Even fictional soccer coach Ted Lasso is getting into the action, giving a 'pep' talk to San Diego native Luca de la Torre as he competes in the World Cup.
At O'Brien's Pub in Kearny Mesa on Monday morning, the excitement was palpable as a packed crowd watched the U.S. men's team take on Wales in the opening match. Through jeers and cheers, local San Diego soccer fans also have another reason to root for the U.S.
One of those teams was the San Diego Nomads Soccer Club. Derek Armstrong, the head coach for the Nomads, still remembers the day he first saw de la Torre play. It was around 2010. "I remember it was December, and I advised against it because he was obviously Yale-bound," Armstrong said."He was going to Ivy League school and with his parentage and everything, I thought that was a natural thing."
The excitement is also getting a TV character, Ted Lasso, into the act.
