KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City had a special day on Thursday with a match between the Netherlands and Tunisia and the massive Orange walk downtown. We'll spend Friday getting ready for Saturday's match between Algeria and Austria.
Depending on who you ask, yesterday's Orange Walk downtown drew between 22,000 and 35,000 people, with a mix of Dutch nationals, American tourists and locals.
Following the Netherlands soggy victory over Tunisia, Dutch fans lent their spirit and song to Team USA fans gathered at the Power and Light District.
