Conejo Valley soccer fans watched the USA-Australia World Cup match over lunch on Friday

The USA took a big step towards winning their World Cup group as they beat Australia.

It was hard to tell whether sportsbar-goers were more interested in the World Cup or what was for lunch, but that could have had something to do with the noon kickoff time in the USA game against Australia. These fans in Thousand Oaks were doing a bit of both!

It made for a good natured and low-key atmosphere as USA and Australia fans mingled in bars showing the game, which saw the USA dominate Australia and secure a 2-0 win in Seattle.

That puts the USA through to the knockout stage of the competition, with one game still left to play in their group: Thursday, June 25 against Turkiye.
