The next generation of soccer fans in America will embrace the world's game because of this 2022 USMNT team.
Assuming you’re reading this in the year 2034, all you have ever known is the United States as a soccer utopia. It wasn’t always this way. But a dozen years earlier, when your father and his buddies on the U.S. men’s national team went to the World Cup in Qatar, they changed the trajectory of American sports.
We won’t go crazy here and say that Papa Pulisic birthed soccer in this country. Allegedly, the game has kind of always been around these parts and even existed, in some form, way back in. But for decades, while we might have flirted with the idea of soccer, played footsie with it every four years or so, impulsively splurged on a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey and wore it to brunch while watching — what team does he play for again? — we never truly embraced the game.
Let’s stop for a second and say we’re happy you’re here, kid. We feared that you might never exist. Or that you would be born with the imprint of an Iranian goalkeeper’s knee on your forehead. That’s because in the final group stage match against Iran, the most important U.S. men’s national team competition in almost a decade,to score the Goal That Saved America. There was a collision, a very painful one, between your pops and the keeper. They said your dad had “a pelvic contusion.” But we saw the video, champ. And let’s just say, the below-the-belt blow had us cringing over the future of the Pulisic family jewels.
