The club teams they represent span 10 leagues around the world\u2019s game.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2038\">Fireworks, heat, hot dogs, and politics: America celebrates its 250th birthday<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>They are not the same, in many ways. But they are American, and that never feels more true than on the Fourth of July.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>This time, it isn\u2019t just the nation\u2019s Independence Day. It\u2019s the first one since 1994 in which the U.S. men are active in a World Cup. And like that one, it happens to be on their own soil.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cIt is special,\u201d centerback and team captain Tim Ream said. \u201cIt\u2019s double-special because it\u2019s during the World Cup, and triple-special because it\u2019s here in the U.S.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The St. Louis native then made a point of highlighting his belief that the team\u2019s diversity is a strength.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve said this: With all our different backgrounds, where we all have grown up, it\u2019s a true representation of what America is,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a melting pot of personalities, of characters, and, like I said, it\u2019s a perfect representation of what the U.S. is and what it\u2019s about.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Ream has even seen manager Mauricio Pochettino, a fiercely proud Argentina native, embrace the national spirit.<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cHe\u2019s obviously taken to the culture, and at the same time, has added his bit of culture to us as well,\u201d Ream said, which makes Pochettino the latest of many Argentines to do that in this country. From players and coaches to broadcasters like Telemundo\u2019s famed Andr\u00e9s Cantor, the country has a long history of sharing its passion \u2014 and immigrants \u2014 with the U.S.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cAs he said after the first here in Seattle [the U.S.\u2019s group stage win over Australia], he felt something with \u2018Country Roads\u2019 being played and blasted through the stadium [postgame],\u201d Ream said. \u201cThe group is such a melting pot [with] staff, players, and, again, it\u2019s just an incredible representation of who we are as people. But, yeah, he definitely won\u2019t let us forget that he\u2019s still Argentine at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><p>Ream has lived the holiday in multiple ways, too. When he played in England from 2012 to 2024, he spent some Fourths over there instead of over here. Then the now-38-year-old returned to MLS to join Charlotte FC, where he\u2019s now in his third season.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2036\">Fireworks come a day early for Philly fighting fans at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship\u2019s Liberty Brawl<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit different celebrating here than over there,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of people [in England] don\u2019t actually know why we celebrate the Fourth, which is crazy to me because they were a big part of why we celebrate.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><p>That line drew a round of hearty laughs, even from the English media who\u2019ve been following the U.S. team during the World Cup.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cThe memories for me are just the typical standard: barbecue, enjoy time with family all day, fireworks in the evening, and just celebrating, obviously, what it means to have freedom, to have independence,\u201d Ream said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be this big extravagant thing, but just acknowledging why we are a country, and how we became a country, and how we became independent is enough for any of us.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><p>There wasn\u2019t going to be much extravagance for the team as it worked through the holiday. But there would be time in the evening to gather with friends and family and watch Seattle\u2019s big fireworks show from a rooftop downtown.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Then they\u2019ll be back at it, trying to give the nation one more festival in Monday\u2019s round of 16 game against Belgium (8 p.m., Fox29, Telemundo).<\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cWe are, as we all continue to say, very aware of the impact that we\u2019re having around the country, the impact we\u2019re having on generations of people and fans and supporters,\u201d Ream said. \u201cAware, but it\u2019s not something that is at the forefront of our thinking at the minute. It\u2019s more the game, and what we have to do to continue to move on.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        Watch the latest episode!\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In this World Cup, underdogs are stealing the spotlight, the U.S. men are on a roll, and Philadelphia has not only welcomed the world but has given visitors a crash course on just how real the curse of the Rocky Statue can be.<\/p>\n<p>Join Jonathan Tannenwald, the Inquirer&#8217;s soccer writer, and host Lisa Carlin, analyst for CBS Sports Golazo, as they dissect the matches, the moments, and more as Philly has its moment in soccer&#8217;s brightest spotlight.
