As the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team continues its World Cup run, captain Christian Pulisic is drawing attention for something that happened after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Following the Americans’ 2-0 victory over Australia on Friday, Pulisic shared a photo on Instagram showing several U.S. players gathered in a circle on the field, heads bowed in prayer. The win secured the United States a place in the next round of the tournament and marked another step forward in the team’s quest for a World Cup title.<\/p>\n

“Grateful to be a part of this group. Onto the next round all together,” Pulisic wrote alongside the photo, adding a U.S. flag and praying hands emoji.<\/p>\n
