2026 FIFA World Cup: It Feels Like A Full-circle Moment, Says Alex Freeman On His Memorable Breakthrough
FIFA World Cup: USA defender Alex Freeman described his maiden FIFA World Cup goal as an emotional and unforgettable moment after helping his side secure a 2-0 victory over Australia and seal top spot in Group D in Seattle on Saturday.
Freeman thought his celebrations had been cut short when the assistant referee raised the offside flag after he found the net in the second half at Seattle Stadium. However, a VAR review overturned the decision, sparking jubilant celebrations among the home players and supporters.
"It was a really emotional moment for me when the goal went in. I was going to celebrate somewhere else, but Cristian Roldan and the lads on the bench encouraged me to go and celebrate in that corner. I think this moment shows just how hard I've worked to get myself here, belting out the national anthem in front of a fantastic crowd like today’s. I'm incredibly grateful for all of this. I'm absolutely over the moon," Freeman said after the match.
