All the Americans who call football (Or.. Soccer...) boring should watch this video. This is exactly why people love the sport. If they scored 50 goals per game, you wouldn't get reactions like this. It's not just about goals and winning. It's not all ups. The misses, the opponent scoring and the downs are just as important for building these moments. As a European it's so great to see the Americans getting more interested in the sport. :)
Gnawer Shreth Football is never boring, they rarely end in draws. Soccer in the other hand can get boring... 90+ minutes watching grown men chase a soccer ball back and fourth only to end up in a draw? It can be boring.... But either way, soccer is growing in the States and we will soon dominate it... like we dominate the Olympics. #PUN
JC D’vain But that's what people don't seem to get. A draw doesn't have to be boring. The thrill and anticipation can be there regardless. Exactly because a single goal can make the difference you'll see emotions from both sides even if one of the teams hit the crossbar or whatever. It's like you're always just a few inches from victory *and* defeat in football (the European kind). That's also why you can see one team acting like a draw is a victory at times while the other team may see it as a defeat. If one team dominates the entire game and only gets a draw they'll obviously not be very happy with themselves.
Casey Lewis Football isn't big in every country in the world, but I've never seen any other nationality dislike it to such a degree. They may not be fans of the sport, but they don't generally dislike it or mock it or whatever. They just don't watch it. ;) Besides, the only real reason I mention the Americans specifically is because the video is from USA and shows American fans.
Kevin Zavala your kidding right? Let’s just act like there aren’t about 10 or more team sports in the Olympics and that the majority of people in the United States could still absolutely care less about soccer 😂😂😂
Who says Americans aren't soccer-crazy?? People going nuts, beer flying in the air just as we do in the Netherlands, love it, love it, LOVE IT!!! You should have still been in the race for the World Cup, we'll try to kick Costa Rica out tonight for ya! Keep playing, you have a great team and come back stronger 4 years from now! Greetings from Amsterdam :-)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ORGASMIC!!! For me and many others the WC was won right there & then. In the end nailed Brazil as well and very proud to have become third! Hell..., we even feel better than the Argentinians do! lol
And how many of them have watched games without the US being involved? Probably not that many? I've seen almost every match though I admit that I haven't paid full attention to all of them. The only match I haven't seen at all was Ivory Coast vs Japan at 3 o'clock in the night ;-)
+165webb No soccer is a sport we can u its behind easily be use of our very small knowledge of individual players and clubs. You can't untie behind other sports as easily because of scandals and certain players. And plus the Olympics are usually highlighted by controversy, not the sports themselves
I really like the way the USA has started enjoying soccer... changing slowly from 1994, when most Americans didn't even know they were hosting a World Cup until the past World Cups (2010 and 2014) where you could see thousands and thousands of people supporting and going crazy about this noble sport! We'll miss you during this 2018 World Cup, guys... but I'm sure we'll meet again and again and again. Greetings from México!
I think the women’s world cup in 1999 was when we really began taking notice. MLS was made 3 years prior and then the WWC final between the US and China had one of the biggest crowds imaginable at the Rose Bowl Stadium.
It is the most popular sports in usa 🇺🇸⚽lol,only australian didn't care about soccer,Most american know and love the World Cup and they are support it.
Thanks, mate! Our fan base is growing stronger and stronger--now, if we can just get more of the money to go to soccer players instead of to the NFL, NBA, and MLB, we could attract more of our best and brightest athletes to play. As it is, they go where the fame and fortune is and it takes a true love of the game to woo them away from the glitz. It'll happen, but it's a long, slow, sometimes painful process watching US football try to catch up with the rest of the world....
I don't think we will win a World Cup anytime soon, but it's fun now that we're somewhat competitive. At least all of Europe won't make fun of us now XD
AuntieJanet We're still fairly new to the world cup scene it is getting more and more popular I don't see us winning but I do see us becoming a pretty strong team...
You're british huh? Well idk if you realized but y'all got them playrs but y'all cant even beat Costa Rica and advance from the group stage. You won the '66 because it was on your homeland and have been RUBBISH ever since.
AuntieJanet No one makes fun of you. The things you see on the internet whether that be about soccer or in general is a loud, rude minority of Europeans. We love you bros. Well played in the World Cup.
The beauty of soccer is that the "goal", its maximum expression, is sometimes so elusive, sometimes it looks so far away, that when it arrives in the most distressing moments, we see it so beautiful, like a work of art, it doesn't matter how it was achieved ...
I was at work listening to the game on my phone. I had to hold back from screaming in excitement when dempsey scored. I didnt see the first half on tv. But by the time i punched out to go home, it was halftime. Watched the entire second half on tv and went ballistic when brooks scored.
I am thee BIGGEST basketball/football fan that i know of but for some reason when i watch the mens national team win or score in the closing moments of the match i get more excited for futbol than any other sport. For some reason its on in futbol that i scream at the top of my lungs and jump up in the air when the mens national team wins a close game like the game Algeria Vs. USA or Ghana Vs. USA. i have really grown to LOVE FUTBOL.
It's not a mystery it is because of the suspense. That is what people from all around the world have been telling Americans for years. We like the fact that they dont score hundreds of points because if they did the game would be boring with no real meaning. I literally fall asleep watching some NBA games and never really get excited because because points are being scored every 20 seconds...
Read This yeah it was either Atlanta or Huston to support seeing Tennessee has no team yet but now when Nashville gets their team I'm scared that I won't be able to switch from Atlanta to Nashville
Vettefan83 i was in vietnam watching i was so loyal to them i woke up at 2:00 am just to watch when he scored i woked the whole house running around heck i even scared some bats
I remember being in a World of Beer in Orlando, FL and the atmosphere was absolutely electric after that Brooks goal. Everyone was jumping and hugging. Strangers and friends. I’ll never forget that, ever.
Its so awesome to watch this and see how much pride this country has! People are commenting that its just a game, why are people being so emotional but its not just game, just by watching this is proving that no matter what religion, race, or whatever you are, we are celebrating together as one country and its amazing to watch!
It happened on my 27th birthday. I remember that I was working a summer job at the time with very odd hours. I had an early morning (as in 3 a.m.) work shift that day, then watched the game later on. I couldn't do much for my birthday because I had those early shifts all week, but this was worth it.
I'm going back to the U.S. after 6 years living in south america and a shame that we're not in the 2018 world cup. I would've loved watching the U.S. play in the big screens
With due respect, I'm not certain you or anyone else wants any part of the US team in 2022 or 2026. The Americans have got an unbelievably talented and young squad. Like it or not, the USA is now a footballing nation. The best American players are cleaning up in Europe. MLS academies are producing phenomenal youth players - and an entertaining, well supported product on the pitch. The immediate future looks very, very bright for the Stars and Stripes. Traditional powers in Europe, South America and Africa had best pay attention. The Yanks are coming... and they mean to take over.
I was at the Fan Fest in Brasilia, I went to that WC but was unable to get tickets for that game. I was behind the goal where all the goals were scored in Nuremberg and this was sweet revenge!
Americans act like they hate "soccer" but once you give them a tiny taste of this beautiful sport they get hooked and start to love football as much as the love basketball baseball or even American football.
We don't really like soccer that much in my opinion. We like America and American sports. It's as simple as that. I'm not saying people don't like it, but there added value when it's the World Cup. I have plenty of examples, but my best one is probably the Olympics. Most Americans don't give 3 shits about half the sports in a vacuum, but if something like curling or table tennis is on, people will watch it because they want to see our country win. Granted most of the sports are really fun to watch, to me, I doubt the average person would tune in to it if it was just on TV. I'm not trying to say you're wrong, but I'm saying this is what I think the reason is for so many Americans watching the World Cup. And this is coming from an American who likes watching soccer.
anttiantti92 NASCAR probably has the most tho but you also have to consider television ratings because the basketball would probably have more same with hockey
Patrick Hemmig MLS has only been around for 20 years and the US national team has been making it to the World Cup and right now are doing quite well in the Copa America, so I think the US will be a powerhouse someday.
Hahaha it's funny to see them all go nuts to a goal scored by our "Herthaner" John Anthony Brooks! He's developed so much as a defender, and he's part of the 2nd best defence of the Bundesliga now and after almost 20 matches played, he stands at 3rd place with Hertha BSC right behind Borussia Dortmund and Bayern München. :-)
i remember being 7 years old on this night. i watched the game with my friend upstairs and we were jumping around and hugging each other and screaming. it was the best night of my life
i think before the next world cup starts, that the entire usa olympic hockey team from 1980 who won the gold should have a long pep talk to to the usa soccer team if usa qualifies
This was a huge goal! As big as Donovan's goal in 2010! We finally beat Ghana and advanced! I'm sad to see John Brooks is not playing currently. He is playing great on a Bundesliga side. No opportunity against Germany and Ghana in current friendlies smacks of a GGG problem.
It’s great to see a large group of other Americans that care about soccer even though in college station Texas I can tell they don’t care they just think they should but everywhere else it makes me feel in good company
Watching this video in 2018, not qualified for the World Cup this year really hurts. Knowing I have to wait another 4 years to experience this.. it hurts.
Such a great moment for USA sports. I was watching the game from Brazil, at a beach watch party that actually comes out on the clip. I'm not exactly sure how many USA fans were at that watch party, but it was absolute pandemonium.
USA. The World surrenders to You. We didn't know that you have the best supporters in Fotball also. Sorry, Soccer I meant. FINALLY you are in the family now. Welcome Home. GO USA regards from sissy europé. P.S. I Belive you will one day win the whole cup.
Keynen Broadnax hey me 2 my dream is to play pro one day but I wasn't born in the usa I came here when I was nine is it possible that I can play even though I was burn outside the US thxs in advance
mohamud mohamed You can definitely play pro if you put in the work I think I'm not sure about the usmnt though but since you've been here since you were nine you may be able!
swetomboy It's really heartwarming to see somebody outside our country give us credit. We really do love the sport, it's just taken a lot of time and some true dramatics at the last two WCs to get everybody on board
I wish you showed my reaction in Maidstone, Kent, England even though it was after midnight I was cheering, as quietly as possible so I didn't wake my wife in the next room! That was a great moment the USA lit up the world cup!
I remember how I watched the world cup, went to the Gym in the morning during the summer, came home, ate some pizza rolls and had chocolate milk and watched the games that were on lmao.
Feel for you bro. Ghana is alway so fun to watch and you deserve to go further. Never gonna forget the Uruguay game in 2010 :( Hope you make it to Russia next year!
I never really seen any sports unites countries like World Cup. Like even people who don’t watches MLS or club leagues will support their country in World Cup. I will be so upset if they don’t qualify again 2022. USA Come on!
This was the first World Cup game I ever went to. Was wearing my brand new Altidore jersey I bought just before going to Brazil annnnndddd he gets injured 20 minutes into the game.
I think football unites USA and gets them this high on emotion because they've never been elite at it. They're always underdogs so when the time comes everyone roots for them
The day Americans learn to properly use the word "World" meaning all countries and not the USA, may be its international image can start improving. Americans have grown up so used to expressions such as "world series..", "world championship.." and so on, referring to events entirely limited to the US, that they fail to see how terribly arrogant it sounds to the real entire WORLD.
Are you serious? We don't take the use of the word serious. I mean, even our cartoon characters say it..."I'll take over the world!!! Muhahahaha!... Really dude?...So are you mad we call it the "Super Bowl"? National Basketball Association? They're just names...stop giving them so much power and life will be so much better.
Luis valverde giron 1) Mexico is technically named, "United States of Mexico" so no there. 2) We call our selves America because we are the USA- A meaning America. It's Just a nickname 3) South America is a continent, so by your logic, Brazil and Peru are Americans as well. That is wrong, most people refer to the USA as Americans because we are the only COUNTRY in the world with the name America in it. It's our NATIONality, meaning that it refers to a Nation.
And does it ever occur to you that the best players of those sports around the WORLD usually want to come play in the US with the exception of soccer? So the sport I'd representing the best players across the world? Fucking dumb ass
Gotta congratulate the Americans for this. Finally they got rid of Ghana after 2 consecutive WCs losing against 'em. Overall, it was an average WC for Team USA, but we can't deny they put a great effort in every match.
yeah it was awesome when they got out of the group of death but the reason they lost was the uniform. They only won the game they had the awesome one on and they never won a game with the plain white one on lol
This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, to see this level of passion for a sport which isn't even played that much. The level of patriotism is overwhelming and I'm disappointed to say that has all but disappeared in my own country of the UK. They may not necessarily love football (soccer) but they love their country and this is incredible.
+IntellectualsAnonymous Soccer is actually really popular in america, I would say a good 60% of kids play growing up and high school soccer and college soccer are played at easily 80% of schools. When I was in high school, we had 200 kids try out for the team at a school of only 1000. There just isn't a lot of opportunity at the next level after college so players always stop there. Thanks for the support though!
JR Ramos Could be. You've got the right manager for it. Looking back the former champs, Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil...they all had a team, not just couple superstars.
We Brazilians always support the USA, in 2014 we supported every game and especially against Portugal. I still want to see this sport grow in the USA, it's good for the entire American continent (north, central and south)
I am covinced it is a good thing that americans start to get more into 'true football' not this perverted american version that is sport that just got one purpose. Lots of commercial breaks and some glimpses of sport to fill it up.
Both types of football are good so just cuz u dont like which u probably havent even seen a full game or played it doesnt mean nobody likes the american football
Ryan Wentland i watched a lot of games when i was kid/teenager, they showed it here in germany on free TV. but in retrospektive i don´t really know what i liked about it, i think it was the show around the game.i don´t know why americans are so obsessed about it, i suppose it is the same aspect in general.
All the Americans who call football (Or.. Soccer...) boring should watch this video. This is exactly why people love the sport. If they scored 50 goals per game, you wouldn't get reactions like this.

As a European it's so great to see the Americans getting more interested in the sport. :)

The Olympics don’t bring the US together like this though
John Morr I’ve seen bars with people watching figure skating
MiniDonut how can super bowl come every year? They never leave the US braaaa
MiniDonut
the Super Bowl divides every state and make groups of people's to compete against each other, it doesn't unite the US lmao
Still gives me chills watching all the fans that care and I was almost in tears when Brooks scored :')
Bro same
weak lmao
Came back to remember the good times. ... I'm devastated we can't experience this again next year.
Michael Farr I’m 13 and i almost cried my eyes out knowing that i will never see my country in the World Cup while I’m young
Man it's okay it happens . Amazing teams like Italy and Netherlands didn't qualify. I'm sure they will qualify in 2022
We have to wait an entire 8 years for the next chance. I had my flag and Jersey ready for the world cup....
watch the usnwt this year
Kevin Contreras 4*
I love it when so many Americans come together like this! I think the World Cup should be every 2 years! haha
well, there is UEFA and CONCACAF championships between those four years
sparkreno19 ya but that's not as popular in America as the World Cup.
well, at least they televise them
It probably would be if not for Euro... which is also fantastic. Ireland
Nothing compares to the World Cup.
Who says Americans aren't soccer-crazy?? People going nuts, beer flying in the air just as we do in the Netherlands, love it, love it, LOVE IT!!! You should have still been in the race for the World Cup, we'll try to kick Costa Rica out tonight for ya! Keep playing, you have a great team and come back stronger 4 years from now!
Greetings from Amsterdam :-)
How did it feel to beat spain? Lol
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, ORGASMIC!!! For me and many others the WC was won right there & then. In the end nailed Brazil as well and very proud to have become third! Hell..., we even feel better than the Argentinians do! lol

Braydon Iverson You're very welcome!

except like, maybe every other sport during the Olympics?
+165webb No soccer is a sport we can u its behind easily be use of our very small knowledge of individual players and clubs. You can't untie behind other sports as easily because of scandals and certain players. And plus the Olympics are usually highlighted by controversy, not the sports themselves

They love soccer ,they always support it
*Cheers! Here’s to United ‘26!*
So happy to see, even for non US. Hope soccer keeps growing in the states.
I've grew up watching soccer in US and trust me like theirs difference between popularity of sport in 2010 and 2016
Thanks, mate! Our fan base is growing stronger and stronger--now, if we can just get more of the money to go to soccer players instead of to the NFL, NBA, and MLB, we could attract more of our best and brightest athletes to play. As it is, they go where the fame and fortune is and it takes a true love of the game to woo them away from the glitz.

We love you bros. Well played in the World Cup.
AuntieJanet Football experts here in Brazil told the USA win a Cup in 30 years.
The beauty of soccer is that the "goal", its maximum expression, is sometimes so elusive, sometimes it looks so far away, that when it arrives in the most distressing moments, we see it so beautiful, like a work of art, it doesn't matter how it was achieved ...
Wow.. there's just something about seeing so many people give a positive energy all at once. Sends (good) chills down your spine.
It really is amazing how the game brings a whole country together, if only for a moment. That's why I'll always love the World Cup
watching brooks in total disbelief of what he just accomplished was as raw as any emotion of the teams win. what a moment, ill never forget it
I was at a different bar in Chattanooga. I’ve never felt so much joy watching a US National Team
I was at work listening to the game on my phone. I had to hold back from screaming in excitement when dempsey scored. I didnt see the first half on tv. But by the time i punched out to go home, it was halftime. Watched the entire second half on tv and went ballistic when brooks scored.

I'm Brazilian but I love the United States of America.

God bless you
We love you to love from the US
“He couldnt have dreamt that”
Except he said that he did in the post game interview. That’s just amazing.
My mom took me to watch the 2010 game in Nashville on a big screen and I was only 7 and from there that's how I began to love this beautiful game
Read This yeah it was either Atlanta or Huston to support seeing Tennessee has no team yet but now when Nashville gets their team I'm scared that I won't be able to switch from Atlanta to Nashville
Brings a tear to my eye, every time
Makes me cry and gives me goosebumps watching this.
Then you should watch the 2010 USA Algeria match. Talk about a heart stopper
I still have that match on my dvr, haha. It's the only thing I won't delete.
Ian Mullican
Benny Ramos Fuck off, its more then a game. You just dont understand
I love this video..
I swear I almost cried tears of joy when Brooks scored. #Ibelieve.
USA
Vettefan83 Same! USA USA USA!!
Vettefan83 i was in vietnam watching i was so loyal to them i woke up at 2:00 am just to watch when he scored i woked the whole house running around heck i even scared some bats
I remember being in a World of Beer in Orlando, FL and the atmosphere was absolutely electric after that Brooks goal. Everyone was jumping and hugging. Strangers and friends. I’ll never forget that, ever.
I'll never forget my friend jumping up and hitting his head on the ceiling fan!
I was in Vegas with my mom watching this game from our hotel room. I cried SO hard when we made this goal.
This fills my eyes with tears and my heart with joy. I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!!!
Its so awesome to watch this and see how much pride this country has! People are commenting that its just a game, why are people being so emotional but its not just game, just by watching this is proving that no matter what religion, race, or whatever you are, we are celebrating together as one country and its amazing to watch!
I love how futbol has grown in the states hopefully we can keep it up.
It's weird, I almost start to tear up when I see other countries reacting like this for the US winning
+Ryan Fitzgerald They're all Americans...
+Jack M Not all but most

+Ryan Fitzgerald uk its usa...they call it soccer which i find annoying as hell
+PinkYoshiCraft chill. Its a word

+Henrobole hey b0ss, ich bin auch hertha fan :-P
I remember that goal like it was yesterday. I always believe!!! Liverpool fan here in San Antonio. USA in cola 2016, watch out.
I'm going back to the U.S. after 6 years living in south america and a shame that we're not in the 2018 world cup. I would've loved watching the U.S. play in the big screens
Thank you for making this!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m so emotional watching and reliving this. Man, I need us in the next World Cup desperately.
7 years ago and still gives me chills
One of the proudest moments for me in this year
Love revisiting...I was at the game to see it live and have never cried from so much joy!
Chills all over again! #USA, USA!
Crazy how football connects the people even when is from a country that for ages has disliked the game
Am Ghanaian and I hope we end up in the same group 2022 in 🇶🇦Qatar...
With due respect, I'm not certain you or anyone else wants any part of the US team in 2022 or 2026. The Americans have got an unbelievably talented and young squad.
Like it or not, the USA is now a footballing nation. The best American players are cleaning up in Europe. MLS academies are producing phenomenal youth players - and an entertaining, well supported product on the pitch.
The immediate future looks very, very bright for the Stars and Stripes. Traditional powers in Europe, South America and Africa had best pay attention. The Yanks are coming... and they mean to take over.
@@kentgrady9226 he meant ghana and usa in the same group to play each other lol
I was at the Fan Fest in Brasilia, I went to that WC but was unable to get tickets for that game. I was behind the goal where all the goals were scored in Nuremberg and this was sweet revenge!
I remember when the announcer said "he couldn't even have dreamt it" and then John said in an interview "I dreamt I scored in the 81st minute" :D
Why do I cry everytime I watch this? So much happiness
Americans act like they hate "soccer" but once you give them a tiny taste of this beautiful sport they get hooked and start to love football as much as the love basketball baseball or even American football.
***** Wait what? Everytime I watch baseball there's pretty much nobody in the stadium, but NBA and especially NHL always seem to sell out.
***** Oh wow, guess I was wrong then. Well done for MLS to pass those two.
Right? They get a lot of seats per year because they have 160 games per team. Half the time it's empty. I don't get it too.
We don't really like soccer that much in my opinion. We like America and American sports. It's as simple as that. I'm not saying people don't like it, but there added value when it's the World Cup.

anttiantti92 NASCAR probably has the most tho but you also have to consider television ratings because the basketball would probably have more same with hockey
Video just brought me to tears...I love this country so much...keep fighting for unity USA!!!!!!!!!
Ah Man!! I cant wait from Russia 2018!!!! Soon MLS will be bigger than NFL in the U.S.A
Mark my words!!!
I hope you are right
+Docter Fishy mls is trash
Though it's considered a joke to other countries they need actual superstars like Messi or Ronaldo
Patrick Hemmig MLS has only been around for 20 years and the US national team has been making it to the World Cup and right now are doing quite well in the Copa America, so I think the US will be a powerhouse someday.
2 more years my friend and we'll take our fight to Russia.
haha yup...cant wait...you mean futbol right? or war? :P
Beautiful. I get goose bumps every time I watch this(:
Hahaha it's funny to see them all go nuts to a goal scored by our "Herthaner" John Anthony Brooks! He's developed so much as a defender, and he's part of the 2nd best defence of the Bundesliga now and after almost 20 matches played, he stands at 3rd place with Hertha BSC right behind Borussia Dortmund and Bayern München. :-)
+Kevin Twardawski "mit der nr 25 john anthony (Ostkurve:) BROOKS!!!!!"
i remember being 7 years old on this night. i watched the game with my friend upstairs and we were jumping around and hugging each other and screaming. it was the best night of my life
i think before the next world cup starts, that the entire usa olympic hockey team from 1980 who won the gold should have a long pep talk to to the usa soccer team if usa qualifies
This was a huge goal! As big as Donovan's goal in 2010! We finally beat Ghana and advanced! I'm sad to see John Brooks is not playing currently. He is playing great on a Bundesliga side. No opportunity against Germany and Ghana in current friendlies smacks of a GGG problem.
The best of those reactions has to be Taylor Twellman's squeak in the broadcast.
Ok so i wasn't the only one who noticed that?
Douglas Bailey
No you weren't and it was glorious.
I just paid attention to that...that was hilarious
It’s great to see a large group of other Americans that care about soccer even though in college station Texas I can tell they don’t care they just think they should but everywhere else it makes me feel in good company
No other sport can bring out this emotion
None!
You have fantastic fans who are not inferior to the others! Many greetings from the SV Waldhof-Mannheim-Germany
Watching this video in 2018, not qualified for the World Cup this year really hurts. Knowing I have to wait another 4 years to experience this.. it hurts.
Don’t have to wait much longer my brother!
I love it when you dont actually show the goal that everyone is reacting to. Solid!
why are people so nice in this comment section I love it
Such a great moment for USA sports. I was watching the game from Brazil, at a beach watch party that actually comes out on the clip. I'm not exactly sure how many USA fans were at that watch party, but it was absolute pandemonium.
USA. The World surrenders to You. We didn't know that you have the best supporters in Fotball also. Sorry, Soccer I meant.
FINALLY you are in the family now. Welcome Home. GO USA regards from sissy europé.
P.S. I Belive you will one day win the whole cup.
I love you :) Finally someone who doesn't hate the U.S
Incredibly up lifting I hope to raise our flag on the pitch one day just the dream gives me tears, thank you thank you thank you
Keynen Broadnax hey me 2 my dream is to play pro one day but I wasn't born in the usa I came here when I was nine is it possible that I can play even though I was burn outside the US thxs in advance
mohamud mohamed You can definitely play pro if you put in the work I think I'm not sure about the usmnt though but since you've been here since you were nine you may be able!
swetomboy It's really heartwarming to see somebody outside our country give us credit. We really do love the sport, it's just taken a lot of time and some true dramatics at the last two WCs to get everybody on board
I wish you showed my reaction in Maidstone, Kent, England even though it was after midnight I was cheering, as quietly as possible so I didn't wake my wife in the next room! That was a great moment the USA lit up the world cup!
Goosebumps to this day!
Imagine if we ever win a World Cup, that team will be immortalized forever, as an athlete, you couldn’t ask for more motivation.
I honestly can't handle all this freedom.
USA USA USA USA USA
Great, great video, Mr. Mortimer.
I remember how I watched the world cup, went to the Gym in the morning during the summer, came home, ate some pizza rolls and had chocolate milk and watched the games that were on lmao.
AppleJackGaming haha i love hearing everyones world cup stories. the world cup is awesome i love itt
chamakh2917 Whenever the US played my entire house was decked out in Red White and Blue even my dog XD
Basically exactly how I spent it!😂
MinecraftSheepGod Yess! Same!
MrYeetXI chocolate milk watching football jesus christ
I can only imagine this would be the reaction of the USA winning the World Cup and it makes me want to cry. Only if it came true I’d burst into tears.
I'm from Ghana :(
Well I'm from America :)
+Emily Crisp well so are 330 million other people Emily. Shut the fuck up please.
+Louis Dickson Um you didn't say that to that Ghana person? Calm down.
Ghana's still a good team. Dont worry.
Feel for you bro. Ghana is alway so fun to watch and you deserve to go further. Never gonna forget the Uruguay game in 2010 :(
Hope you make it to Russia next year!
I've watched this at least 20 times. Never gets old
Y eso señoras y señores, es la magia de este hermoso deporte
It’s 2020 and I still watch this. ❤️😩🇺🇸
I never really seen any sports unites countries like World Cup. Like even people who don’t watches MLS or club leagues will support their country in World Cup. I will be so upset if they don’t qualify again 2022. USA Come on!
We’re in a good position right now.
This was the first World Cup game I ever went to. Was wearing my brand new Altidore jersey I bought just before going to Brazil annnnndddd he gets injured 20 minutes into the game.
That was an AWESOME moment!! How TRAGIC that we've not advanced to Russia.
I think football unites USA and gets them this high on emotion because they've never been elite at it. They're always underdogs so when the time comes everyone roots for them
This is great
Sends chills down my spine everytime...
The day Americans learn to properly use the word "World" meaning all countries and not the USA, may be its international image can start improving. Americans have grown up so used to expressions such as "world series..", "world championship.." and so on, referring to events entirely limited to the US, that they fail to see how terribly arrogant it sounds to the real entire WORLD.
Are you serious? We don't take the use of the word serious. I mean, even our cartoon characters say it..."I'll take over the world!!! Muhahahaha!... Really dude?...So are you mad we call it the "Super Bowl"? National Basketball Association? They're just names...stop giving them so much power and life will be so much better.
and they're United States but they call theirselve America so maexico and south maerica aren't america?
Luis valverde giron
1) Mexico is technically named, "United States of Mexico" so no there.
2) We call our selves America because we are the USA- A meaning America. It's Just a nickname
3) South America is a continent, so by your logic, Brazil and Peru are Americans as well. That is wrong, most people refer to the USA as Americans because we are the only COUNTRY in the world with the name America in it. It's our NATIONality, meaning that it refers to a Nation.
Oh yes because English PREMIER league is so much better shut up you ignorant brit
And does it ever occur to you that the best players of those sports around the WORLD usually want to come play in the US with the exception of soccer? So the sport I'd representing the best players across the world? Fucking dumb ass
Damn our country was brought together by this sport. Now in 2018 when our country needed it the most it couldn’t happen...
Gotta congratulate the Americans for this. Finally they got rid of Ghana after 2 consecutive WCs losing against 'em.
Overall, it was an average WC for Team USA, but we can't deny they put a great effort in every match.
yeah it was awesome when they got out of the group of death but the reason they lost was the uniform. They only won the game they had the awesome one on and they never won a game with the plain white one on lol
MinecraftSheepGod
ahaha Wow, I had never noticed that.
This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, to see this level of passion for a sport which isn't even played that much. The level of patriotism is overwhelming and I'm disappointed to say that has all but disappeared in my own country of the UK. They may not necessarily love football (soccer) but they love their country and this is incredible.
+IntellectualsAnonymous Soccer is actually really popular in america, I would say a good 60% of kids play growing up and high school soccer and college soccer are played at easily 80% of schools. When I was in high school, we had 200 kids try out for the team at a school of only 1000. There just isn't a lot of opportunity at the next level after college so players always stop there. Thanks for the support though!
song??
One of the best vids on youtube.
If that don't give you goose bumps... USA
not even a little
Incredible game !! The whole USA came together ❤
Holy shit, since when americans are so crazy about soccer?
Sence we got good at it
...and since we got the likes of a Landon Donovan, a Clint Dempsey or a Tim Howard....
sadly we americans only give a shit about futbol during the world cup. but honestly, who doesn't? USA USA USA!
You should look up your local club. I'm a Rev fan. Part of the Army and the Rebellion
MANDY MIGGZ *Soccer. Only Spaniards and its cumshot-nations call it "Futbol".
It is impossible not to feel thrill to see how people celebrate.
We will win a World Cup very soon. I believe, GO TEAM USA!
come on... no they will not :)
JR Ramos As an American i see it happening before I die
JR Ramos Agreed. The World Cup will be lifted by powerful, proud American hands; in my lifetime!
JR Ramos Could be. You've got the right manager for it. Looking back the former champs, Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil...they all had a team, not just couple superstars.
Doubt it. The highest the USMNT ever finished in the World Cup was 3rd in 1930
No other sport could bring out such emotion like Soccer. Each goal made is like the shoot heard around the work all over again.
Carlos Perla Beautiful. Seriously. It's the truth. Soccer is the World's Game. Amazing
More like the USA reacts to Brooks header
We Brazilians always support the USA, in 2014 we supported every game and especially against Portugal. I still want to see this sport grow in the USA, it's good for the entire American continent (north, central and south)
I am covinced it is a good thing that americans start to get more into 'true football' not this perverted
american version that is sport that just got one purpose. Lots of commercial breaks and some glimpses of sport to fill it up.
So true! Especially on Super Bowl Sunday lol :>
Both types of football are good so just cuz u dont like which u probably havent even seen a full game or played it doesnt mean nobody likes the american football
Ryan Wentland
i watched a lot of games when i was kid/teenager, they showed it here in germany on free TV. but in retrospektive i don´t really know what i liked about it, i think it was the show around the game.i don´t know why americans are so obsessed about it, i suppose it is the same aspect in general.
Sam Legitman
you got some really impressive facts you come up with.nice research dude !
a bunch of sell outs, it gets me frustrated
beautiful to see people united versus divided as we are today...
Who said we don't care for soccer?
Football*
I love this! So sad we won't see this next year. I hope the US ccome back in '22!
I think everyone besides your own country was hoping Ghana would win.
***** yea defenitely
IamFonix Good. :)
mike nipples Oh look at this guy making Americans look even worse than they already are.
Dude watch your mouth Americans are amazing we have one of the best military in the world so yeah AMERICA OH YEAH
That's just we wanted.
Now our fearless leader GGG won’t let John Brooks play until he works on his game.
