Pulisic calls out U.S. supporters after Morocco win

United States captain Christian Pulisic was critical of the level of American support from the crowd of 19,512 at TQL Stadium during a 3-0 victory over Morocco on Wednesday night in the first of four World Cup warmup matches in June.

"For whatever reason, I'm not super happy with the amount of Americans here, however, that works out, if I'm being completely honest," Pulisic said after the match, referring to the number of supporters of the U.S. team in attendance. "But thanks to the ones who did come, and the support is always great from them.

"I mean it was a great win, we're really happy. We started really well, got that early goal and yeah, just a really strong performance.

"But, yeah, it's nice to be back in America and playing again."

Brenden Aaronson and Timothy Weah scored midway through the first half and Haji Wright converted a second-half penalty kick in his senior national team debut. Pulisic, who normally takes spot kicks for the U.S., gave the ball to Wright and his former U17 World Cup teammate repaid the faith with a goal.

"Yeah I mean, Haji and me go way back," Pulisic said. "I think he needed that goal. He said he was confident to step up and take it and I wanted him to get that confidence and I'm glad he scored."

The 15th-ranked Americans, using a roster at about 75% of full-strength, won for the first time in four matches with No. 24 Morocco, also preparing for the November tournament in Qatar.

Wearing rainbow numbers on white jerseys for LGBTQ Pride Month, the U.S. extended its home unbeaten streak to 24 matches since a September 2019 loss to Mexico, two shy of the team record.

In Qatar, the U.S. will face off against England, Iran and the winner of Sunday's UEFA World Cup playoff between Wales and Ukraine in Group B play.
