Mike Magee credits USWNT with inspiring his daughter, goes viral

The morning after the U.S. Women’s National Team took home their fourth World Cup trophy, Mike Magee couldn’t help but notice an observation about his daughter and decided to tweet about it.

“I’ve tried every trick in the book to get my daughter to play soccer” the former LA Galaxy attacker wrote. “Never pushed her but she simply didn’t want to play. She’s out kicking a ball against the wall by herself. Not because of me. Because of you @USWNT. Thank you.”

We can relate, and apparently so did a lot of others.
