delridge Way SW) for all of them. The first one is under way now (only one person there when we stopped in toward the start). As for the official match venue, with Belgium facing Egypt at Lumen Field (“Seattle Stadium”) downtown, all seems to be well.

2:37 PM: The match is over – final score, 1-1.
