This change can be attributed to the Americans’ gold medal victory at the 2016 Chicago Olympics over Brazil, a close match with the United States winning 6-5. The nationalistic pride brought on by such an event spurred a nationwide rise in the popularity of soccer.

United States Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati was quoted as saying, “This is a quantum leap for American soccer; we are finally gaining the respect we deserve. Baseball has nothing on our sport!”

Even though America took both Bronze and Silver at the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, there are many who consider those second-rate medals and completely unimportant as well as insulting to all parties involved; this later event, conversely, is considered by many as the Magnum Opus of American Soccer that will start a new age.

The United States will scrimmage against the German National Football Team, or Die Deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft, on January 1, 2019 as a New Year’s celebration.
