Tim Ream answered 26 rapid-fire questions in a ream soccer feature tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026 roster, giving a direct look at the routine behind one of the 26 players named to the U.S. Men’s National Team. The defender’s answers moved from breakfast to family time, but the clearest thread was simple: his days start early now.
Ream Soccer and the early start
He said he used to be a night person, but now he is a morning person. That shift shows up right away. Ream said he wakes up at 5:30 a.m. because he has kids and dogs, then starts with “Some type of omelet with avocado on toast.”
Family fills the rest of the frame. Ream said his kids are guaranteed to put a smile on his face, and that watching them do whatever they are doing while hearing them laugh and giggle is what does it. He also said he more often smiles with teeth, which fits the tone of the interview more than any roster note could.
U.S. Soccer and Tim Ream
U.S. Soccer asked every player a set of 26 rapid-fire questions, turning a roster feature into a quick profile of habits, preferences, and home life. For Ream, the answers made the most sense when read as one chain: early wake-up, breakfast, kids, dogs, and then another early night.
He said he and his family like to have fairly early bedtimes, and added that sleep is important for Mom and Dad and important for kids growing up. That line lands alongside the morning routine, because it shows the schedule is not just personal preference; it is built around family needs.
Ream also said having kids has given him more of a reason to continue to push and perform, and that providing for his little ones made him reevaluate everything he is doing. He said, “They give me purpose and reason to continue.”
St. Louis Blues and St. Louis
The hometown pieces were short but specific. Ream said ice hockey is a favorite sport, and the St. Louis Blues would be his favorite team. He also pointed to toasted ravioli as something people may not know about St. Louis.
His explanation was direct: “I don’t think people have probably heard of that outside of St. Louis, which is ravioli breaded and then either fried or thrown in the oven and toasted up.”
That is the shape of the feature. It does not tell readers how Tim Ream will fit into the U.S. Men’s National Team roster for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but it does show the routine and motivation he is bringing into it: early mornings, family first, and a defender who says fatherhood changed the reason he keeps pushing.
