He said, “It’s great to have a player like him on the team. It’s great news for the United States. I hope Sullivan continues to progress and improve.”
For Sullivan, scoring such a goal was like a dream come true. “When you dream of moments like this since you’re three, four, five or six years old, it’s really incredible. I’ve prepared myself for this moment not just in the last few hours, but my whole life,” he told TNT Sports after the match.
Sullivan also expressed gratitude towards her family and coaches, “This is an incredible moment for me and my family. It’s really an honor to get this opportunity. The coaches believed in me and gave me this opportunity. I’m really grateful for that.”
