When it’s time for the big prize, the FIFA World Cup, fans and people from different countries find different ways to motivate their players to do their best. Things like big, detailed squad announcements, viral ads, and more, and these help by giving players an extra boost and reminding them of the country they represent.
The USA men’s national soccer team has decided to go one step ahead of all other nations by trying to do something really interesting this time. They bought space on several billboards and wrote motivational messages for several players sent to them by the fictional character Ted Lasso.
These billboards were erected in the hometowns of different players who are part of the 26 members. The messages are really funny and also represent the true nature of the Ted Lasso character. “The only bean that is too big to fit in your nose” and “Best Greggards” used.

What does the USA team look like on paper?
Haji Wright is currently in excellent form and looks quite impressive playing for Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super League and is also the second top scorer in the league. Jack Steffan, Manchester City’s backup goalkeeper and the formidable USA’s number one pick, has been overlooked by the manager and fans fear this decision will haunt them in the tournament ahead.
Arsenal’s Matt Turner has been given a spot in the roster and is expected to be their number one pick as they enter the tournament. Another shocker was the rejection of Rangers’ Malik Tillman, CF Montreal’s Djordje Mihailović and Union Berlin’s Jordan Pefok in the Eredivisie, as well as Groningen’s Ricardo Pepi, who failed to make it to Berhalter’s finals.
