CHICAGO — The United States men’s national soccer team faces what its coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, flatly declared a “must-win” game against Costa Rica in the Copa América Centenario on Tuesday night. But if the Americans are feeling the pressure, they are not showing it.
On Sunday, several United States players serenaded fans at Wrigley Field with a version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the seventh-inning stretch of a Chicago Cubs game. And on Monday, while visiting Soldier Field for a walk-through, players insisted they were a better team than the one fans saw lose the Copa América opener.
