Jürgen and Jill

2014 / 2015 World Cup
.
Jürgen and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a World Cup Title
Jürgen fell down

2018 / 2019 World Cup (Gold Cup)

Jürgen didn't qualify to go up the hill

On the same day
Jill won her second in a row
(USMNT lost to Mexico)
.
Coach Jill Ellis is smart like a fox
Her US Women's National Team rocks!
