We have now one thing that simply would possibly make your day, weekend, or month, relying on how issues are moving into your life.

Yeah OK, it’s slightly staged, however I’m a sucker for this ESPN video that accompanied the announcement of the USMNT roster for the World Cup yesterday. You possibly can lose sight that that is fairly merely, the accomplishment of all these gamers’ lives and the enormity of it.

Weston McKennie, who was a lock to make this roster for 2 years or so now and should’ve recognized, nonetheless can’t fairly come to phrases with being informed his dream has come true.

Josh Sargent, who should’ve thought his probability had gone with all of the squads he didn’t make throughout qualifying, should be paralyzed with shock and elation.

Jordan Morris, who has blown out a knee twice and had one which value him a transfer to Europe, is clearly overcome. They in all probability informed him throughout what’s an excruciating rehab that every one the work was for this, however did he actually imagine it on the time?

We think we know what it means to these guys, or that we care more than they do. But we can’t really. Anyway, I just like unchecked happiness.
