Kansas City, MO – About 500 soccer fans filled the pavilion next to Arrowhead stadium today to watch the United States 2 to 1 loss to Ghana in the World Cup. As a result of the loss, the US is out of the competition. The Kansas City Wizards hosted the viewing party they say it was one of the largest in the United States. KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross was there.
