A strong statement from USMNT star WMckennie who spoke exclusively to us ahead of the FIFAWorldCup and England vs USA game!🏆 WorldcupQatar2022
My mindset when I decided to move to Europe to pursue my professional soccer career, rather than going to college or signing in America, was that I have an A plan, but I don't have a B or C plan. That's the mentality I have in football and life in general. I'm headstrong.
We want to go into the group stage with England, Wales, and Iran thinking we can win it and we want to finish top. Everyone who knows soccer knows that at any game, anything can happen. We're not expecting anything else but a dog fight, so we're excited. Me and Tyler have kind of a similar role and style of play. Christian was my first friend on the national team when I was 13 years old, so we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, we know which shows we like to watch and what foods we like to eat. We have a really good understanding, on and off the pitch.
I love to come home and try to play piano, or I go downstairs to my studio and make music or play card games. Whenever I can do other things and keep my mind off soccer, it makes me realize how much I miss it. If we perform well in this World Cup, Major League Soccer could be a totally different league by the 2026 tournament, when the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. Maybe not top five in the world, but I believe it will make huge steps forward.
