Was the point to annoy all of Texas with the BBQ dig?
What dig?! Texas BBQ is great. All BBQ is great. Itâs just that Kansas Cityâs is better, in the opinion of this not-at-all biased native Kansas Citian.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Kansas City is gearing up for its second match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
On Saturday night, Ecuador and Curacao will square off at Kansas City Stadium for the second of six matches the venue will host. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. CT.
Ecuador qualified for the World Cup with a stout defense that helped them finish second in CONMEBOL qualifying. La Tri is led by Sebastian Beccacece, an Argentine coach who did not lead the team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Beccacece has turned Ecuador into an elite defensive team, with La Tri allowing just two goals during 12 qualifier matches under his leadership.
As soon as the first passengers from Curaçao cleared customs, the party started.
Armed with a portable speaker and tons of energy, fans from the island nation turned the Kansas City International Airport’s baggage claim into a welcome bash Friday afternoon – playing music, hugging and dancing.
“Being at the World Cup is a symbol of Curaçao actually announcing itself to the world,” said Gillord Pisas, who came to the airport to welcome the flight. He arrived in Kansas City from Curaçao two days ago. “We gotta make sure we bring who we are, authentically, everywhere we go. There’s no way you can let people from Curaçao come in and there’s no vibe.”

The 2026 World Cup is underway. We’ve got Ivory Coast vs Ecuador predictions for their Group E encounter on Monday, 15 June.
Ecuador haven’t been beaten in almost two years. That record is unlikely to end at Philadelphia Stadium.
All odds are courtesy of Tonybet, correct at the time of publishing and subject to change.
Ivory Coast return to the World Cup stage after missing the last two tournaments. They went unbeaten in their qualification journey and didn’t concede a single goal in 10 matches. A victory over France last week must have further boosted their confidence.
Ecuador have proven very difficult to beat. Brazil were the last team to defeat them back in September 2024. La Tri will be confident going into their opening fixture. Draws against Morocco and the Netherlands this year were solid results, and they have also recorded wins over Saudi Arabia and Guatemala.
