Why this matters in The Trophy Club
Trophy Club residents gathering to watch the US men's national team take on Belgium will be keeping a close eye on the outcome, as a win could set up a quarterfinals matchup against Spain. The community's enthusiasm for soccer is evident in its local youth leagues and pickup games, and a successful US team run could inspire even more young players in the area.
