Monday night, in primetime, the @USMNT plays Belgium for a place in the World Cup quarterfinals.

It’s one of the biggest matches in modern U.S. soccer history.

If you can, please watch and share U.S. Against the World this weekend.

Our hope has always been simple: that as many people as possible would get to know these remarkable young men before cheering them on.

They’ve made the country proud. They deserve every bit of our support 🇺🇸

@tewarren @ParkStories 🙏🏼🙏🏼 appreciate you T! sending blessings!

When we started @ParkStories, I didn’t want a website until “the work spoke for itself.”

Nearly a decade later, our new site is a gallery of the films, series and people we’ve poured so much into. Seeing it all together means a lot to us.

Proud of what we’ve built -- even more ambitious about what we’re going to create next.

And a massive thank you to the architect of our new site, @andygreavsie.

One of our longest-term collaborators and an incredible creative partner over the years.

We really appreciate you Andy 🙏🏼🙏🏼

The sports documentary market getting more selective is healthy.

A big name can get people to press play. What filmmakers do with the access is what earns the audience.

Appreciate @AustinKarp’s thoughtful look at where the business is headed.

@katenorum @USMNT they're awesome and definitely deserve to have their story told the right way. hopefully someone documents that ride too 🙏🏼

[Rand Getlin @RandGetlin]

Wanted to take a day to gather my thoughts.

Obviously, it was a gut punch to see the @USMNT’s World Cup ride come to an end Monday night.

But if you enjoyed this run and want to see soccer keep growing in this country, the answer is pretty simple:

Support our guys even more.

@MediocritesIAm know it doesn't feel good right now, and still a lot of work to do to get to where we want to be from a competitive standpoint, but our job is to zoom out, and what we experienced over the last month as a country was really special. what comes next will be too 🙏🏼
