ELITE row celebration from Norway after clinching the Round of 32 🇳🇴

Martin Ødegaard led the squad on the drum

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

For years, many Americans have been told that patriotism is something to apologize for.

Yet the World Cup has shown something very different.

Visitors aren’t arriving to lecture Americans about their values. They’re arriving excited to experience them. They want to see the landmarks, meet the people, enjoy the food, and be part of the atmosphere.

What many visitors have discovered is that America is far different from the negative picture often painted by critics.

They see hardworking families, thriving businesses, welcoming communities, and people who genuinely love their country.

They see a nation that remains one of the most diverse, innovative, and opportunity-filled places on Earth.

The scenes have been remarkable.

Fans from different countries celebrating together.

Families creating lifelong memories.

Local businesses benefiting from the economic activity.

Communities proudly showing off what makes their hometown special.

It’s a reminder that sports have a unique ability to bring people together while also showcasing the character of a nation.

America isn’t perfect. No country is.

But the World Cup has highlighted something important: millions of people around the world still dream of visiting the United States.

They still admire American culture.

They still appreciate American generosity.

They still recognize the freedoms and opportunities that have made this nation a destination for generations.

Perhaps that’s why so many visitors leave with a different perspective than the one they arrived with.

They discover that America is more than headlines and political arguments.

It’s the people.

It’s the communities.

It’s the traditions.

It’s the optimism.

It’s the belief that tomorrow can be better than today.

As the tournament continues, one thing has become increasingly clear.

The United States doesn’t need to convince the world that it’s a special place.

Millions of visitors are seeing it for themselves.

And judging by the smiles, the packed stadiums, and the stories being shared around the globe, many of them are loving every minute of it.

HERE IS A GREAT IDEA.

We are begging the people from other countries who came here for the games and who love this country to do the follow for us.

Could you find these disgruntled Americans who don't love America and offer to trade countries with them - The disgruntled are fairly easy to find - The malcontents usually have green hair - septum rings - a wild-eyed look about them and not groomed at all. You'll know who they are when you see them.

You'll find them talking about how oppressed they are - how awful it is to live in America and don't forget how racist we all are.

You from other countries now have your own opinions of America.

Just think about it - If you could get them to trade countries with you - there would be an abundance of ranch dressing and quite a few Buc-ees - and Walmarts waiting for your visit you haven't seen yet.

First time I’ve heard Tom MacDonald’s new song “Remember Who You Are”.

It sure sounds like a 2026 Summer Anthem if you ask me!

Great job Tom!

Everyone head to purchase if you can! 🇺🇸

Share this out let’s get this song to Number 1!

Dear England, We just wanted to make you aware; We have officially adopted the Scots. They are family now. We will be in touch to negotiate your visitation rights.

Signed, The Americans.

Thank you Weller Family Farms for having me! I loved every minute hanging out with you, your neighbors & friends, the cute kiddos, rabbits, kittens and sweet Darby ❤️

@SirBylHolte Based and I love ❤️ it, Bless you and all patriots like you. 🇺🇸

[Byl Holte @SirBylHolte]

I was born in 1961 IN AMERICA.

So my name is William Michael Holte, not Kwame Mensah, Kofi Asante, Kojo Owusu or Chinedu Nwosu.

I celebrate Independence Day, NOT JUNETEENTH.

I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.

I’m not AFRICAN-American, I’m AMERICAN.

I’m not a BLACK American, I’m an AMERICAN.

My loyalty belongs to America, not to any fake African identity.

My history is American history, not African history.

My colors are RED, WHITE, and BLUE - not red, black, and green.

My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.

My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.

My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."

I went to a white Catholic college, not an HBCU.

I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.

In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA.

I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.

My future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.

And my president is Donald J Trump, not anybody else.

Who's with me on this?

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
