It was not what we were expecting at all…

At the World Cup opener in LA, a passionate fan from St. Louis (m_cat09) told us that if we ever passed through Missouri, we should definitely check out the Spanish Society during a Spain game. 

Despite the bus breaking down on us, we still found a way to make it to St. Louis and visit this incredible spot. At first, we didn’t know if anyone was there or if they’d be watching the game, but after finding a side entrance to the basement, we discovered a soccer treasure unlike anything we could’ve ever imagined. 

For almost a century, the Spanish Society has been a beacon for the sport in St. Louis, and we got to hang out with some incredible people and learn some amazing history! One of the highlights was chatting with Ty Keough, who once played with Hugo Sanchez and was even an analyst at the 2002 World Cup. His dad Harry was a legend himself too, playing for the USMNT at the 1950 World Cup and defeating England 1-0. 

Overall, this tight-knit World Cup party in a building just a few blocks away from the Mississippi River, felt like the perfect place to watch a game and learn about the impact that the Spanish community has had on St.Louis and American soccer for generations. This is a place you must definitely visit if you’re ever in town, especially for a Spain game!

Then, we closed out the day by hitting some other historic soccer spots around the city. It ended up being one of the best days on the road so far!
