With a goal and a USMNT callup, it was a Sunday Funday for Cristian Roldan

Have a day, Cristian Roldan.

In addition to scoring his sixth goal of the season against the club's biggest rival in a 1-1 draw to extend a club-record unbeaten streak and remain in first place in the Western Conference, the midfielder earned a USMNT call-up on Sunday ahead of this week's FIFA World Cup qualifiers. What a mouthful. What a day.

Since everyone loves Cristian and social media is ALWAYS a positive and uplifting place, the Twittersphere was pretty stoked about his wonderful day.

That goal was a hot mess, but Roldan had read the breakdown well. Sneaky little finish. Very good season and deserved #USMNT call-up

In typical Cristian fashion, he shared his great day with others, too. Following tonight's match, the third-year pro made time for a fan.

What a guy! @CristianRoldan created this memorable moment for a young fan after tonight's match. 💚💙 pic.twitter.com/ZHoQKDvBlt
