That morning, all players are training as a preparation for the semifinal against Jamaica. Later on, during on their way back to the hotel, Ryan sent a FaceTime request to Alex.
Alex: Hello my dear. How you're doing?
Ryan: Hi, sis. I'm good. What about you?
Alex: I'm good. So, just done training?
Ryan: Yes. By the way, sis. I have something to say.
Alex: What is it, sweetheart?
Ryan: Happy 30th birthday!
Alex: Aww, thank you. You're so sweet.
Ryan: You're welcome.
Alex: So, that's all?
Ryan: Yeah, that's all.
Alex: Okay then. I may hang up, right?
Ryan: Yes, sure.
Alex giggled.
Alex: Happy 21st Birthday, my boy!!
Ryan: Thanks, sis. I thought that you forget about it.
Alex: How can I forget it? You're my only brother after all. Not to mention, we have the same birthday with only different year.
Ryan: So, sis. I can expect you to take USA to final as our birthday present, right?
Alex: Of course. I can expecting you to do the same with the boys tomorrow too, right?
Ryan: Of course you can. Then, we'll celebrate it together when you get back here.
Alex: Sounds good to me. Sorry, baby. I need to go now. Let's talk again later.
Ryan: Okay, sis. Tell the girl I say hi.
Alex: Sure. Tell the boys the same from me.
Ryan: Okay, sis. Bye, now. I love you.
Alex: Bye, sweetheart. I love you too.
Then, they hung up.
"We're never know that you both have a same birthday" said Kelley.
"Nobody ever asked" replied Alex.
"Unbelievable" said Christen. Alex just chuckled.

"What a birthday present there" said Ryan.
"That's right. So, we can expect something like that from you too, right?" asked Pulisic.
"Yeah. I make a promise to her that I'll take the team to the final too tomorrow" replied Ryan.
"That's good. We'll make sure that would happen" said Pulisic. Ryan just nodded.
On the next day;
