🧤🇺🇸 MATT FREESE: USMNT NUMBER 1 GOALKEEPER WITH ICE IN HIS VEINS ❄️⚽
Soccer for Kids by Darren Rees.
This week we dive into the epic, bruise-covered, ice-cold journey of U.S. Men’s National Team number one goalkeeper – Matt Freese. From smashing his shins on the bedframe while practicing dives as a kid, to saving three penalties in a row at the 2025 Gold Cup, Matt’s story is packed with determination, laughs, and pure goalkeeper magic.
We’ll explore:
⚽ How Matt’s scientist family thought about brains while he dreamed about saves.
🧤 The weird backyard training that gave him bruises but built his toughness.
🥅 His big leap from Harvard University to MLS with Philadelphia Union and then NYCFC.
🔥 The night he denied Lionel Messi and became a hero for New York.
🇺🇸 And how he turned into “Matty Ice” – the U.S. national team’s coolest shot-stopper.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon (right here in North America!), find out why kids everywhere are copying Matt’s saves in their back gardens and why he’s the goalkeeper with ice in his veins.
Plus, shout-outs to Rockies FC in Canada! 🇨🇦🙌
🎧 Perfect for young soccer fans who dream big, dive fearlessly, and maybe sneak in a few chicken nuggets after training.
