The Borussia Dortmund winger said the team wasn’t ready to play against Trinidad and Tobago and downplayed earlier excuses of chemistry issues
Christian Pulisic has blamed lack of focus, rather than chemistry issues, for the failure of the United States national team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
The USMNT needed just a single point in its qualification finale against already-eliminated Trinidad and Tobago, however, ended up losing 2-1 and missed out on this summer’s showpiece in Russia.
Blame has been passed around since the shock defeat, with former U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati declining to run for another term, and then-manager Bruce Arena leaving his post.
