“Embraced” was the word Emma Hayes once used to describe her son Harry’s acceptance of starting a new chapter called the American Dream. From being able to name state flags—a skill that even left Hayes feeling a bit embarrassed, as she once admitted—to confidently singing the Star-Spangled Banner, it’s clear the United States no longer feels foreign to the seven-year-old. And considering how long he’s been living here, we’d bet the young boy has figured out his favorites, too.

Well, beyond places to eat and visit, perhaps Harry could tell us whether he has chosen his dearest among the US Women’s National Team, except, of course, aside from her mother. We bet there must be a cool young aunt in the camp that the little boy always loves to meet and spend some time with. While he may not tell it publicly, the good thing is that Hayes knows a thing or two.

In her latest chat on the US Soccer podcast, hosted by David Gass and Megan Klingenberg, she was asked whom Harry likes the most in the player’s pool. Interestingly, the 48-year-old tactician replied, “Well, he’s asked me three times since he’s been here; ‘Has Sophia [Wilson] had the baby yet? When is Sophia back? Is she coming back anytime soon? Is she back soon Mom?’ I’d say Soph is a clear number one.”

Yet, it’s not exactly Sophia Wilson that Harry is fond of. Hayes admitted that he even talks to her about Sam Coffey and Rose Lavelle. In fact, there are many more, precisely, the entire team loves to have Hayes’ boy around. “To be honest, all the girls are great with him. He loves it. It is like permanent entertainment for him and he loves amusing them and they likewise, winding him up,” continued the former Chelsea boss.

However, the only problem is that players end up becoming bad mentors sometimes for Harry, for instance, introducing him to soft soda beverages, even though children at his age should avoid them. The good thing is that Hayes finds it adorable, to the least. “They introduce him to things like Coca-Cola, stuff that you just find so cute. I’ve got like 25 bad babysitters and sometimes really good ones I’m afraid so,” concluded Emma.

Hilarious as it could be, right? Regardless, the most important thing is that Harry is enjoying his time in the States, especially around the WNT players, who surely never miss a chance to spend time with the boy. As for his obsession with Sophia Wilson‘s baby, we bet he already seems to have found his potential friend and would be looking to spend more time with the Portland Thorns forward’s upcoming little one.

After all, this is the least that Harry could get excited for, as unfortunately, he has his own tough battles to face despite having a blast of a time in the United States.

Emma Hayes’ son endured certain challenges despite a pleasant USA stay!

Earlier, Emma Hayes admitted that whenever she is away from Harry due to her demanding coaching job, he endures a tough time without her mother. “He struggles a little bit when I have to go away,” said the former Chicago Red Stars manager, who tries to be around her son as much as possible.

“The separation from me has been probably the hardest thing for both of us. I maybe didn’t anticipate that, but we’re working on it. I make sure he’s with me as often as possible,” added the former WSL manager. In fact, just after his superstar mother won her gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Harry ran towards her and said, “Mommy, you need to come home now. The team have had enough of you.”

Boy does he love his mum so much! Yet, the good thing is that Harry loves the very same places that Emma also likes to visit. Both have explored quite a lot in the city. In fact, months ago, the little boy went on a tour of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with Emma Hayes and his adorable friend Harper.

So it seems Harry is enjoying his time in the States. And all of it was made possible because of his own endorsement, encouraging his mother to take up the USWNT job. “Let’s go to the USA, Mummy! I’m really excited,” said the seven-year-old. Well, a good call, as one can say!
