Weston McKennie Hosts Ella Langley Jam Session After USMNT World Cup Win

The US Men's National Team celebrated a crucial victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina with an impromptu jam session on the team bus. Midfielder Weston McKennie took over as DJ, blasting country star Ella Langley's hits and turning the ride into a singalong.

The 2-0 win in Santa Clara secured the US a spot in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After the final whistle, McKennie shared an Instagram video of himself singing along to Langley's "Choosin' Texas," with teammates Tyler Adams and Christian Pulisic joining in.

However, the night wasn't perfect: striker Folarin Balogun, who has scored three goals in the tournament, received a red card and will be suspended for Monday's match against Belgium. Despite this, Balogun got a shoutout from LeBron James, who praised his "silencer" celebration after scoring in the first half.

The team's love for country music extends beyond the players — manager Mauricio Pochettino recently revealed he listens to the genre before games. If it's a good luck charm, the USMNT should keep the music playing.

The victory over Bosnia was a key step for the Americans, who aim to go far in the home World Cup. Belgium will be a tough opponent, especially without Balogun, but the team's high spirits could be an advantage.

Fans have embraced the team's relaxed vibe, and McKennie's video has gone viral. With country music as their anthem, the USMNT hopes to keep the momentum going.
