\u201cI think we look really good,\u201d said fan Tim Padgett.<\/p>\n

With Friday\u2019s win, Team USA secured a spot in the knockout round of 32 \u2014 a strong showing despite being without star Christian Pulisic, who is sidelined with a calf injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis ball skills are incredible, keeping him down the left side of the field, watching him do his magic is gonna be nice, so hopefully they save him for when we really need him,\u201d said Padgett.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Like so many around the world, Padgett has had this tournament marked on his calendar for years. <\/p>\n

His love for the sport sparked in 2002, when he watched a match live in Japan. <\/p>\n

\u201cI got to go to the quarterfinal game. That was my first live experience for World Cup. It was just the most incredible experience I had,\u201d said Padgett. \u201cI was just pulled in by that and ever since, I can\u2019t get away from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, business is booming at Agave and Vine at Ala Moana Center. The sports bar has even extended its hours, opening up early so fans can come watch the games.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the start of the FIFA Cup, everyone\u2019s been super excited,\u201d said Agave & Vine\u2019s Kirsten Tsukamoto. \u201cPeople are coming in early, especially because we\u2019re in the mall, so we have a lot of tourists that walk past. So if they\u2019re into football, soccer, they\u2019ll be like, \u2018Are you guys putting the game on?\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Now the middle of summer, Hawaii is a hot destination for international visitors, and local restaurants and bars are capitalizing on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest one is Japan, we have so many tourists that come in. They have all these big groups and they\u2019re so excited. Japanese people, they\u2019re so fun because they love to cheer, so it\u2019s very fun with them,\u201d said Tsukamoto.<\/p>\n

Padgett said, \u201cInternational experiences like this, the Olympics, World Cup, it really brings the world together.\u201d<\/p>\n
