One of my colleagues from the old NFL Network days- @RandGetlin, who stole my fantasy trophy in 2015- spent 4 yrs with the USMNT and the resulting 5-part docuseries is SO GOOD. His film-making talent is as immense as my hair in this picture. Do yourself a favor and binge “U.S.

Will football become a major sport in America following the World Cup?

In August 2016, I left the NFL Network. At the time, I wasn’t sure I was done being an NFL insider. I worked really hard to get there. No journalism degree. No traditional path. Somehow, against pretty long odds, I’d become one of the handful of national on-air insiders covering the NFL. Dream come true, right? I loved parts of it. Breaking news was a rush. Competing against the best in the world like @AdamSchefter was a rush. Building real sources and earning trust was a rush. But I also knew something was missing. I wanted to tell stories with more depth and care. I wanted to spend time with people in a way that breaking news doesn’t really allow. I wanted to understand not just what happened, but what it cost. Who it shaped. What it meant. So the original idea was pretty simple: keep breaking news on the NFL, but also start producing more human stories. Then life kept pulling us further toward the stories. Janina and I didn’t go to film school. We didn’t have some master plan. We just believed there was room to make sports stories that felt more human, more patient, more emotionally honest. Stories that didn’t flatten people into transactions, stats, mistakes, rumors, wins, losses, or whatever the loudest version of the internet wanted them to be that day. In 2016, I knew absolutely nothing about soccer. I didn’t really start learning the sport until 2019.l when we met Tyler Adams. Now, almost ten years after leaving NFL Network, we’re in Seattle documenting our second FIFA World Cup with the @USMNT. That sentence is still hard for me to process. U.S. Against the World is, to this point in our lives, the fullest manifestation of everything we dreamed @ParkStories could be. A big, bold, deeply human story about pressure, family, pain, belief, failure, resilience, and a group of guys trying to do something meaningful together. Giving everything they have to make our country proud, at a time when we desperately need to be brought closer together. It’s about soccer, obviously. But it’s also about the part of life all of us recognize: the low moments, the doubt, the noise, the waiting, the getting back up, the people who love us through it, and the hope that maybe the hard road is shaping us into something better. That’s what we’ve always wanted to make. Not content. Not access for access’ sake. Not sports wallpaper. Stories that move people. Stories that help us see each other more clearly. Stories that make the world feel a little less cynical and a little more connected. I’m really proud of what we’ve built. I’m proud we bet on ourselves. I’m proud we kept going when the path made no sense on paper. I’m proud we got to make this with people we love and respect. I’m proud of our team. I’m proud of Janina. I’m proud of the trust these players and families gave us. And I’m incredibly thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way. Everyone who watched. Shared. Texted. Called. Posted. Told a friend. Told us the show moved them. Told us they saw these guys differently after watching. That means more than you know. As we sit here in Seattle, getting ready for the U.S. to play Australia tomorrow night, I can’t imagine being anywhere else. THIS is the dream. And we’re really grateful we got to share it with you. U.S. Against the World is streaming now on HBO Max.

Once again, now that perhaps you have joined the party, I strongly recommend the documentary series “US against the World” if you want to know our national team better. HBO Max. You have time before we go again on Friday.

@jefecrandall @WMckennie Nice hat fam #usagainsttheworld

Sometimes you were a pain in the ass. But you were you. You came into the team at our lowest point. After Trinidad, I felt pretty done. Portugal. Debut. Goal. You inspired me to stick through it and make sure I was part of a World Cup….

If last night made you believe in the @USMNT, U.S. Against the World will make you care. Five days until Australia. Binge the full series on @hbomax before the next match — and if you love it, please share it. 🇺🇸

Been posting a lot here because we want people to find the show, but for anyone wanting to follow the team's journey in real-time, I'm way more active on Instagram. instagram.com/rand_getlin?ig…

True, but at the end of the last game, the #USMNT had on the field the sons of two former World Cup players, along with the son of a Ballon d'Or winner who never played in the World Cup. And then just for the fun of it, the son of a Super Bowl champion

🇳🇴 When Kristian Thorstvedt was subbed on against Iraq, Norway became the FIRST team in World Cup history to field THREE sons of former World Cup players in the same match. Alexander Sørloth, Erling Haaland and Kristian Thorstvedt all featured — and incredibly, their fathers

Before the World Cup kicks off here next month, watch U.S. Against the World and meet the @USMNT. You don’t need to be into soccer. If you care about pressure, sacrifice and young guys giving everything to make the country proud, this is for you. HBO Original. Now on HBO Max.

If anyone is trying to fully embrace the USMNT after the dominant opening win I’d strongly suggest U.S. Against The World on HBO. It gives full context for this 2026 run and you get the backstory on all the key players. Lots of behind the scenes Poch stuff too.

@kylesheldon @USMNT @hbomax Putting this on my watch list @USMNT

@kylesheldon @USMNT @hbomax Thank you for the suggestion! I didn't know about this.

@kylesheldon @USMNT @hbomax Great series. Agree that everyone should watch before Australia on Friday
