KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lawrence, Kansas, the town that has adopted the Algerian national team during its FIFA 2026 World Cup run, was the place to be Monday night.
Playing in the final match of the day, Algeria found itself in an early hole against Jordan.
But two goals late in the second half pushed Algeria over the top.
Lawrence celebrated.
England, which calls Kansas City its base camp home, is in action at 3 p.m. today against Ghana from Boston Stadium. There are watch parties for that match.
Kansas City's other three base camp teams — Argentina, Netherlands and Algeria — should all be back in town, gearing up for their third and final group stage matches this weekend.
