Anyone in downtown Hamilton on Friday afternoon can catch the big World Cup matchup between the U.S. Men’s National Team take on England.

Chatterbox Sports is planning to set up a big screen at Marcum Park on Dayton Street for people to watch the 2 p.m. game. The USMNT tied Wales in their first match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup being played in Qatar.

Friday’s weather is expected to be cool, with a high of 52 degrees under partly cloudy skies and a slight breeze.

The teams participating in this year’s World Cup are in group play, and the U.S. team is in Group B with Wales, England, and Iran. The top two teams in each group advance to the next round, a 16-team single-game elimination bracket.

The screen was at Hamilton’s Urban Backyard for baseball games over the summer:
