Now imagine the pressure of being the captain of a World Cup host country and one of the oldest players in the tournament. With the popularity of the World Cup in North America, Ream wants to continue that momentum and expand interest into Major League Soccer. I don't think there's any doubt that the sport and popularity will continue to expand and grow. The World Cup was a good indication of how much it can grow in a short amount of time. MH: What was it like to captain the national team for the World Cup, especially on home soil this time?
