The United States men's national soccer team went through some training drills at a welcome event with a construction crew in Doha on Monday amid ongoing controversy over Qatar's treatment of migrant workers ahead of this month's World Cup.
American players, including Chelsea's Christian Pulisic, were seen kicking the ball around with workers, who also got a few lessons and some training exercises from the 26-man national team. Afterwards Pulisic, coach Gregg Berhalter and other American players signed autographs for the workers, without whom the upcoming tournament would not have been possible.
It remains unclear how the session came about.
