England and Ghana are set to face off in a highly anticipated World Cup match at Boston Stadium. The game kicks off at 4 p.m., coinciding with rush hour, and commuters can expect a busy evening commute. The Commuter Rail is expected to be packed, and drivers should note the closure of Summer Street to accommodate riders at South Station.
Game Details
Summer Street will be fully closed in both directions from 5 a.m. until 6 p.m. between Purchase Street at Dewey Square and Dorchester Avenue. The I-93 southbound ramp to South Station will also be closed. The weather forecast indicates a possibility of rain around game time, so spectators are advised to dress accordingly.
The England team is a favorite to win the tournament, with many considering this the golden age of English soccer. Ghana, on the other hand, represents one of the best teams from Africa, having qualified for all but one World Cup since 2006. Their skill was on display during their 1-0 win over Panama.
