“When I think of the 1994 World Cup and I go to my first game in Dallas, due to how well the American team did and how much the game grew due to having the World Cup here, I am curious to see what will happen from a good performance next year, if the United States can work well, what could arise from that,” Dempsey told Pak Gazette Digital. “It is too many times that every four years, all who are conventional Americans realize instead that conventional Americans realize each year.
“Have [Lionel] Messi moving the needle in terms of creating an impact on the main media, but if the United States has a great performance in the World Cup, heaven is the limit of what can be achieved. However, I am a little nervous at this time, but I am anxious for a strong performance in the Gold Cup to get a dance for the great dance in 2026 “.
Why is Dempsey nervous? Well, without advancing outside the group stage in the Copa América last year, a tournament that only includes countries in North and South America, in its own native soil will.
“It was a failure. You are the only host country that does not leave the group stage in the Copa América,” said Dempsey without Rodeos.
“But they can go back to the track. I think [head coach Mauricio Pochettino] He needs a little more time with them. Hopefully Gold Cup, strong shows, return to the track and try to do something special. “

The World Cup will naturally obtain the spectators and the game will grow alone. However, Dempsey has always felt a “responsibility” to do it himself. So, that is why it has been associated with Abbott, the official partner of Real Madrid Football Club, to make the ABBOTT Dream team.
Abbott and Real Madrid are organizing football tests for 18 and 19 years old in Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Dallas this summer, when the 11 best players will travel abroad on a trip with all the expenses to Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas, Madrid is fall.
“I am happy to give children a platform to pursue their dreams. One of those cities to try is Dallas, where I started everything.” These young players have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and also learn about nutrition to prolong their careers if they are lucky enough to achieve this as a profession. I am happy to make people part of something that gives people the opportunity to pursue their dreams, because at the end of the day, that’s what it is about. I was lucky to make my dream and do it to live. “
“I always felt that I had been trying to grow the game in terms of pioneers, but at the same time, if you have opportunities like this to return and give people that platform to have those experiences, it is special, because that’s what life is about,” he added. “I have six children, and he is quite busy chasing them, and sometimes he feels as if you are a super driver, but is it that he sees them try to chase their dreams? That’s what this life is about. You want to give people the opportunity to do something special in their life so you can be in peace and seek to be happy with everything. That is only in life. I want to help people go out and this was a perfect platform for that.” “

Dempsey, like all of us, expects the word “failure” not to be mentioned next summer during the World Cup. The USMNT can avoid that, said Dempsey, as long as they can continue what they have done in recent cups.
“At least, I think you have to leave the group. If you don’t, it’s a failure,” said Dempsey. “There will be a lot of pressure on this team for being one of the host countries, and not leaving the group will be a failure. It begins with leaving the group, making people believe, and anything can happen when you enter the knocked out rounds.”
