US soccer star Gio Reyna reveals wife is pregnant after stunning trivela goal caps USA's 4-1 World Cup win

U.S. men’s soccer team star Gio Reyna did more than just punctuate the team’s 4-1 win with a sweet goal; he announced his wife’s pregnancy.
Reyna, 23, scored a trivela goal – a goal scored with the outside of a player’s foot – in the 98th minute, and then made his announcement during his celebration. He first covered his ears in celebration and was mobbed by his teammates.
After doing that, he scooped up the ball, and put it under his shirt and sucked on his thumb, something soccer players have done to announce their spouses' pregnancy.

"My wife’s pregnant," Reyna said postgame, according to The Athletic.
"I’ve known for a couple months now," Reyna said, "so I was waiting for the perfect time (to announce the pregnancy). And this sort of felt like it."
