Speaking yesterday ahead of today’s match, Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic insisted that USMNT are contenders to win this summer’s Copa America.
“Our goal in any tournament is always to win,” McKennie said. “We want to come out with the trophy. We have players in big clubs and as a team, we are not far off the best in the tournament. We have a great opportunity to grow and develop as a group ahead of the World Cup.”
“We want to win the tournament, that is why we are playing in it,” Pulisic added. “We want to go as far as we can, get out of the group, then go game by game from there and at the end of the day we want to win the tournament.
“With the tournament being in the U.S., this is perfect for us to showcase our abilities in a big tournament. We want the big crowds against the big teams in the big stadiums. That is what you live for as a soccer player.”
