United States men’s national team star Christian Pulisic sent an impassioned message of thanks to fans of the team Saturday after the group was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup with a 3–1 loss to the Netherlands.
“Thank you guys so much for all the support. It really meant a lot to us,” a dejected Pulisic told Fox’s Jenny Taft after the round of 16 match. “We’re sorry. We really wanted it so bad, and I hope we gave you some kind of excitement and showed you what this country is about, what this team is about… Just thank you guys.
