‘It’s Called Soccer’ Has Become America’s World Cup Rallying Cry

The U.S. men’s soccer team triumphed over Iran yesterday, November 29th, with a 1-0 victory. Upon winning the match, the electric crowd of U.S.A. fans burst into the most American chant you could imagine. “It’s called soccer!” could be heard roaring through the stadium for miles, no doubt.

The internet flooded with memes in reaction to the dub, which advanced the U.S. to the Round of 16, a feat only to be achieved five times before. Here’s a star-spangled selection of the proudest, most patriotic of the lot. 

The U.S. is to face off against the Netherlands on Saturday, December 3rd. Let’s hope they can keep this momentum going.
