U.S. Men's National Team players answer rapid fire questions ahead of the World Cup

We're going to do a couple rapid fire more fun questions if you're good with that.

>> Yep.

>> Soccer or football?

>> I I mean I have I feel like I have to say soccer, but it's I think just cuz I've been in Europe for pretty long now, it's football.

>> Soccer.

>> Um soccer.

>> I'd say football.

>> Soccer soccer.

>> Football for me, yeah. But if we win the World Cup, I'll call it soccer forever.

>> What is the best piece of advice a coach has ever given you?

>> To when you it's when you're in your like kind of lowest like moment of confidence to just kind of revert back to the simple aspects of the game and not try to overcomplicate it.

>> Best one's probably been just go out there and have fun.

You know, I feel like sometimes you're just so focused on, you know, everything you do on the pitch, off the pitch, so you forget to have fun, but you know, that's the reason why we started, so can't really forget to have fun.

>> You know, you never know when it's going to be your last game, so always play, you know, like it's your last game.

>> Any coach that lets the player just be themselves, I think that's the biggest thing.

As long as you know, I get to be myself and go out there and, you know, not try to be someone I'm not and and be myself, I think that's when I feel my best.

>> Take a chance.

Just be able to take a chance and be able to, you know, uh bet on yourself.

>> What is your pre-match ritual or superstition that you do every time?

>> Pre-match superstition, I'm not I'm not very superstitious I'd say. I like to do a couple things, but I probably say um I like to read before games.

>> Always do a little walk, little coffee walk. That that that's kind of me, you know? I sometimes do it with the players on the team, but that's me. Always a coffee walk just to, you know, get everything out the legs and just be able to relax, and headphones in if I need, you know, just to be able to enjoy the atmosphere.

>> I'll have a grande dark roast red eye, so it's like a like a black coffee with a double espresso inside, and you know, that kind of always gets me going.

>> You got to have it every time?

>> Every time. Yeah, I'm not missing to for sure. No, I to stay pretty you know, neutral away from them things

just because if I wasn't able to do my pre-match ritual then I don't want to go into a game thinking I've already screwed it before I started, but the most important thing for me is just to have a nap.

>> The only thing I'd say is a bit of a kind of ritual now is my my shin guards have like a picture of my daughters on and I always give that a kiss before I put them on.

>> What's your favorite fan chant?

>> Ole ole ole.

>> That's my favorite one. That's the most catchy one for me.

>> I'll probably say my song that leads uh the American boy song.

>> I I like the thunderclap before the games before the game starts. I think that's cool.

>> I just like I just like the crowd making noises and you know, supporting us.

>> Probably the one where they go like you.

Yes. Hey, that one's That one's good. That one's good.

>> That one gets you hyped?

>> That one gets me hyped.

>> And last one, if you had 10 seconds to tell someone why they should watch the World Cup this summer, what would you say?

>> I would say because it's the best sporting ex- uh experience in the world, I think. You know, everybody tunes in from all over the world for a reason because I think, you know, the games are super exciting. The level of play is super super high and I think, you know, everybody gives their all for their country. So, I think it's really special to watch.

>> I'd say because you've got a squad of 26 boys who are going to want to come together and give absolutely everything to put on a show, put on a fight, and go and lift the best trophy in the world.

>> Support us.

Uh we're doing it for our country and you know, we won't fail.

>> It's the biggest sporting event in history, you know,

>> in the world in history, so I think

you know, if you're not into into football soccer, you know, I think you should definitely give it a try because this is going to be, you know, in America in front of the American people,

you know, so I think um if you don't like it now, I don't think you'll ever like it.

>> Because you're going to see a group of 26 guys giving it everything they can for their country. Um leaving it all out there and you know, a group of 26 guys that's going to compete to the last whistle and you know, go out there and do everything to make their country proud.

>> The environment, the atmosphere, you're never going to experience anything like that in life. It's the biggest tournament in the world, you know? Why not enjoy it with the different cultures you're going to see, you know, everywhere? Just be able to enjoy it all and and be able to just grasp everything and and enjoy the moment.
