United States player chooses perfect moment to drop in a Shooter McGavin quote

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. https://youtu.be/fUNNJQK_5RA
