Скачать или смотреть Does America Actually Care About Soccer? (Atlanta) 🇺🇸 | Road Trip to the World Cup Series

The United States doesn’t get enough respect when it comes to soccer. And with the World Cup coming soon, I think it’s the perfect time to prove the haters wrong (at home and abroad).

That’s why I’m visiting all 16 World Cup host cities to explore WHY this beautiful game means so much and WHO it matters to.

From the pros, to grassroots, youth, adult pick up and everything in between - this is Atlanta’s story.
