Hollywood First Look is with Rand Getlin talking about HBO’s U.S. Against the World: Four Years with the Men’s National Soccer Team. The five-part documentary series chronicles the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, capturing everything from the fallout of Qatar 2022 and coaching changes to locker room dynamics, Copa América disappointment, and the pressure of competing on home soil. In this interview, Getlin discusses why the series is about more than just soccer, what audiences may not fully understand about this generation of American athletes, and how the documentary explains why the sport matters in the United States now in a way it never has before and more.
