The U.S. men’s national soccer team celebrated every win singing a classic song with Maryland roots.

Bill Danoff came up with the idea for John Denver’s biggest hit, “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” while driving along Clopper Road in rural Montgomery County, Maryland, 50 years ago. Danoff, Taffy Nivret and Denver put the finishing touches on it in a basement apartment in Georgetown.
