The U.S. men’s national soccer team had plenty of people around the United States celebrating their 1-0 win over Iran, a result that sent them through to the World Cup’s Round of 16. Among those USMNT fans? President Joe Biden.

Speaking in Michigan at an event themed around his administration’s economic initiatives, Biden was seemingly done with his planned remarks only to return to the podium, excitedly announcing the game’s outcome to the room. “USA! USA!,” said Biden as the event’s audience joined him in the familiar chant. “That’s a big game, man!”

Biden continued that he told the USMNT that he believed they could get the win they needed to advance, though he also seemed to indicate that the team didn’t react to his pep talk with major enthusiasm.
