Why Reno Public Market Is the Place to Watch It

Reno Public Market has been Reno's Soccer Watch Party Headquarters all tournament long, in partnership with Reno Pro Soccer. From the opening match in June through the knockout rounds, the Market has been the spot where Reno's soccer community has gathered, and the atmosphere has been electric. When the USA played, the whole building was on its feet.

Matches are shown on the large screen above the main stage, which means you are not squinting at a TV in the corner. You are watching with a crowd, with sound, with everyone reacting at once. That is the part you cannot get at home.

And because this is a food hall and not a sports bar, you are not stuck with one menu. You have more than a dozen local vendors around you, a full range of drinks, room for groups, and space for families. Everyone in your crew can eat what they actually want, which makes a noon kickoff on a Sunday very easy to say yes to.

Spain vs Argentina: Why This Final Is a Big Deal

This is not an ordinary final, even by World Cup standards.

It is the first time the reigning European and South American champions have ever met in a World Cup final, and the first competitive match between Spain and Argentina since 1966.

Argentina are the defending champions, chasing a fourth World Cup title after wins in 1978, 1986 and 2022. A win would make them the first team since 1962 to go back to back. Spain are chasing their second star, having won their only title in 2010.

Then there is Lionel Messi. He becomes just the second player in history to appear in three separate World Cup finals, and he assisted both goals in Argentina's semifinal comeback against England. Whatever happens Sunday, this is a moment people will be talking about for a long time.

How Both Teams Got Here

Spain knocked out Portugal in the round of 16, beat Belgium in the quarterfinals, then ended tournament favorite France with a 2-0 win in the semifinal.

Argentina got past Egypt and Switzerland, then delivered the drama of the tournament against England. Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute, Enzo Fernández equalized in the 85th, and Lautaro Martínez scored the winner in the second minute of stoppage time.

Two teams playing their best football at exactly the right moment. This should be a good one.

Do Not Miss the Halftime Show

Here is a first: this year's final has a halftime show, the first in World Cup history. Chris Martin of Coldplay curated the show, which is headlined by Madonna, Shakira, BTS and Justin Bieber, with Post Malone also announced and Jennifer Hudson performing the US national anthem pregame.

Translation: there is no dead time in this one. Stay in your seat, grab another round, and enjoy the whole thing.

The USA Is Out. Watch Anyway.

Team USA's run ended in the round of 16, and yes, that stings. But the final is still the biggest single match in world sport, and Reno has shown up for this tournament in a big way regardless of who is playing.

Spain and Argentina both carry huge followings here. Whether you are pulling for La Roja, La Albiceleste, or you just want to be in the room when a World Cup is decided, this is the last chance for four years to watch a final live with a crowd. The Spanish language broadcast is on Telemundo if that is your preference.

Come wear your colors.
