Weston McKennie is from Little Elm, Texas, and Christian Pulisic from Hershey, Pennsylvania. Walker Zimmerman is from Lawrenceville, Georgia, and his American teammates from America, Colombia, the Netherlands and England. They are Black and white and biracial. Their parents are Ghanaian, Japanese, Salvadorian, Guatemalan, Surinamese, Trinidadian and Tobagonian, Liberian, Jamaican, Native American and Latvian Jewish. They are the 2022 U.S. men's national team, and they, like the country they'll represent at the World Cup, derive their power from their diversity.
They are the sons of presidents and migrants; of soccer stars and of absentees.
They speak at least seven different languages. They’ve lived in at least 13 different countries. They listen to old-school hip-hop and reggae and Taylor Swift, and everything in between.embraced BuddhismThey are as diverse, culturally, racially and otherwise, as any team U.S. Soccer has ever fielded. And in part because of their differences, not in spite of them, they are also one of the most tight-knit.
Luca De La Torre, from San Diego; and Haji Wright, from Los Angeles; and Tyler Adams, from Wappingers Falls, New York, were also on some of those youth teams. And on Adams’ heels in the New York Red Bulls academy was Tim Weah — the son of George Weah, soccer royalty, now Liberia’s head of state. But coaches plucked from everywhere, including college. Aaron Long, from Oak Hills, California, went to UC Riverside. Matt Turner, from Park Ridge, New Jersey, went to Fairfield. And Zimmerman went to Furman.
