From his personal experiences with the England National team to his hopes for the next generation, Steven Gerrard tells his story.

The Players’ Tribune captured some of the madness during the U.S. team’s opening games against Wales and England.

This is the life of Rodrygo: “Words have power. Man, I’m living proof.” 

Ahead of the World Cup, Romário wrote this for Neymar: “No matter who you are, it is impossible to conquer anything alone.”

Brennan Johnson wrote this for Wales (and his nan): “We’ll be a part of moments that will exist forever in the minds of Welsh kids.”

Joshua Kimmich isn’t focusing on Germany’s 2018 results. He’s looking ahead to the 2022 World Cup: “Don’t get me wrong, I still dream big. I love the challenge and I know we can go far, but we have to take it step by step together.”

This is why Kalidou Koulibaly plays for Senegal: “Me representing my country is not just about a football match. It is about my blood, and my history, and the dreams of my parents.” 

Walker Zimmerman pens a letter to his younger self ahead of the World Cup: “There’s absolutely nothing like playing for your country. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

Hirving Lozano is ready for Mexico to cause an earthquake during the World Cup — again: “We can make the earth move.”
