I was at the Croatia and Argentina games. Harry has always been my favorite player but watching this England team, I fell in love with a heart of the three Lions. Loved all the moments and they are now my favorite team and will be rooting them on in the Euros 28 as well as the future World Cup! I hope they bring it home next time.
So after all the pre-tournament criticism, angst, and fearmongering (much done with anticipatory glee), the 2026 World Cup was a historic success. Incredible games, record crowds/viewers, and a cultural phenomenon. People were safe, entertained, and joyous. Visitors discovered, and Americans were reminded, just how wonderful our country is, all through the lens of soccer. Iβm so happy for, and proud of, my country. Best World Cup ever. Thank you, America. πΊπΈ
