World cup

Years ago I saw Pele play at the Polo Grounds. It was a privilege to witness his electric performance.

Today, December 29, 2022, the soccer great died at 82.

When Pele was on the field, America was attracted to the charisma he brought.

My assessment that Americans would not embrace soccer’s big moment this year proved wrong as well.

Team U.S.A. made a decent showing. The World Cup was a fever that caught all of us in its embrace.
