The main event for your Monday is of course the USA vs. Belgium FIFA World Cup match, being played at 5 pm in Seattle, on many screens in West Seattle if you don’t have a ticket:
WEST SEATTLE WATCH PARTIES: Ounces (3809 Delridge Way SW) has been having watch parties for all the USA matches and invites you to join them tonight, doors open at 4 pm … Easy Street (4559 California SW) just ent word they’re having a watch party too:
Easy Street will have watch party, USA vs Belgium , kickoff at 5 pm. Good Society x Mystery Made x Easy Street beer will also be available! Custom brewed by Good Society owner and award winning brewer Nick Berger. Portugal vs Spain will also be shown earlier (noon).
We checked around and found others, as listed in our story from last night, but overall the question would seem to be more “who’s NOT watching?”
