But it was a post-game comment by star midfielder Christian Pulisic that will likely draw the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the field at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati during ESPN&#8217;s broadcast, Pulisic was asked what it was like to be back in front of American fans after a long break.  The Chelsea star paused briefly before giving a frank answer expressing disappointment at the game&#8217;s turnout, which had a higher percentage of Moroccan support than Pulisic was hoping for.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, for whatever reason, I&#8217;m not super happy with the amount of Americans here,\u201d Pulisic said.  &#8220;However that works out, if I&#8217;m being completely honest.  But thanks to the ones who did come, and the support is always great from them.  But yeah, it&#8217;s nice to be back in America and playing again. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic once again shined for the Americans on Wednesday.  He recorded an assist on the team&#8217;s first goal of the night on a play in which his perfect first touch on a lofted pass preceded a quick cutback and delivery to Brenden Aaronson, who tapped the ball into a wide open net.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<section class=\"m-in-content-recommendation m-detail--in-content-recommendation m-detail--body-reset mm-component-stack--is-body-item\" style=\"--title_size_a_font_size:16;--title_size_b_font_size:16;--title_size_c_font_size:16;\">\n<p><span>Scroll to Continue<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Pulisic later drew a penalty in the second half that was converted by Haji Wright for the game&#8217;s third and final goal.  In the process, Pulisic recorded his 10th assist of his national team career, making him the fastest in team history to reach the 20-goal, 10-assist mark over the past 30 years.  Pulisic did so in his 49th appearance for the team, just beating out Landon Donovan (50 games).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>The US will play another international friendly on Sunday against Uruguay at Children&#8217;s Mercy Park in Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Soccer Coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/template\" id=\"facebookPixel1103097776498609\">!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()\n{n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}\n;if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n(function(){\n    fbq('init', '1103097776498609');\n    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    var contentId = 'ci02a2ad442000245d';\n    if (contentId !== '') {\n        fbq('track', 'ViewContent', {content_ids: [contentId], content_type: 'product'});\n    }\n})();<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US men&#8217;s national soccer team returned to home soil for the first time since March for an international friendly against Morocco on Wednesday, getting out to a strong start en route to a 3\u20130 victory.
