Tuesday’s game had a crowd at Sundance Square of a few hundred who came to watch the game, with a strong mix between France and Spain fans.

Defender Pedro Porro put Spain up 2-0 in the 58th minute, and that resulted in more cheers from fans at Sundance Square. Spain ended up winning 2-0 to advance to the World Cup championship game.
Throughout the summer, fans have continued to pack Sundance Square to watch the matches, including Josh Mitchell, a fan from Bedford who went to Sundance Square multiple times during the World Cup.
“This is my third time coming for a game. I keep coming because of the atmosphere, energy and people out here for the game. It makes it a good place to watch it,” Mitchell said.
“My favorite part is the community that comes out for the games.”
Sundance Square will continue to host viewings as the World Cup finishes up. They will show the England vs. Argentina game on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.
