The United States soccer team captivated the nation with its brief World Cup run.
A a fan waits for the start of the World Cup round of 16 soccer match between the Netherlands and the United States, at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar, Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022. – The bald man came dressed head-to-toe in full American spirit. A red, white and blue bandana, stars and stripes mismatched socks, shorts that might have been swimming trunks suited for a summer barbeque.
The currently unemployed Chicago resident was supposed to be searching for cybersecurity work during his downtime in Doha, but he's been having far too much fun chanting “USA!” and singing “When the Yanks Come Marching In” for all the American fans. Even before “And that's America, right?” Labas posited. “Different backgrounds, different people all come together for a single purpose, and that's one of the things that bonds this team. I mean, I'm with two guys from different parts of Florida, one guy from Minneapolis, I'm from Chicago, and we're rooming together in Qatar. We've spent the last 2½ weeks together just loving life and loving this team.
The United States failed to qualify for the World Cup four years ago, so much of its 26-man squad had never before experienced such American pride. They received messages from their former hometowns, learned of pauses on classwork so students could watch their matches, and saw social media posts from watch parties around the United States.
