The United States men’s national team accomplished a feat they've rarely done in recent history. They managed to win a game against a Concacaf opponent not played in the United States.
New head coach Mauricio Pochettino got his first taste of Concacaf road action against Mexico during a friendly in October that saw the USMNT lose 2-0.
A local United States men’s national team fan got an incredible eight hours of sleep Tuesday night after deciding to turn off the USMNT vs. Mexico friendly at halftime. Mexico went on to win the game 2-0 but the fan didn’t see the ending of the game anyway.
“I knew I was in for a rough time when the game kicked off at 9:30 at night,” the fan living in the central time zone said. “I had no idea how boring it would be though.”
Christian Pulisic is one of five United States men’s national team players being sent back to their club ahead of Tuesday’s friendly. For fans asking why is Pulisic not playing vs Mexico, the USMNT star is going back to AC Milan to manage his workload.
The other four USMNT players heading back to their clubs have picked up minor injuries.
Weston McKennie, Ricardo Pepi, Zack Steffen and Marlon Fossey have all left the USMNT October camp.
