Folarin Balogun’s Nigerian parents were living in London when they took a trip to New York in the summer of 2001.
When it was time to fly home, airline staff refused to let his mom board the flight because she was heavily pregnant.
3 days later, on July 3rd 2001: Balogun was born in Brooklyn, New York.
That “inconvenience” accidentally made him eligible to play for the USMNT.
Now he’s their striker at a home World Cup 🇺🇸

Yeah that’s literally how America was founded bozo, welcome to humanity’s melting pot😭✌️✌️✌️✌️
The most ironic thing abt all these maps is that people don't include Alaska as part of the US. But these same people would chastise Americans for not being able to "point out this country on a map"
>Mexicans booed the USA flag at their World Cuo opening ceremony
>Canadians booed the USA flag at their World Cup opening ceremony
>Americans cheered both the Canada and Mexico flag at their opening ceremony
Keep in mind. This World Cup will bring in a lot of Americans who may never have watched ⚽️ & don't understand it at all. They might say stupid things. This will make us look uneducated.
We gotta be patient & welcome them. ⚽️ will only grow if we bring newbies into the tent. Educate them kindly.
Jayden Daniels & Terry McLaurin were healthy enough last season to play just 5 (five) days together
they didn't play a single full game together after September 11
