In a new interview, American superstar athlete Clint Dempsey discussed what the atmosphere was like for him and the rest of the USA national team during this year's FIFA World Cup.

"When I first started playing with the U.S. team, playing in friendlies or World Cup qualifying games, sometimes it would feel even in America that you weren't playing at home. To now, playing at a World Cup in Brazil and feeling like you are playing a home game in terms of the number of fans that were at the stadium and chanting is such a turnaround because I've been playing with national team for 10 years. To see that's happened only in 10 years, imagine what will happen in the next 10," said Dempsey to The Huffington Post.

The 31-year-old Texan also reminisced about the American fans support prior to defeating Ghana by 2-1 on June 16.

"On the bus going to the first game, seeing the fans walking and getting into the stadium with all the U.S. flags, people with the flags painted on their face, all the people wearing USA jerseys. Seeing that, we knew right away that, wow, we were definitely being represented here," said Dempsey to The Huffington Post, "It's exciting to know that you have that support and you do feel that in the stadium. So we appreciated it."

In addition, Dempsey talked about his historic moment (when he scored a goal 30 seconds after the start in the game) at the World Cup against Ghana in the Group Stage round of the prestigious international sport event last month.

"For me, it was the first World Cup that I had been apart of that I was going to be the captain, feeling that pressure to try to help lead the team. Also, it was the opportunity to be in three World Cups with the team, and I was excited about that. And being the first American to score in three consecutive World Cups or three World Cups and to do it in that fashion and do it so quickly into the start of the first World Cup game, it was almost like a dream. You couldn't believe it. You had to pinch yourself after I scored, after we were celebrating and were getting ready for Ghana to kick the ball off. It was something I'll never forget," said Dempsey.

Dempsey currently plays for the Seattle Sounders team in Major League Soccer, but as of right now, he does not know if he will play in the next World Cup tournament in 2018.

"Playing here in Seattle, you're spoiled because it's 40,000 plus every home game and then every so often they do open the stadium more and you have the opportunity, like we did against the Portland Timbers, to play in front of a 64,000 crowd. It's awesome to see how far the game continues to grow in the States and the future looks bright," Dempsey concluded.
