Living with Type 1 Diabetes has taught Jordan Morris the discipline to manage and live with the disease every single day. He brought that same commitment and diligence to his recovery from knee injuries on the soccer field -not once but twice. His perseverance is inspiring and now heβs heading to his first World Cup as part of the USA team going to Qatar. 26 Stories presented by Volkswagen.

Be hungry Jordan! We are counting on itβ€
People can say whatever they want about Jordan making the trip, but you canβt for a second knock his character. Type 1 diabetes, two ACL tears, and this guy is still going to the World Cup. We should be proud to have someone like that on our roster.
dont belong idc
Let's goooo Jordan! β€π€π
Overcoming Type 1 diabetes and 2 major knee injuries? This man is an inspiration!
I love You so much Jordan You are so great American Legend for me and I love all players of American Nationalist Soccer teams.πππ₯°ππ€β€π€ππͺππ
Honestly, the ppl commenting on here just to bash a fellow countryman is disgusting. I agree he hasn't looked great since his injuries and there were options playing at a higher lvl. But he didn't take the spot from anyone. Coaching staff choose players. He worked just as hard as any other player in our pool. Coaches saw something and went w him. Simple as that. It's those types of fans that will hold this program back. Not players in MLS or any other league around the world.
What a journey….go luck Jordan! Make us proud!

Not good enough
Top lad. I hope it goes well, sir.
hes an absolute unit of a human. The fact hes come this far with so many obstacles in his life is incredible!
This story gives me a little more sympathy for him being on the roster over Tillman, but⦠he also scored that important header, I think in nations league, wherever that dirty field game happened. Congrats, I have liked you and was sad when the acl tear happened. Stay confident and ready to make an impact, it takes just one goal to make yourself a legend
Idk why all the hate ive been a soccer fan all my life played since i was 3 and ive always thought Jordan was a solid player. Keep ya head up Morris most of us love ya
He's been through a lot. Hope he can peak in the WC and really have his burst of speed if he plays to help the US team!
Ok I got 3 things to say .
1. I did not know Morris had type 1 , but like they say you learn something new every day
2. Why the heck was he picked for the squad when their was better options , like I say Gregg does Gregg things πhopefully nothing goes wrong
3. Morris getting picked is like unexpectedly seeing that one kid show up to your bd party (which you have not seen in years) , just because your dad liked him it makes no sense.
Your story says it all man.. nothing but greatness heading your way.

The most make a wish roster spot
This boy has a mission
YES Jordan. Make MI, Eastside, and Seattle proud!
People have short term memories but I remember when Morris was the man, especially in 2019 he was an absolute stud for this team carrying Berhalter in his early tenure. That second tear really put a halt to his ascendance but I am happy for him.
I did not know he had 2 ACL tears. What a warrior ππ½πͺπ½
Jordan's perseverance is second to none. That Swansea injury could have mentally crushed another player. Glad he's with the group.
Honestly he is the only MLS guy that i wasnt mad about making the roster. He was the only decent player we had before this new generation.
Jordan is going to be a BEAST in Qatar. I so believe in him,top man.
Reppin for Seattle in the World Cup, best of luck brother ππ
Go US of Gay! Good luck ladies.
Letβs go Jordan!
Rooting for you Jordan. Always been a fan. Hoping that you crush it at World Cup and show your quality.
Represent Seattle Jordan you got this!!!!
