Telemundo announcers join USMNT fans in singing ‘Country Roads

During a recent match, Telemundo announcers engaged with fans of the USMNT by breaking into a spoken-word rendition of the classic song “Country Roads.” This occurred as fans celebrated the team's performance after a match against Turkiye, adding to the song's status as an unofficial anthem for the team. The tradition began after the USMNT's victory over Australia in Seattle, where fans sang along with the tune in a lively stadium atmosphere. The song was chosen as a fitting expression for USMNT supporters ahead of the World Cup, with another American classic, Bon Jovi's “Livin’ on a Prayer,” as the runner-up. The engagement by the announcers reflects the growing embrace of local culture in soccer events.
