Why this matters in The Trophy Club
With Argentina's group stage dominance already secured, Saturday's match against Jordan at Dallas Stadium will be more of a celebratory affair, allowing local fans one last chance to see Lionel Messi in action before he heads to Miami for the knockout round. The fact that Messi became the World Cup's all-time leading goalscorer on Monday at the same stadium will only add to the excitement, as fans will be eager to witness more history in the making. The economic impact of hosting World Cup games in the Dallas-Fort Worth area will also be worth watching, as the influx of international visitors and soccer enthusiasts is likely to boost local businesses and hotels. As the World Cup moves on to other cities, Trophy Club residents can take pride in having played host to a piece of soccer history, and look forward to seeing how the tournament unfolds in the coming weeks.
