World Cup U.S. vs. Belgium match: Where to watch across Southland

From Disneyland to Redondo Beach, outdoor viewing parties have been scheduled for Tuesday’s World Cup knockout game at 1 p.m. between the U.S. and Belgium.

In Anaheim, Disneyland officials plan to have a 10-foot by 16-foot outdoor LED screen at the Downtown Disney in the Resort District area. Officials say that fans can also watch the games at the nearby ESPN Zone.

In Long Beach, a viewing party will take place on Pine Avenue, between Third Street and Broadway. The daylong event, hosted by the Downtown Long Beach Associates, will begin at 9 a.m. with a large LED screen showing both of Tuesday’s games.

Organizers say the event will include live music and DJs entertaining the crowd in between games. Businesses along Pine Avenue will also offer discounts and other special offers.

This is Long Beach’s first viewing party.

The Los Angeles Galaxy will host its fourth World Cup viewing party, this time at Veterans’ Park in Redondo Beach. The event is free to the public, but organizers say eager fans should plan to arrive by 11 a.m.

The winner of Tuesday’s high-stakes game will advance to the quarterfinals to take on the winner of the Argentina-Switzerland game, scheduled to start about 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Elated U.S. soccer fans will either watch their team be eliminated from the tournament or see them reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.

Additionally, U.S. Forward Jozy Altidore may finally return to the field since he strained his left hamstring midway through the first half of the U.S. team’s opening win over Ghana on June 16.
