🇺🇸 Mauricio Pochettino on the fans in Los Angeles tonight:
“The fans were amazing. On behalf of the whole team, massive thank you to the fans. The energy translated to the team was amazing.”
Pochettino said Pulisic received a kick two days ago in a training session. "Hope that it is not a big issue." #usmnt

Christian Pulisic:
“I just got a bit of a kick in the first half. I’m hoping that it’s nothing taking precaution.”
“Back of my leg sort of my calf area. Staying positive, I don’t think it’s anything.”

I cannot get over scoring a goal in the World Cup for your country and your immediate reaction is laser-focused on what this means for your haters

Gio Reyna just said his wife, Chloe, is pregnant.
Seriously.
He'd been waiting for the right moment to announce it, and decided this — a goal in the World Cup opener — was it.

The #usmnt 's 3-goal win is the team's largest in a WC opener since its first-ever World Cup match in 1930 (3-0 vs Belgium).
Also, I get that passing stats aren't the be all, end all, BUT...Chris Richards was 83/83 tonight.
