USA and Mexico faced off in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup Final at NRG Stadium in Houston. A sold-out crowd in the stands with a trophy on the line. And enough storylines to fill two World Cups. The NFL superstar was also glued to his screen. And the American soccer hero Chris Richards rose to the moment by scoring a goal in the 4th minute of the game.
It made him tweet in joy. But the happiness was short-lived. Mexico’s Raul Jimenez didn’t hesitate while scoring the equalizer in the 27th minute. The game stood 1-1 at halftime. Patrick Mahomes is rooting for American victory. Expect more tweets to follow.
