While the Los Angeles Rams are enjoying their break away from football, their home stadium remains in full use as SoFi Stadium is one of several venues hosting the FIFA World Cup. During the international tournament, SoFi Stadium has served as the home for two games featuring the United States Men’s National Team, as well as Thursday’s contest between Spain and Austria.
Both teams advanced from the group stage, meeting in the opening round of the World Cup’s knockout round. In the single-elimination game, Spain, the current European Champions, flew right past the Austrians on their way to a 3-0 victory.
In attendance for the contest was Rams head coach Sean McVay. McVay, who recently enjoyed a vacation that was captured via social media, is back in Los Angeles and has now joined several other members of the organization who are enjoying the tournament.

McVay has remained close to the soccer scene, forming a close relationship with Mikel Arteta. Arteta is the manager of English soccer club Arsenal. Arsenal won the English Premier League last season and were the runners-up in the Champions League. Arsenal and the Rams are owned by Stan Kroenke.
