Christian Pulisic stared in frustration after the final whistle and made clear how much work Mauricio Pochettino has ahead, but he added he thought there were better days ahead.
An 89th-minute defensive mix-up had dropped the United States into a 1-1 tie with New Zealand in a friendly on Tuesday night, a match that kicked off 30 minutes after the U.S. Soccer Federation announced it hired Pochettino to coach the Americans through the 2026 World Cup.
"It's time to turn the page and we really have to pick it up a level," Pulisic said.
