The U.S. men's national team has soared this World Cup, giving Little Elm residents more of a reason to take pride in their very own Weston McKennie.
The intrigue: McKennie, 27, grew up in Little Elm and went through the FC Dallas Academy from 2009-16. He has played in Europe since he was 18 and debuted for the U.S. national team when he was 19.
Fun fact: He is the only U.S. player to start in all of the team's World Cup matches so far. He also served as captain during the match against Turkey.
The latest: Chobani used images from McKennie's early life, milestones and personal artifacts to create a "Feed the Dream" collage that honors the people and coaches who shaped his path.
You can find the artwork outside Tinman Social in Little Elm.
What they're saying: "I always imagined he'd play in the World Cup. I knew he'd play pro and at a really high level. He's done exactly what I predicted and he's fulfilled his dream," said Alphonse Ngon, who coached McKennie when he was young.
What's next: Tinman Social is hosting a watch party for today's match against Belgium. Kickoff is at 7pm.
