The U.S. Soccer president gave a mixed assessment of the national team's Copa America Centenario performance after Tuesday's 4-0 semifinal defeat to Argentina.
HOUSTON — When it comes to evaluating the U.S. national team, federation president Sunil Gulati is nothing if not measured.
In a vacuum, a run to the Copa America Centenario semifinals represented a successful performance by the U.S. national team. But the 4-0 loss to Argentina on Tuesday at NRG Stadium provided a stark reminder of the Americans' place in soccer's hierarchy.
"Tonight was obviously a rough night against a terrific team," Gulati said.
