Matthew Hoppe just locked himself as the starting striker for the rest of time

Matthew Hoppe was one of the exiting players — and he was not happy about it. As he neared the sideline, he voice his frustration. Berhalter responded.

...

“As a player, you want to play, you want to stay on the field,” Hoppe said in an interview with The Washington Post this week. “Gregg played; he knows what it’s like. I let the emotions get the better of me. There is no hard feelings there.”

Hoppe, though, still felt bad about his behavior. So as the delegation moved to Las Vegas for the final against Mexico, he decided to make amends in a lighthearted way.

He enhanced a photo of Berhalter’s shaved head with an artistic touch and arranged for it to be plastered on a T-shirt.
