Of course there are. You're supposed to be emotional. That's kinda the whole point of watching sports. Beyond that, they want you to root for the same team they're rooting for - in this case the US 'cause we're watching a US feed.
Emoting is the entire point of watching. Human interest stories help with that. When you know more about the person, you're more emotionally invested. You don't give a shit when someone in your town gets shot and you don't know 'em. You'd be all sorts of emotional if it was your girlfriend that got shot.
Exactly why I don't watch. I don't need to be manipulated into caring about those or rooting for them
