USMNT GOAL REACTION THREAD 🧵
Something has shifted in American soccer culture.
The entire country is supporting the @USMNT.
Massive crowds are gathering in every single city to cheer on the red, white, and blue.

But they forgot to carry the USA, divide by FREEDOM, multiply by AMERICA, and subtract all their confidence.
The numbers don’t lie… and they spell DISASTER for Bosnia.
🇺🇸 HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME! 🇺🇸
