Cardinals React to USMNT World Cup Win

Some Arizona Cardinals are big soccer fans, and that was put on display Tuesday afternoon.
In this story:

The Arizona Cardinals don't exactly play the same brand of football as the sport that's being played in Qatar right now, but there's no mincing words or lines: Patriotism is at an all-time high when the United States plays in the World Cup.

Such was the case as the USMNT faced a pivotal Matchday 3 meeting with Iran, needing a win and nothing less to advance through to the knockout stages of the World Cup. 

Last week, we explored what a potential starting lineup would look like if the Cardinals put their own soccer team out.

Today, after edging out a close 1-0 victory, a collective sigh of relief was heard across the country, some of those coming from your favorite Cardinals:

Cornerback Trayvon Mullen even enjoyed the action too, although we're not quite sure if he has any ties or connections to the sport.

Others have yet to post, but surely a few more guys tuned in, especially on their bye week. 

The United States will take on Netherlands this Saturday.
