Group G is heating up, and this one’s got an underdog-upset written all over it. On June 15, Iran and New Zealand face off in a Monday-evening match that’s equal parts watch party and reason to finally use that Metro card no parking karma required.

SoFi Stadium hosts the action in Inglewood: kick off is at 6 p.m., which means you can leave Old Pas after work, hop the A Line to the SoFi area, and be in your seat before the first whistle still holding a cold beverage.

Bonus points for: grabbing dinner in Inglewood beforehand, or making it a full World Cup evening if you’re already out that way.

For the full Pasadena-area World Cup guide transit tips, parking, nearby eats visitpasadena.com has done the homework so you don’t have to. Go early, go loud, and let New Zealand surprise you.

Monday, June 15, kick off 6 p.m. PT. SoFi Stadium, 1001 Stadium Dr., Inglewood.
