Wake Up and Win, America follows the real-life story of Steve and Carol Bloom, a married couple who traveled to Atlanta to watch the Olympic soccer matches in 1996. Their infectious love of the sport prompted discussions with fellow fans, soccer enthusiasts, and even coaches. These conversations dissect the state of American soccer and how the U.S. men’s national soccer team can rise to a competitive level on the world stage
