Clint Dempsey may be the captain of the United States’ men’s national soccer team but he’s also apparently the team’s captain of adorable-ness. Dempsey posted this amazing photo to Instagram just a day before the American striker leads the U.S. squad in its opening World Cup contest against team Ghana (Monday at 6 p.m. EST folks — get your caxirolas ready!). A pair of tickets to the next World Cup says that the young lad summiting Dempsey’s shoulders and the two in his lap are quite possibly the happiest kids in the world tonight. The aww-inducing pic has already racked up thousands of likes on Instagram.
