First pitch at The K now scheduled for 3:30. Wonder if we will see any rain at all during the anticipated 2 hour 20 minute weather delay?

World Cup fans are beyond what we're used to, as "Dr. Fandom"/Dan Wann, explains. Just the same, Kansas Citians could well develop an enduring attachment to WC teams/fans staying/playing here:

The legacy of a WWI Purple Heart honoree has come full circle at the KC FIFA Fan Fest on the grounds of the @TheWWImuseum, and the personal element animates the museum's purpose in a way that sometimes gets lost: kansascity.com/sports/spt-co…

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
