Happy 2026 World Cup Opening Day, fũtbol/soccer fans! The first two matches will take place on Thursday in the United States as Mexico and South Africa kick off at 3:00 ET, followed by a late-night match between Czechia and South Korea at 10:00 ET.
The World Cup being played in the United States will give fans something we have never seen before. Yes, the games have been played in the U.S. in the past, but in this current era of social media and coverage, we are seeing videos, reactions, and content that we have never imagined seeing.
One account on X is taking over social media with his travels in the South. Account FreddyLA7, known as Freddy, is a German fan who is in America for the very first time, exploring different states in the South. His videos are going viral as he is in peaceful, beautiful places, as well as attending an Argentina/Iceland Friendly ahead of the World Cup at Jordan-Hare Stadium, home of Auburn Football.

It really is awesome to see some Europeans fall in love with America. America hardly ever gets much praise from Europe, especially when it comes to sports. Seeing this fan’s journey through America, watching his favorite sport in places he’s never seen before, is truly what this is all about.
Freddy isn’t the only account sharing updates of a journey through America for the World Cup. There are lots of accounts doing this and giving different perspectives on the lead-up to the World Cup. Now that the tournament is here, the fun really begins.
