Guys, I’m excited for this USMNT game

Christian Pulisic is calm and ready. The fate of the the entire US World Cup campaign is in his hands. No big deal.Guys, I’m really excited to see the US Men’s National Team, in person, for the very first time in my life.

My first ever international soccer match was during the 1994 World Cup, when Cameroon played Sweden at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. I was 17. I got to witness a World Cup Qualifier in 1997 when Israel played Russia in Tel Aviv, which was pretty cool, even if Israel was (is?) destined to miss the World Cup that cycle.

But rooting for your national team, on home soil, in your own city, at your club team’s stadium? And in a critical, nearly must-win game? That’s a bucket-list…
