DALLAS — In the 26 World Cup matches it has played in the last 70 years, the United States men’s soccer team has 25 goals, a paltry output even for a low-scoring sport.
So imagine, at age 21, being anointed America’s goal-scoring hope. Chosen from among the elite. For a formidable, globally watched challenge that occurs once every quadrennial.
Such is the weight of hope and expectation that Jesús Ferreira, at 5-9, 150 pounds, carries to Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
