## Resource

It’s become a global phenomenon at this World Cup as U.S. players and fans unite in singing John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” turning a 70s classic into an unexpected anthem. Originally penned by Bill Danoff during drives through New England, the song was nearly pitched to Johnny Cash before Denver swooped in — and the rest is history. The John Denver estate loves the revival, praising its message of connection, while FIFA even added it to their post-game playlist to spark these magical, shared moments. From West Virginia football fields to NFL games in Germany, this song proves music has the power to unite fans and athletes across cultures and continents.
