If the United States beat Belgium and advance to the quarterfinals the constantly growing and expanding American fan base might boil over.
“It means a lot to us. It means a lot to us because obviously the players get it communicated to their families that are here from the families back home,” USMNT coach Jürgen Klinsmann said about the growing interest in the game. “Obviously with the internet nowadays it’s no problem anymore to know what’s going on. It means a lot to us. The energy that comes from the United States, with their thousands and thousands of fans actually in Brazil, you see where the game is going in the United States. You can’t stop it anymore; it’s breaking through.
Klinsmann added: “But it means a lot to us, to see those pictures from home, and the enthusiasm from our fans in the stadium. Just to give an example: in Recife we lost the game, but the loud fans were the American ones. They were all over the stadium. They will be all over the stadium tomorrow in Salvador. And it means a lot to us, because it was kind of already started in the preparation phase when we played our send-off games in San Francisco, New York and Jacksonville. You know, packed stadiums, enthusiastic crowds and energies there. So we want to do extra well for all those fans, because it’s a cool moment right now, so we want to connect.”
