USMNT Falls to Colombia in Friendly
Pulisic Injured, Berhalter Comments
USMNT 0-2 Colombia
The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) suffered a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Colombia in a friendly match on Saturday evening. The match, held at Carson's Dignity Health Sports Park, was marked by a significant injury to star player Christian Pulisic.
During the first half, Pulisic collided with a Colombian defender and was forced to leave the game with an apparent leg injury. The severity of the injury is still being evaluated, but it is a major concern for the USMNT heading into this summer's World Cup.
Following the match, USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter expressed disappointment in the result but praised his players' effort. He also provided an update on Pulisic's condition, stating that the team is "hopeful" that he will be available for the World Cup.
The defeat to Colombia is a setback for the USMNT, who were looking to build momentum ahead of this summer's tournament in Qatar. It is also a reminder of the team's injury concerns, with several key players currently sidelined.
The USMNT will now turn their attention to their next match, a friendly against Morocco on June 1. The team will then begin their World Cup campaign on November 21 against Wales.
