USMNT Seeks Win at Lumen Field

Seattle’s Lumen Field is roaring back to life as the U.S. Men’s National Team takes on Australia in a high-stakes World Cup qualifier — the 11th time the USMNT has played in Washington, with a stellar 7-2-1 record. From the 1974 friendly loss to Poland to the 1976 artificial turf win over Canada, and the 2013 Panama thriller that birthed the “boom-boom-clap,” this stadium has been a launchpad for USMNT magic. With a crowd of 41,000 roaring them on, and the chance to leap to Group D’s top spot, this generation hopes to match the energy of the 2016 Copa América Centenario run — where Clint Dempsey and Gyasi Zardes lit up the field. The stage is set. The crowd is loud. The stakes? World Cup dreams. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
