The United States men's national team took care of business on Wednesday night, blanking the visiting Moroccan side in the first of four World Cup warm-up matches slated this month. While the result went the USMNT's favor, cruising to a victory 3-0 once the whistle sounded, Christian Pulisic was not completely happy with every aspect of the match.
Asked about his return to American soil, Pulisic used the opportunity to call out the US fan base for not showing enough support for the USMNT.

The ever stoic USMNT wunderkind didn't mince words about the lack of fanfare that came out to support them at the TQL stadium in Cincinnati.
The US side pounced early with two goals in the first half from Brenden Aaronson and Timothy Weah within six minutes of each other to take a 2-0 lead at halftime. Then they piled with a third strike thanks to a successful penalty kick by Haji Wright in his USMNT debut.
Perhaps Christian Pulisic's call out lights a fire in the fan base for them to come out in droves for the next match.
