U.S. Soccer Federation chief executive officer Will Wilson will step down after 2 1/2 years on the job.
Wilson, 54, confirmed to the U.S. Soccer Federation on Friday that his last day will be Oct. 31, three weeks before the U.S. men's team begins the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Before last night, casual U.S. soccer fans may not have had any idea who Haji Wright is. After last night's impressive 3-0 win against Morocco, that changed. Wright came on as a halftime substitute and immediately impressed, with a series of clever flick-on passes in build-up play and surging runs into the box that showcased his attacking threat. It was his 64th-minute penalty conversion, however, that Wright and USMNT fans alike will never forget.
After helping the USMNT beat Morocco 3-0 in a friendly on Wednesday night, Pulisic was asked how he felt being back in America. He responded by calling out the small crowd size at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.
The United States men’s national team had a dominant 3-0 victory against Morocco on Wednesday that featured some great individual performances. The friendly game saw some incredible work from Christian Pulisic, great versatility from Brenden Aaronson and plenty of quality. Here are the USMNT vs. Morocco player ratings.
In the buildup to the USMNT's friendly against Morocco, with the countdown to the World Cup now well and truly on, one of the most intriguing eye tests was the American midfield trio of Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah and Brenden Aaronson against fellow World Cup contender Morocco.
The three will be linchpins of the squad over the next decade, but the 21-year-old Aaronson was playing a new central role for the United States after previously being stationed on the left or right wing of Gregg Berhalter's 4-3-3 formation.
Hey you. Yes, you, average human. Please halt your evening, stop scrolling through Facebook and look at what an American did playing soccer. The Christian Pulisic touch vs. Morocco was pure artistry in motion as the USMNT No. 10 beautifully set up Brenden Aaronson for the first goal of the night on Wednesday.
“Who is Haji Wright?” fans might ask while watching June’s United States men’s national team games. This is a valid question to ask as the 24-year-old is set to make his first appearance with the senior USMNT team.
The USMNT only has six more games before the 2022 World Cup, beginning Wednesday with a friendly against Morocco at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. How to watch USA vs Morocco has never been more important — every single chapter is now leading directly to the final act. It's time to nail down our cast of characters.
