Although it’s been more than two weeks since the United States men’s national team was sent packing from the Qatar World Cup, star forward Christian Pulisic said he still regrets the missed opportunity he had early in the team’s round of 16 game against the Netherlands.
In the third minute of the USMNT’s knockout game against the Dutch, Pulisic ended up one on one with Netherlands keeper Andries Noppert. However, Pulisic’s low, left-footed shot was kicked away by Noppert, keeping the game knotted at 0–0.
The U.S. went onto lose 3–1, but the 24-year-old Pulisic said he believes the game could have played out differently if he’d converted the early chance.
