Stanford soccer is hosting a very special guest this weekend. Per their social media pages, the United States Men’s National Team is practicing at the Stanford training ground, as well as their stadium.

You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment especially toward the national team, in my opinion that’s way out of line.”

Jesse Marsch claims his comments weren't a dig at the USMNT and star Christian Pulisic, but the aren't many other ways to read into them.

And while the USMNT was thoroughly embarrassed in its friendly against Switzerland, much of the discussion focused on the player who wasn't there: Christian Pulisic. Ever since the AC Milan star elected to skip the Gold Cup — the USMNT's only competitive tournament before the 2026 World Cup — the backlash had been impossible to ignore.

The U.S. Men's National team got torched, 4-0, in the first half of a game against Switzerland June 10. Hot takes were everywhere pre- and postgame.

The USMNT star broke his silence after being the focus of debate for skipping this summer's Concacaf Gold Cup.

The USMNT have struggled against top opposition in the past, but with Pochettino having his longest camp overseeing this squad, it will be a chance to instill tactics that can be used to topple European giants.
