HerndonitePoor defending on that corner. You can't leave a talented player all alone at the top of the box. #USMNT did and paid the price. đ«€
SSFC KDT đđâœđčđ»đșâOverheard at the #soccer bar:
"When did Sausa become a US Soccer sponsor?"
Brian Sciaretta đ€IMHO, Pulisic as a false 9 is just not the way to go when the team actually has good forwards.
Also; why not play 3 in the back? Moving to that formation is what pulled the team out of its rut in 2025 #USMNT
No surprise to see Pulisic taken off at the half. Sitting on a yellow card and clearly frustrated. He was a red card waiting to happen.

Patrick Agyemang for Christian Pulisic
Tanner Tessmann for Weston McKennie
Max Arfsten for Antonee Robinson

This is a strange squad. They show flashes of inspiration but can't bring them to fruition. Their defense isn't terrible but it is not airtight enough to prevent opportunistic goals from teams that take their chance well.
I don't think it is hopeless. Quite possible they could pull it together and make a good run of it this summer.

Pulisic is trying too hard. He's feeling the pressure.
Paul Tenorio đ€Feels very similar to the start of the Belgium game. #USMNT looking confident. Playing well. Creating chances. No goals to show for it, though, and Portugal has had some dangerous moments.
Strong move from #usmnt with Weah almost connecting with Pulisic. Berhalter follows with a string shot from distance that is saved.
Better.
