Christian: Yeah, I mean, I switch it up so much to be honest. Like right now, I’ve definitely been listening to Drake’s new album so much. That’s been getting me hype before the game. Sometimes, I’m in a more relaxed mood. I’m listening to country like Ella Langley or Morgan Wallen. Kind of depends on the mood I’m in, to be honest.

BuzzFeed: It is interesting that this year the World Cup is being hosted by three countries, therefore multiple cities. Is there a particular city or stadium that you’re looking forward to playing in?

Christian: It’s pretty special that it’s in the US. Obviously, two of our games in the group are in LA. Seattle is such a fun, such a good soccer city. I played there once or twice before. The support’s always incredible. Hopefully, we can see some other places around the country if we keep advancing.
