As the upcoming World Cup approaches, one of the tournament's hosts, the USA team, stated that they are not satisfied with the lack of support:

"It crushes them, hurts them, and makes them sad. They are disappointed in themselves for not giving fans more reasons to support them.

They say: "I want to go out and do something impressive with this team at the World Cup so that we can change the perception of this sport in the country forever.”

"That’s the kind of strong connection we want to have in this tournament. The connection that makes you fly.

Seeing how they fight, how the fans behave – that’s an important thing we need to learn in the USA.

"To support this team, I think you need to get to know it and take care of it even before this championship starts.

The USA team will face the teams from Paraguay, Australia, and Turkey in one group.

The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19.
