No one is talking about the mentality you have to have to get brutally knocked out cold, pick yourself up, and press on to become a champion.

One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDNโT have to do to prepare for it.
Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts.
South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc.
Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects.
Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: โWeโre good.โ
Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it.

Whatโs better than a rare Super Delta formation featuring the Thunderbirds and the @USNavy Blue Angels over Washington, D.C.?
