Something in the water?
We last saw Matt Besler, on these shores, last year when he played for USA against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.
Last night, Besler won a permanent place in our heart when he dropped in a Happy Gilmore quote to a post-match interview.
Following Sporting Kansas City’s match against Portland Timbers, Besler referred to the 0-0 result before pulling out this gem.
‘This is always a very difficult place to play. It was a hard-fought draw.
‘I tell you the real winner today is the city of Portland. Every time we come here, it gets harder to leave. I bet you guys put something in the water.’
Just about everyone, except ESPN, picked up on it.
It’s straight out of the Shooter McGavin charm playbook.
