Mauricio Pochettino’s Candid Remark Snubs Pulisic Amid Goal Drought

U.S. men’s national team striker Christian Pulisic suffered three separate blows on Tuesday night.

First, his squad got handily stomped by Portugal 2–0 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Second, the match extended Pulisic’s streak without a goal across all competitions to 15 games—and marked his eighth consecutive goal-less national team match, the longest drought of his U.S. career.
