The images were all shiny Womens Bobby Hart Jersey , new and impressive — from the stadium's retractable roof and huge oval video board to the all-important shots of sellout crowds for MLS Atlanta United.The video evidence helped sway FIFA to overwhelmingly approve the bid from the United States, Mexico and Canada. The bid suggested Atlanta and Dallas as host sites for 2026 semifinals, and Atlanta United season ticket-holder Ken Harper can't wait."Based on the world-wide interest in the World Cup, I think it has the potential to have the same impact the Olympics did in '96 on our city," Harper said Wednesday. "I think it's fantastic."In its second season, Atlanta United already has set three MLS single-game attendance records, most recently 72,035 for a March 11 win over D.C. United.

Congrats to everyone who put in the tireless work to make it happen. How are we supposed to wait 8 more years?" Donovan said.U.S. defender Matt Besler said the World Cup will be "a great opportunity to showcase what our region has to offer and it's a great opportunity to create history. It's an opportunity for generations to share memories and to create memories, and years from now we're going to look back on this time and have great memories about that."MLS Commissioner Don Garber described the winning bid as "a testament to how our three nations came together for an unprecedented united bid. It's a monumental step in our collective vision to further advance the game of soccer here and to do what we can to help grow the game around the world."FIFA will select host cities from 23 candidates proposed in the bid. Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan began lobbying for her city on Wednesday. Like Atlanta, Seattle offers enthusiastic support."It's our fan base," Durkan said. "Seattle is iconic around the world.

"It's going to be here, so I won't have any problem going. I will be a part of that. I'm super-excited about it. Then again, I would love to travel internationally. But it's good that you don't have to go far. ... You're right in the middle of it."Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap, who played soccer before he was allowed to play football as a child, said he has always wanted to experience the excitement of a World Cup."I've tossed it around many times, going over there to see World Cup because the energy they have at their games and stadiums for soccer is second to none — unless it's us against the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Florida Gators against Georgia in the Cocktail Party," said Dunlap, who attended Florida. "It rivals those."The annual Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville, Florida has been topped on the list of the state's top sporting events, according to Cole Stranahan, 14.Stranahan, a native of Orlando, Florida who was visiting Atlanta with family members on Wednesday, said the rise of soccer in his state will be boosted by the World Cup."When I was born in Orlando soccer was hardly even a thing in Florida," Stranahan said. "Now in Orlando it's the main sport even ahead of basketball. Having a new team has really helped. But it's just getting the World Cup here in North America is showing how it's growing in the region."AP Sports Writers Howard Fendrich, Joe Kay, Tom Withers, Jenna Fryer, David Brandt and David Skretta contributed to this report.
