Houston recently hosted its first World Cup soccer match, with Germany playing against Curaçao. The match resulted in a 7-1 win for Germany. The event took place amid a flood watch, and the stadium's retractable roof was closed during the game.

However, this did not prevent all fans from getting wet, as many were drenched on their way into the stadium. Further details about the match and its impact on attendees are available from Houston Public Media.
