  • I think that if they get a little better and just keep improving. I think that I would want to play for the USA team because I am living in the US and I wouldn't have to leave my family. I think that anyone could win it just matters what team puts up the most effort.

  • I think, Harlan soccer could go far this year if they really wanted to and put time into it. If I could play for a soccer team it would be AC Milan because that is who Pulisic plays for and that is my favorite soccer player currently.

  • If they put in the effort and improve their techniques, maybe they will go far. If I had the opportunity, I would like to be in the Brazil national team. From what I have heard, I think France has a better chance of winning the 2026 cup.

  • I dont know much about soccer or alot about our soccer team but from what ive heard they are pretty good. I dont play soccer or know any teams so i have no clue what team i would play for. As Ive said i dont know any teams so i dont know who could be in the world cup. 

  • I think the Harlan team is going to go to state this year. They get better every year. If I could play for any team it would be the U.S.A. team. I am not sure who is going to win the 2026 world cup. It could be any team, but I would hope it will be the United States.

    • i would agree becuase harlan has some good players and coaching and mangers on the team this year. Its hard to determine whos going to win the world cup right now 

  • I do not know much about our school's girls and boys soccer team so I am not sure how far they will make it. The soccer teams have not played much this year so we can not see how they are playing and judge if they will make it anywhere yet. I do not have any interest in playing soccer so I am not sure what team I would want to play for. 

  • I would like to think that Harlans soccer team has the rare ability to crush this years apponents. With the huge number of people that went out this year we could keep subbing people out, and have a full bench in good condition. If I had to play for a soccer team, it would be anyone who can pass the ball around.

  • I think that Harlan has a good shot of going far this year because of the amount of good players that we have this year. I don't really know what team I would play on since I don't know too much soccer teams since I don't watch soccer much so I hope that the best team wins and has fun while doing it.

    • Harlan is looking good so far we have some good seniors and freshman coming up and doing something good for the team. soccer is pretty boring if your just watching it
