PARIS — Bob Mewis remembers when his daughter was younger and won the Massachusetts state soccer final on Father’s Day. He thought that was the greatest thing in the world.
Mewis never imagined then where he would be spending his 2019 Father’s Day.
“I thought that was fantastic. Now look at where I am. I’m at a World Cup in France,” said Mewis, father of United States women’s national team player Samantha Mewis. “It’s just kind of surreal, because she’s been playing soccer since she’s been 6 years old. So to see her playing at the highest level, it really, it’s just one of those things where you just want to pinch yourself to make sure you’re awake.
