The U.S. men’s national soccer team returned to home soil for the first time since March for an international friendly against Morocco on Wednesday, getting out to a strong start en route to a 3–0 victory. But it was a post-game comment by star midfielder Christian Pulisic that will likely draw the spotlight.
Speaking on the field at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati during ESPN’s broadcast, Pulisic was asked what it was like to be back in front of American fans after a long break. The Chelsea star paused briefly before giving a frank answer expressing disappointment at the game’s turnout, which had a higher percentage of Moroccan support than Pulisic was hoping for.
