🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...

...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel

The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.

He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.

"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."

THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

20 World Cup goals. First player in FIFA World Cup history to score in 8 consecutive appearances. Six KO stage goals.

The one and only, Lionel Andrés Messi 🐐

Balogun with this huge goal the same week the Supreme Court strikes down Trump's order ending birthright citizenship

this still the greatest statistical anomaly I've seen, don't think any of LeBron's anomalies come close to this

[Kay💧 @Kaypoisson1]

While Ronaldo is stealing goals from Teammates like Bruno Fernandes because he wants to reach 1000 goals, Messi lets Otamendi takes penalty because it was Otamendi’s last game for Argentina at home.

This is why Otamendi goes to war for him. Respect is earned not given

[Michael Elgort @just_whatever]

This person in the video has built a regression model on Lionel Messi’s (@TeamMessi) longevity and scoring ability and according to it Messi is about 8 standard deviations away from the curve (8 sigma). It is so rare in one tailed probability that the chance for someone like Messi to appear in this world is 1 in 1.61 quadrillion meaning Messi is virtually impossible and mathematically infinitesimally rare

To understand how small a 1 in 1.61 quadrillion chance is, compare it to this: Powerball Jackpot gives you a chance of winning the lottery with roughly 1 in 292 million chance. You are about 5.5 million times more likely to win the Powerball jackpot on a single ticket than to see an 8-sigma event

For comparison you can see image with @Cristiano Ronaldo in the next post, who is also an outlier, but the chance of seeing someone like him is way more likely

“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

[Brown side is up @Brownsideisup]

Not gonna lie...seeing Euros say, "America isn't anything like we were told," has me gettin' a little misty.

To my fellow Americans, especially y'all down here in the South, thanks for proving that our greatest export has never been what's on TV.

It's always been our people.

any patriotism you see from me the next few weeks is strictly for sports and geography, NOT the government!!!!

[Josh Chavis @JoshChavis65]

So far this World Cup has been a great reminder that we make too many assumptions about one another, and that the vast majority of humanity is awesome.

It's been pretty damn refreshing, honestly.

[Footy with the Boys @FootyWTBoys]

After some careful review of hype videos I’ve decided the US 🇺🇸 is winning the whole thing

Paraguay first on the hit list 😤⚽️
