After missing the 2022 World Cup, Chris Richards sped back from an ankle injury to lead the American back line this summer.<\/strong><\/p>

IRVINE, Calif. \u2014 At 6-foot-2 and some 200 pounds, Chris Richards would\u2019ve made an imposing wide receiver or defensive back. He certainly has the pace and vertical leap for it, not to mention a high sporting IQ. Born in Birmingham and raised in nearby Hoover, Richards even grew up in prime Alabama football country.<\/p>\n

Yet his parents, wary of football\u2019s physical risks, never steered him toward the gridiron. The one year he considered playing football, he got the flu during tryouts. So Richards opted for basketball and soccer, eventually going all in on the latter. If straying from football didn\u2019t make Richards enough of an outlier in Crimson Tide territory, playing soccer \u2014 as the son of a Black father and a White mother \u2014 certainly did.<\/p>\n

\u201cKids that looked like me,\u201d Richards said, \u201cweren\u2019t playing soccer back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Richards, 26, anchored the U.S. defense in Friday\u2019s 4-1 win over Paraguay<\/a> to open the World Cup in nearby Inglewood, California, it marked the latest milestone in a decade-plus path from those Alabama fields to the sport\u2019s grandest stages.<\/p>\n

As a teenager outgrowing the Deep South\u2019s soccer ecosystem, Richards ventured to Texas to hone his game. Shortly after turning 18, he signed a contract with MLS club FC Dallas. A few dizzying weeks later, he was bound for Germany to join Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere weren\u2019t many opportunities for me [in Alabama], so I had to leave home to go pursue my dream,\u201d Richards said. \u201cIt was a lot of sacrifices from 15, 16 years old that a lot of kids don\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut,\u201d he added, \u201cit all paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now a standout for English Premier League side Crystal Palace, Richards is arguably the United States\u2019 most irreplaceable player. Christian Pulisic<\/a> is the Americans\u2019 brightest star and biggest game changer. Folarin Balogun is the net-piercing striker who fills up the scoresheet. Tyler Adams runs point at the base of midfield. Weston McKennie may be the most complete player. But Richards\u2019s aerial prowess, crunching tackling and tidy distribution are critical to Coach Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

While the U.S. roster boasts more depth than ever before, there\u2019s no one behind Richards who can match his Premier League pedigree and defense-directing influence. Against Paraguay, the center back stepped up with a slew of timely interventions and connected on all 83 of his passes \u2014 marking the cleanest passing performance in a World Cup match<\/a> in 60 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe showed why, for me, he\u2019s one of the best defenders in the world,\u201d winger Tim Weah said. \u201cSuper aggressive. His passing was amazing. He finds a way to help us attack even quicker defensively. He\u2019s sound in the air. When you have a player like that, there\u2019s no worries at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

But not having Richards? That\u2019s a reason for consternation. A left ankle sprain suffered in a Premier League match May 17 put his World Cup status in doubt. Although he dressed for the Europa Conference League final 10 days later, he didn\u2019t get off the bench as Crystal Palace claimed the title. He also sat out the Americans\u2019 World Cup tuneup games against Senegal and Germany. But the expected recovery \u2014 about three weeks \u2014 came to fruition, and he returned to full training ahead of the Paraguay match.<\/p>

\u201cWhen I first came out with the injury, I was pretty devastated, and I was honestly fearing the worst,\u201d Richards said. \u201cOnce I had the diagnosis, I was like, \u2018All right, cool. Whatever it takes, I have to make it for this first game.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The defender\u2019s broad grin and cheerful tenor are so omnipresent that it can be tough to get a read on him. When Richards discusses the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which he missed because of a hamstring injury, he articulates an upbeat, matter-of-fact perspective. Still, it\u2019s clear the absence stung. Stepping onto the field at sold-out SoFi Stadium (billed by FIFA as Los Angeles Stadium for this tournament), Richards took time to soak in the pregame pageantry he long envisioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve thought about it for the last four years after missing the last one,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve thought about the first national anthem, hearing it, and what it would feel like, and I couldn\u2019t even describe how beautiful it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Once the match kicked off, however, he felt devoid of any nerves. And that pesky ankle? A nonfactor. \u201cI felt really good,\u201d he said. \u201cDidn\u2019t think about it once.\u201d He briefly left the field following a clash of heads in the first half but said he was none the worse for wear. \u201cI\u2019m all good \u2014 I\u2019ve got a lot of hair,\u201d he laughed. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the perks of having this Afro.\u201d<\/p>\n

All the while, Richards looked like he belonged out there. His sharp sixth-minute intervention set the stage for the Americans\u2019 opening goal moments later. He nearly found the net with a first-half header off a set piece. As the center of the three-man back line that takes shape when the U.S. is in possession \u2014 the middle linebacker, if you will \u2014 he snuffed out many a Paraguayan counterattack.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s somebody who commands the presence on the field,\u201d defender Mark McKenzie said. \u201cHe\u2019s just somebody who brings a lot of energy, whether it\u2019s understanding where somebody needs to be \u2014 you know, \u2018Hey, step up\u2019 or \u2018wake up\u2019 \u2014 or [identifying] somebody who just needs an arm over the shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Cup debut was the latest r\u00e9sum\u00e9 booster for Richards, who helped Palace win England\u2019s prestigious FA Cup and Community Shield last year, as well as that recent Conference League crown. With a victory against Australia on Friday in Seattle, the Americans can guarantee a round-of-32 berth with a game to spare.<\/p>\n

From there? The U.S. hasn\u2019t won a World Cup knockout game in 24 years. But Richards has never minded being the outsider.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve kind of gotten used to winning trophies,\u201d Richards said. \u201cSo hopefully I can finish off this summer the same way.\u201d<\/p>
