Tim Ream: USMNT a 'true representation of what America is'
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/49270695/usmnt-true-representation-america-tim-ream SEATTLE -- United States men's national team defender Tim Ream said the diverse background of the players on the USMNT is "a true representation of what America is."
The U.S. captain spoke to reporters prior to the team's World Cup training session on the campus of the University of Washington, with the USMNT set to celebrate July Fourth later in the day at a rooftop bar where they will watch celebratory fireworks.
The U.S. side is a mix of players born both at home and abroad, with some like Weston McKennie and Sergiño Dest the children of U.S. service members.
Ream said these backgrounds make for a unique blend of personalities and helped form a tight-knit group.
