What They're Saying: Antonee Robinson

“I just try to be a good person because if everyone had that mindset then, yeah, you’d have world peace."

— USMNT and Fulham left back Antonee Robinson on comforting distraught Iranian Ramin Rezaeian a few minutes after the USA had beat Iran, 1-0, to advance to the knockout round and eliminated Iran from of the 2022 World Cup. Images of Robinson consoling and hugging Rezaeian went viral and were seen around the world. The images of Robinson overcome by emotion in his chair in the U.S. locker room after the match came after he said his "phone just blew up with it" and the enormity of the situation and the team's achievement hit him.
