A World Cup celebration took a country turn after the U.S. men’s national soccer team picked up a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In a video shared from the team bus, Weston McKennie played Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” on a Bluetooth speaker while several teammates joined in. Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson and Christian Pulisic were among the players seen singing along as the team marked its move into the Round of 16.
The moment gave the song another boost in a setting far outside a concert stage or radio studio. “Choosin’ Texas” has already become one of Langley’s most visible songs, and the clip showed how country music continues to find space in major sports moments.
The singalong also fit into a wider pattern around the tournament, where American fans have been bringing familiar songs into stadiums, streets and team celebrations. For Langley, it was another sign that the track is reaching listeners well beyond the country format.
