“If you would have told me that Legion was coming to Birmingham 10 years ago I wouldn’t have believed you,” Chris Richards, a USMNT player from the Birmingham area, said. “That we have a team like [bhmlegion] shows that soccer is growing here.'
Back in Alabama after his star turn with the national team, Richards attended a match for hometown team Birmingham Legion. The club honored Richards at halftime with a tribute video and Richards signed autographs for fans. He might be a budding international soccer sensation, but Richards loves his hometown club and its commitment to bringing high-level pro soccer to Alabama.
“If you would have told me that Legion was coming to Birmingham 10 years ago I wouldn’t have believed you,” Richards said. “That we have a team like Legion in Birmingham shows that soccer is growing here. I think if the national team comes here they would be treated like hometown heroes. “It’s great to be a part of it,” Richards said. “We feel like we’re making history. People don’t just talk about the result. People talk about the way we play the game, and how much better we can be, so it’s great to be a part of this history, this culture, this brotherhood.
