They tried…
Yes, the team members were actually ‘named’ in 2022, and did get at least some chances to play together. The US soccer team made it to the quarter finals, but Belgium beat them 4-1 last night, ending the fairy tale run.
The US team played their hearts out, to do something special for our 250th year. It didn’t happen, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. They never gave up, and, if nothing else, I think they’ve made most Americans proud of what they did accomplish.
I know my grandson was excited to see them playing on the world stage, as he plays soccer out in California.
Yeah, they did give up. They were mentally unprepared to play a team they’ve never beaten in front of a home crowd. Roger Young would not have been pleased.
