Despite being robbed of a goal for the second straight match, the U.S persevered and moved on as group leader to the round of 16. I’m sure it must have been tough for the players to fight through all the poor officiating, but they found a way to overcome adversity. If athletes on the US soccer team (who are still humans) can overcome adversity and never give up when their backs are against the wall, how much easier is to overcome trials in our lives with God on our side?

Congratulations to the US Soccer team! We hope you will continue an amazing run in the World Cup. Go USA!
