TEAMMATE, SHOWING OF EACH AND 
EVERY DAY,  THE GAME THAT I 
PLAYED, SPEAKING TO THAT, I'M 
PROUD ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF GAMES

FIELD, BUT MANY YEARS AGO, ONE 
THING THAT STRUCK ME AND ALWAYS 
STRUCK ME, INCREDIBLY 
INTELLIGENT, YOU THINK ABOUT 
THE GAME ON AND OFF THE FIELD, 
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE IT 
IS, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON 
WHERE THE NATIONAL TEAM IS AND 
SOCCER IN GENERAL, ARE WE 
HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?

ALONGSIDE STU HOLDEN, I AM JOHN

HAS A GOOD IDEA OF THAT. 
NOW FIGURE WHICH OF THESE 
BRIGHT YOUNG STARS CAN

HEADING INTO WORLD CUP 
QUALIFYING.>> John: IT IS IN 
SOME WAYS A MORE DIFFICULT GAME,

MVP OF THE NIGHT, THE PLAYERS 
COME THROUGH THE HANDSHAKE 
LINES THE GERARDO MARTINO, HAS 
NOT  LOST ANY OF HIS FIRST 10 
GAMES IN CHARGE, HE'S NOT GOING 
TO COACH A GAME IN MEXICO UNTIL 
HIS 14th GAME IN CHARGE NEXT 
MONTH, HE SAID THE GOLD CUP 
FINAL WAS A HARD GAME, AND THEY 
EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT. 
MEXICO GETTING THE 1-0 WIN IN 
THE GOLD CUP FINAL. 
44 YEARS OF AGE, 2 WORLD CUPS 
UNDER HIS BELT, THREE GOLD CUP 
FINALS, THE FOURTH TONIGHT. 
THE 2011 GOLD CUP FINAL, THE 
GAME OF THE ROSE BOWL IN 
OCTOBER 2015, THE WORLD CUP 
QUALIFIER IN MEXICO CITY IN 
JUNE 2017, THE 1-1 DRAW, THAT 
MADE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, OR 
AT LEAST ME, SQUEAL WITH DELIGHT
WHEN HE SCORED FOR MIDFIELD, 
MICHAEL BRADLEY. 
HIS HOPES FOR THE U.S. TONIGHT, 
LET'S HEAR FROM THE FIELD. 
>> WHEN YOU WATCH THE FILM, 
GREGG BERHALTER SAID HE SAW 
TEAM THAT IN A BIG MOMENT  
SEEMS FAR TOO CAUTIOUS, HE 
WANTS TO SEE MORE TONIGHT, WHEN 
YOU WATCH THE FILM, HE SAW A 
TEAM THAT WAS TIRED, THEY 
LACKED ENERGY, GAVE MEXICO 
MOMENTUM, HE WANTS TO SEE HIS 
TEAM TO -- DO BETTER ON THE 
BALL. 
HIS MESSAGE TO HIS GUYS BEFORE 
STEPPING ON THE FIELD, HAVE THE 
BRAVERY AND BELIEF IN YOURSELF, 
JUST GO OUT AND PLAY.
>> John: THE 70th ALL-TIME 
MEETING BETWEEN THE USA AND 
MEXICO, DATING BACK TO 1934, 
MEXICO LEADS THE ALL-TIME 
SERIES SINCE THE YEAR 2000 CUP 
THE U.S. HAS WON HALF OF THE 
GAMES THEY PLAYED, A BIG REASON 
WHY, THEY GET RESULTS IN 
FRIENDLY'S, THEY HAVE NOT LOST 
IN THE LAST 12 NONCOMPETITIVE 
GAMES, DATING BACK TO A GAME IN 
THE MEADOWLANDS, JULY 2000, 
JUST 1 WIN IN THE LAST 9 
COMPETITIVE GAMES. 
AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE FROM 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC?  
>> STU: WE WANT TO SEE SOME 
GROWTH, AT CHELSEA NOW, 
FIGHTING AND CONTINUING IN A 
TEAM WITH CHELSEA, BIG 
EXPECTATIONS, ONCE AGAIN, 
WANTING TO SEE HIM BE A LEADER, 
CAN HE PRODUCE A MOMENT FOR THE 
TEAM?
>> John: GINGER RITO -- 
>> CHICHARITO,  MAKING THE MOVE 
BACK TO SPAIN. 
AND HE HAS ABOUT 45,000 
PARTISANS BEHIND HIM TONIGHT. 
AND A REPEAT JUST TWO MONTHS 
ON, THE GOLD CUP FINAL, THE 
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO, FOR 
THE 70th ALL-TIME LEADING, 
UNDERWAY, AND THE SAME COLORS 
THEY WORE IN CHICAGO 61 DAYS 
AGO, THE UNITED STATES AND 
READ, MEXICO AND BLACK, IT IS A 
FRIENDLY AND NOT A FINAL, BUT 
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THEY ARE 
HALFWAY TOWARDS THE 2022 WORLD 
CUP, IN QATAR, QUALIFYING WILL 
BEGIN A YEAR FROM NOW, SO 
PLAYERS ARE TRYING TO  MAKE 
SURE THEY ARE PART OF THE PLANS 
OF THE RESPECTIVE FIRST-YEAR 
COACHES WHEN THE FINAL ROAD 
TOWARDS QATAR BEGINS.  
>> STU: ONE THING I'M NOTICING, 
WE TALK ABOUT GREGG BERHALTER,  
THE MIDFIELD THREE, PLAYING IN 
THIS PRESSURE, THE 4-4-2, AND 
YOU HAVE ALFREDO MORALES IN THE 
MIDDLE  DEALING WITH ANDRES 
GUARDADO. 
>> John: ONE OF THE PLAYERS NOT 
IN THE GOLD CUP IS OUT THERE 
TONIGHT, CYCLING IT BACK, EIGHT 
OF THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD 
WERE STARTERS IN THE GOLD CUP 
FINAL. 
SIX OF THEM OUT THERE FOR THE 
FIRST TIME, PLAYING IN THIS 
RIVALRY. 
AND RODRIGUEZ, A LONG RUN, THE 
RIGHT BACK, AND AARON LONG WAS 
THERE JUST IN TIME.  
>> STU: A DIFFERENT FEEL TO 
U.S. AND MEXICO, THE ENERGY IN 
THE CROWD, ON THE FIELD, THE 
INTENSITY, GOOD WORK THEREBY 
AARON LONG TO GET BACK. 
>> John: GETTING ACROSS THE WAY 
THERE, JORGE SANCHEZ.  
AND THE REIGNING MLS DEFENDER 
OF THE YEAR, PLAYING FOR THE 
NEW YORK RED BULLS. 
YESTERDAY, THEY SAID THEY NEED 
TO BE PATIENT, LOUD, CRAZY, 
STICK TO THE PLAN. 
THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO THAT TWO 
MONTHS AGO IN CHICAGO, AND THE 
FIRST FOUL OF THE NIGHT. 
>> STU: A BURST OF SPEED FROM 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  THE SLIDE 
PASS.
>> John: AND REGGIE CANNON,  
GETTING IT TO HECTOR MORENO,  
AND HECTOR HERRERA, DID NOT SEE 
THE FIELD  IN THE SEMIFINAL OR 
THE FINAL, MAKING THE MOVE TO 
TURKEY, BESIKTAS. 
>> STU: AN INTERESTING BATTLE 
TO WATCH, HECTOR HERRERA, WE 
SAW WHEN THEY PLAYED IN THE 
GOLD CUP, IT WAS  ALVAREZ, AND 
MEXICO HAD POSITION, AND IT 
LOOKS LIKE WESTON McKENNIE  IS 
FOLLOWING THEIR, HE IS 
FOLLOWING HERRERA AROUND THE 
FIELD. 
SO GREGG BERHALTER IS KEYING IN 
ON HIM,  MAKING SURE HE CAN'T 
BE PART OF THE BUILDUP FOR 
MEXICO.>> John: REGGIE CANNON, 
HIS SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL 
APPEARANCE,  A COUPLE OF 
PLAYERS WHO WON THEIR SPOT AS 
THE GOLD CUP WANT ALONG. 
-- WENT ALONG. POKED AWAY, 
SERGINO DEST,  DIDN'T PANIC, 
RECOVERING IT. 
AND GREGG BERHALTER TOLD US 
ABOUT  THAT YESTERDAY, CAN THEY 
CONTINUE TO PLAY THROUGH, NOT 
PANIC, GOING LONG, AND IN THE 
END, THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN 
THREE YEARS, ALFREDO MORALES.  
TYLER BOYD COULD NOT KEEP IT . 
CHICHARITO, HERRERA,  FINISHING 
THE MOVE TO ATLETICO MADRID. 
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. 
>> STU: THERE TENACIOUS. 
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 
FIELD. 
HE HAS TO GO OUT TO THE RIGHT, 
AND DROPPING IN, TWO OF THEM, 
THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DEAL WITH 
THAT. 
-- THEY ARE TENACIOUS.
>> John: JESUS MANUEL CORONA.  
OF THE BALL PLAYED OUT EARLY 
ON. 
STEW MAN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT 
GREGG BERHALTER TALKED ABOUT, 
THE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME,  
HE TOOK THE EASY OPTION, 
PLAYING MORE DIRECT. 
HE WANTS THEM TO HAVE A POINT 
OF EMPHASIS TO CONTINUE TO DO 
THAT, YOU MIGHT SEE SOME OF 
THOSE BALLS, THE ERRANT PASSES, 
BUT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO 
TRY TO FIND A WAY.>> John: AND 
THE BEILEIN, JORGE SANCHEZ, IT 
LOOKED LIKE IT WAS OFF  
CHICHARITO, THE  REFEREE IS 
STILL CONFERRING, IT HAS BEEN 
GIVEN AS A CORNER FOR MEXICO. 
>> STU: CHRISTIAN PULISIC, 
TRYING TO PASS  THE MAN OFF, 
OVER TO ALFREDO MORALES, AND 
SANCHEZ GETS  IN BEHIND, A 
CORNER TO MEXICO.>> John: 
ANDRES GUARDADO,  SANCHEZ. 
AND BACK OUTSIDE, THE CROSS 
INTO THE MIDDLE, OVER TO THE 
FAR SIDE, HERRERA, AND GYASI 
ZARDES WAS THERE,  A HANDBALL 
IN THE END ANYWAY. 
>> STU: WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?>> 
KATIE: SPECIFICALLY THE WAY IN 
WHICH THE SITE IS OPENING, THE 
LUXURY OF BEING ON THE NEAR 
SIDE, ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTIONS 
FROM GREGG BERHALTER ON WHERE 
TO BE AND WHEN. 
>> John: FASCINATING PLAYER, 
MAKING HIS INTERNATIONAL DEBUT 
AT THE AGE OF 18. 
AND ALEXI LALAS DESCRIBED IT, 
HE CAN STILL  PLAY FOR THE 
NETHERLANDS OR THE U.S. NOT A 
COMPETITIVE MATCH, AND THE 
NATIONS LEAGUE. 
WILL THERE BE A LOVE CONNECTION?
BORN TO A AMERICAN SERVICEMEN 
FATHER AND A DUTCH MOTHER. 
WAS TALKING YESTERDAY ABOUT THE 
PRIDE AND JOY PLAYING FOR THE 
U.S., HE SAID MIGHT TEAMMATES 
AND I, WINNING A STARTING SPOT, 
AND A QUALIFYING GAME, 
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE, HE
SHEEPISHLY SAID THAT HE PLAYED 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC ON FEE FOR.  
EXCITED TO PLAY WITH HIM. 
>> STU: THE CHAMPIONS THE 
QUALIFIER FOR AJAX, AND VERY 
VERSATILE, PLAY INSIDE AS WELL 
AS OUT, AND THE POSITION, 
FULLBACK, NOBODY IS GUARANTEED 
A SPOT, IT WILL BE INTERESTING 
TO SEE IF HE IS A LEGITIMATE 
OPTION AT LEFT BACK, AS WELL. 
WITH THAT RIGHT FOOT.
>> John: ALFREDO MORALES,  
WINNING THE BALL BACK. 
>> STU: SIX MINUTES FOR THE 
WAVE TO START TONIGHT.
>> John: DID YOU HAVE THAT ON 
YOUR BINGO CARD? 
[ LAUGHTER ] GREGG BERHALTER 
SAID THAT MEXICO IS A LITTLE 
AHEAD OF US.  
AND GERARDO MARTINO DID NOT 
DISAGREE.  
BUT ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS 
BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES. 
>> STU: ALFREDO MORALES, A GOOD 
START,  IN THE BUNDESLIGA, HIS 
ABILITY TO GET AROUND THE 
FIELD, MAKE TACKLES, AND A 
SECOND AGO, LOOKING TO FIND THE 
CROSS, THE FIRST COUPLE OF 
MINUTES HERE LOOKS PRETTY 
GOOD.>> John: AND THE DEFENDER, 
DIEGO REYES.  
BACK TO REGGIE CANNON.  
AND ALFREDO MORALES ABLE TO GET 
THERE FIRST.  
AND THE ANGLE FOR SERGINO DEST, 
AND TYLER BOYD.  
CHRISTIAN PULISIC , 1-V-2, IT 
PIN BALLS OFF HIM IN THE END. 
>> John: WE TALKED ABOUT 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  GREGG 
BERHALTER WAS EXCITED TO SEE 
HIS YOUNG STAR MAKE THE MOVE TO 
CHELSEA, $73 MILLION, PLAYED 
ALL FIVE GAMES IN ALL 
COMPETITIONS. 
AND FOR A GUY THAT HAS LED THE 
TEAM IN GOALS AND ASSISTS, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  TO GYASI 
ZARDES.  
>> John: CARLOS RODRIGUEZ.  
HEAVY TOUCH. 
AND THE BALL IS THERE, AND THEY 
JUST GOT AWAY WITH THAT ONE. 
>> STU: LOOK AT THAT.>> John: 
AND DIEGO REYES IS THERE JUST 
IN TIME.  
AN OPTION FOR SERGINO DEST, AND 
WESTON McKENNIE,  CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC, AND  SANCHEZ ON THE 
FAR SIDE. 
TYLER BOYD.  
AND THE GOLD CUP FINAL, THEY 
STARTED LIKE THIS BUT THEY 
COULDN'T SUSTAIN IT AND GET 
THAT GOAL. 
THE FIRST TOUCH, CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC, SANCHEZ DIVES AND.  
AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC HAS 4 
BLACKSHIRTS AROUND THEM,  
TRYING TO REDIRECT THE BALL 
BACK IN. 
>> STU: ONE THING THAT I'M 
LIKING FROM THE UNITED STATES 
IS THE WITH ON BOTH SIDES FROM 
THE FULLBACKS, THE DEEP 
POSITION, AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC 
CAN COME INSIDE AND MAKE RUNS. 
>> John: THAT MUST'VE BEEN ONE 
OF THE LONGEST SPELLS FOR THE 
U.S. EVER AGAINST MEXICO. 
>> STU: THE LITTLE COMBINATION 
BETWEEN WIL TRAPP AND WALKER 
ZIMMERMAN,  CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  
AND SERGINO DEST.  
COMPOSURE ON THE BALL, MAKING 
THE RIGHT PASSES. 
DOING THE DEFENDING AND RUNNING 
WITHOUT THE BALL.>> John:

AS WELL. 
>> John: HE TRIES, AND A SAVE 
IN THE END BY JONATHAN OROZCO,  
THE BALL WAS MOVING, AND HE 
COULDN'T GET THERE. 
>> STU: HE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT 
NERVOUS ON HIS DEBUT, DOESN'T 
HE? 
[ LAUGHTER ]>> John: TREND 25 
ON THE RUN, AND AARON LONG 
COMES ACROSS.  
TRYING TO STEP OUT. 
-- CHICHARITO ON THE RUN.  
AS MUCH AS MEXICO WON THE GAME 
1-0, THE BEST CHANCES OF THE 
GAME FOR THE U.S., ABLE TO 
CREATE GOOD LOOKS, CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC HAD ONCE SAVED,  HAVING 
ONE SAVED OFF THE LINE BY 
ANDRES GUARDADO IN THE SECOND 
HALF, THEY JUST COULDN'T GET 
THAT GOAL TO GO IN.  
AND GREGG BERHALTER, TRYING TO 
TAKE THE GOOD THINGS THAT THEY 
DID AND BUILD ON THEM,  KEEP IT 
ROLLING, PICK UP WHERE THEY 
LEFT OFF. 
>> STU: A DIFFERENT TEAM, THE 
FIRST TEAM THAT WAS THE CASE, 
BUT IN THE SECOND HALF THEY 
WERE PLAYED OFF THE PART, AND 
HE'S AWARE OF THAT, WE ARE 15 
MINUTES AND, THE U.S. IS HAVE 
-- IS HAVING A GOOD SPELL, BUT 
IT'S ONLY 15 MINUTES, THE 
DIFFERENCES TONIGHT, THEY ARE 
USING THE BALL MUCH BETTER, FOR 
MEXICO, THEY CAN'T GET PRESSURE 
ON THE BALL, YOU START TO GET 
TIRED, AND STOP CLOSING THE 
ANGLES AS MUCH, AND THEN DROP A 
LITTLE BIT DEEPER.>> John: 
TRYING TO RECOVER, A LITTLE BIT 
LATE INTO THAT BALL IN THE 
MIDDLE. 
AND RUNNING OUT, ABLE TO GET 
THERE AND TRY TO USE HIS 
STRENGTH, A FOUL CALLED BY THE 
ASSISTANT REFEREE, HE WILL NEED 
A MOMENT.
>> [ CHEERING ] [ BOOING ]

CONCERN, WITH THE TRAINING 
STAFF, GREGG BERHALTER,  THE 
TEAMMATES ARE COMING OVER TO 
WHERE HE REMAINS DOWN.

THE RUN FROM CHRISTIAN PULISIC, 
THIS BASE, HE COMES IN SILENCES 
WYNOT, I WILL HAVE A SHOT FROM 
THERE, AND CHICHARITO GETTING  
CAUGHT UP WITH SERGINO DEST, A 
BIT OF BINOCULARS HIT TO THE 
FACE, HOLDING HIS I  -- EYE.
>> John: ANDRES GUARDADO, 
WORKING HIS WAY THROUGH  THE 
YOUTH. SERGINO DEST, WORKING 
HIS WAY THROUGH THE  AJAX YOUTH 
TEAM. 
IN HIS CAREER IN THIS MOMENT, 
THEY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 
THAT. 
DRAWING THE CONTACT. 
AND A BIT OF A THROUGH OF THE

OF THE BEST IN THE GLOBAL GAME. 
THE TIMING AND EXECUTION, 
MEXICO HAS THE LEAD.

GOLD CUP, AND MEXICO'S ALL-TIME 
GHOSTLY RECORD, 52, 2 AGAINST 
THE UNITED STATES. 
JUST THIS WEEK, PLAYING FOR 
SEVERE, THE MOVE -- SEVILLA, 
AND WEST HAM. 
ALL OF THE GOOD PLAY BY THE 
UNITED STATES WAS WIPED AWAY 
WITH THAT ONE MOMENT. 
YOU CAN SEE FRUSTRATION IN THE 
BODY LANGUAGE.

PLAYBACK, WE ARE 2-V-1 GOD 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC IS FORCING  
THEM BACK, AND HE ROSE INTO HIS 
RIGHT, AND TAKES THEM TO THE 
CLEANERS, AND THEN IT IS

TO PLAY OF THE LINE.  
HE STAYS THERE. 
-- UP THE LINE. 
WESTON McKENNIE, THE CAPTAIN IN 
THE GOLD CUP FINAL,  TURNED 21 
LAST WEEK, TALK ABOUT A GUY THAT
IS GETTING HIS BREAKTHROUGH, 
SCORING IN THE SEMIFINAL, THEY 
WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS HIS 
MOMENT, IT FAILED, HE STRUGGLED 
IN THE GAME, THE PRESSURE OF 
WEARING THE ARMBAND, AND 
HERRERA, CUTTING IT BACK. 
AND AGAIN, SOME SPACE, AND 
BASED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 
>> STU: THEY ARE GETTING SO 
MUCH SPACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
>> John: A CHANCE FOR THE U.S., 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC, SANCHEZ 
TRYING TO RUN WITH THEM, AND HE 
DOES.  
>> John: JUST SORT OF PART OF 
THE JOURNEY IN THE STORY, YOU 
LEARN FROM THE SETBACKS, CAN 
YOU BE BETTER NEXT TIME, 
LOOKING FOR THE FOUL THERE. 
PLAYING HIS 50th BUNDESLIGA 
GAME ALREADY, A KEY COG FOR THE 
U.S. GOING FORWARD. 
>> John: COVERAGE TONIGHT 
SPONSORED BY AT&T. 
THE OPENING 15 MINUTES OR SO, 
VERY PROMISING FOR THE U.S., 
BUT FIVE MINUTES AGO, MEXICO 
WITH THE BREAKTHROUGH, JESUS 
MANUEL CORONA  TO CHICHARITO.  
AND WE TALK ABOUT THE U.S., THE 
GAME, A PLAN HAS BEEN MADE BY 
GERARDO MARTINO,  ONCE THE 
CHAMIZAL HE GOES, THE YOUNGER 
PLAYERS, THIS MIGHT BE A CHANCE 
FOR ONE OF THE SENIOR FIGURES 
TO PLAY FOR THE REST OF THE 
YEAR. 
AND NOW WESTON McKENNIE, I 
GETTING AWAY FROM ANDRES 
GUARDADO,  A COUPLE OF OPTIONS 
IN FRONT OF HIM. 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC, THE FAR 
SIDE,  AND THE ADVANTAGE BEING 
PLAYED, AS HE IS FOUND BEHIND 
THE PLAY. 
TYLER BOYD,  WORKING ON ANDRES 
GUARDADO,  LAUNCHES THE CROSS, 
AND WIL TRAPP,  WESTON 
McKENNIE, WAS TRYING TO GET IT 
BACK, IT WAS CLEARED AWAY.  
THE REFEREE WITH A BIT OF A 
SCREEN, TREND 20 GETS IT BACK, 
AND THEY ARE EXCHANGING WORDS. 
>> STU: WHAT WE ARE SEEING FROM 
MEXICO, A LITTLE BIT OF A 
ADJUSTMENT BY COACH MARTINO IN 
THE MIDFIELD,  DROPPING ANDRES 
GUARDADO A LITTLE BIT LOWER, SO 
HE SPLITS THE TRIANGLE IN THE 
MIDFIELD,  HE'S ALONGSIDE 
HERRERA, AND GIVING THEM MORE 
OF A NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE IN THE 
MIDFIELD ONCE AGAIN, THIS HAD 
MUCH MORE SUCCESS IN THE 
BUILDUP. 
AND WHY UNITED STATES ON THE 
OTHER SIDE, PRESSING, AND 
SOMEBODY IN THE MIDFIELD IN THE 
U.S., ONE OF THE WINGERS HAS TO 
DROP IN, DROPPING A LITTLE BIT 
DEEPER, TYLER BOYD, TO BE AN 
OPTION IN THAT AREA.  
THE WAY ANDRES GUARDADO IS  
DROPPING AND INTERCHANGING. 
THE U.S. IS STRUGGLING WITH.>> 
John: THIS PARTICULAR MIDFIELD 
GROUPING, THE ADVANTAGE THERE, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  THE BENEFIT 
OF THE FOUL CALL THERE. 
>> John: YET TO REGISTER GOES 
AGAINST MEXICO IN HIS U.S. 
CAREER. 
>> STU: HERE COMES RODRIGUEZ, 
ONE OF THE MIDFIELDERS, 
PRESSING ON ZACK STEFFEN, SIDE 
TO SIDE,  AND NOW TYLER BOYD, 
WE BARELY SAID HIS NAME,  NOT 
INVOLVED IN THE PLAY AT ALL.
>> John: DOWN HOLDING HIS LEG, 
AND RUNNING OUT A MOMENT AGO, A 
GIVEAWAY THERE. 
AND STILL NOT CLEARED, ANDRES 
GUARDADO, STEPPING INTO  MARKET 
AWAY, CHRISTIAN PULISIC  MIGHT 
BE OFF AND RUNNING, JONATHAN 
OROZCO THROWING HIS BODY AND,  
DIEGO REYES IS THE DEFENDER,  A 
LOT OF CONTACT FOR THE REFEREE 
TO TRY TO SORT OUT. 
AND MEXICO MAY HAVE GOTTEN THAT 
FOR THE BETTER. 
>> STU: TRYING TO FIGURE OUT 
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE PLAY, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  HE GOES, 
AGAINST JONATHAN OROZCO,  AND I 
THINK IT WAS DIEGO REYES ALL 
OVER HIS BACK, BUT NO FOUL ON 
THE PLAY. 
>> John: DEFINITELY A STRONG 
SWIRLING WHEN IN THE STADIUM, A 
STORMY DAY, THE REMNANTS OF 
HURRICANE DORIAN, YOU HAVE THE 
GRASS LAID ON TOP OF THE TURF 
SURFACE, YOU CAN GET SOME ODD 
SORT OF BOUNCES, YOU SAW BOTH 
OF THOSE AND PLAY RIGHT THERE. 
AND IT IS CUT OUT BY TYLER 
BOYD,  AND A FOUL THERE. 
HE KNEW HE WAS COMING. 
AND HE'S BARKING TO THE 
REFEREE, THINKING HE IS NOT 
GETTING THE CALLS. 
>> STU: AND KITTY WOULD YOU 
HAVE?>> Kenny: THEY SAID WHAT 
THEY WERE DOING SO WELL THAT 
THEY NEED TO GET BACK TO IS ONE 
OVERWHELMING -- TO IS 
OVERWHELMING MEXICO, BRINGING 
NUMBERS TO THE BALL AND LOOK TO 
BRAKE LINES.>> John: THE 
ASSISTANT TO GREGG BERHALTER . 
>> John: KEEPING THE BALL IN 
PLAY, AND THE PAST. 
-- PASS. 
>> John: GOING AROUND ONE, AND 
HE TIPS IT OVER. 
>> STU: CARLOS RODRIGUEZ OFF 
THE FIRST TOUCH.
>> John: THE U.S. WAS LET OFF 
BIG TIME. 
>> STU: JUST LIKE A LINE, 
WAITING, FOR THIS PASS, AND 
WESTON McKENNIE ROSA BACK, HE 
DOESN'T GET ENOUGH ON IT,  AND 
JUST A LITTLE BIT OFF BALANCE, 
AND ZACK STEFFEN, AND IT WAS 
INITIALLY RODRIGUEZ, TRYING TO 
BEND IT TO THE FAR POST.  
A BIG CHANCE MISSED FOR MEXICO.
>> John: IF YOUR INSTINCT IS TO 
STOP DOING THAT, PLAY MORE 
DIRECT AND LONGER, IF YOUR 
COACH IS TELLING YOU, STICK TO 
THE PLAN, WHAT DID YOU AS A 
PLAYER? 
>> STU: YOU NEED TO HAVE 
COMPOSURE IN THOSE MOMENTS. 
A GOOD FIRST TOUCH, WESTON 
McKENNIE  HESITATED, IT'S ABOUT 
MOVING, ABOUT GETTING NUMBERS 
ON THE BALL, HAVING OPTIONS, IF 
THE PLAYER HAS NO OPTIONS TO 
PASS, YOU CAN MAKE THE WRONG 
DECISION, THE USS TO LEARN THAT.
MAKING DECISIONS UNDER PRESSURE 
BUT JUST NOW, FOR LONG., AGAINST
THAT COMPETITION. 
-- THE U.S. NEEDS TO LEARN THAT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GOING 
TO LEARN RIGHT?
>> John: WALKER ZIMMERMAN,  A 
SIMILAR SITUATION WITH LA FC, 
HIS WILLINGNESS TO TAKE MORE 
RISKS, BE MORE BRAVE, AND HE 
SAID THE COACH WOULD NEVER GET 
MAD IF YOU TAKE THE RIGHT, 
PROPER DECISION. 
AND ALFREDO MORALES, A LATE  
COLLISION, TREND 20 THROWN TO 
THE TURF. 
-- HECTOR HERRERA . THERE ARE 
NO FRIENDLY'S BETWEEN THESE 
TEAMS, THERE IS NOTHING 
FRIENDLY. 
[ LAUGHTER ] -- FRIENDLIES. 
ABLE TO CONTROL IT. 
AND HE'S JUST HAD TO DO WITH 
THAT BALL IN THAT CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC WAS CHASING DOWN A FEW 
MINUTES AGO.  
-- DEAL WITH THAT BALL. 
>> John: TRYING TO FIND A PASS 
TO WESTON McKENNIE, LONG, AND  
JUST A TOUCH, AND IT IS A WAY 
FOR TECATITO.  
AND 10 MINUTES TO GO IN THE 
FIRST HALF, THE CROSS TO THE 
MIDDLE. 
>> STU: THAT WAS AWKWARD, DID 
JUST ENOUGH TO GET RID OF IT, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC  LOST 
CONTROL, HE IS FURIOUS, 
WHISTLES FOR FOLLOWING DIEGO 
REYES.  
-- FOULING DIEGO REYES.  
HE DEFINITELY TAKES THEM OUT 
AFTER THE PLAY, INTENTIONAL OR 
NOT, GOT THEIR LEGS TANGLED UP. 
AND SOME FRUSTRATION CREEPING 
IN FOR THE U.S. PLAYERS.
>> John: IT DOES FEEL LIKE THAT.
PLANNED -- LOOKING FOR AARON 
LONG, AND MEXICO IS RIGHT BACK 
ON IT . THE BENEFIT OF THE U.S.
, CONTINUING ON, TECATITO,  THE 
SECOND TIME, AND TECATITO, A 
MS. HIT  BALL JUST BEYOND 
RODRIGUEZ THERE. 
-- A MISHIT BALL.  GREAT WORK 
BY CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  WESTON 
McKENNIE, AND  CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC  ON THE OVERLAP. 
AND FEELING IT RIGHT NOW, IS 
THERE AN PRODUCT, INTO THE 
MIDDLE, ALFREDO MORALES.  
HE COULD NOT HIT THE TARGET 
WITH THE OUTSIDE OF HIS RIGHT 
FOOT. 
GREAT PLAY BY CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC.  
>> STU: STARTING AT MIDFIELD. 
THEY SPIN OUT OF THAT ONE, THE 
OVERLAPPING RUN FOR WESTON 
McKENNIE,  4 MEXICAN PLAYERS 
TRYING TO CLOSE THEM DOWN. 
AND ANDRES GUARDADO,  AND A 
GOOD MOMENT OF TRANSITION, BUT 
ALL BECAUSE OF CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC,  CREATING SOMETHING 
OUT OF NOTHING THERE, WITH HIS 
SPEED AND TECHNIQUE.
>> John: THE U.S. WAS PRESSING 
MAN FOR MAN, AS WELL. 
>> John: FINING THE FEET OF 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  THE FLAG UP.
IS THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE 
TONIGHT IN THE WIDE ROLE VERSUS 
THE MIDDLE. 
>> STU: WHAT I LIKE IS THAT 
WHEN THEY HAVE POSSESSION, 
SERGINO DEST CAN GET IN THE 
ATTACK AND THAT  KEEPS 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC WIDE, AND A 
BIG PART OF THE GOLD CUP,  
COMING INSIDE, ALLOWING 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC TO GO WIDE.  
I THINK ALLOWING A PLAYER LIKE 
HIM TO HAVE THE FREEDOM AND THE 
OFFENSE, BUT DEFENSIVELY 
TUCKING IN, KNOWING HIS PLACE 
AS A LEFT-WINGER, DOING SOME 
WORK, AND ALLOWING HIM TO FIND 
THE GAME AND FIND THE MOMENTS 
THAT CAN CHANGE THE GAME FOR 
THE UNITED STATES.
>> John: JUST BEYOND WESTON 
McKENNIE, IT LOOKED PROMISING 
THERE FOR A MOMENT . 
>> John: WIDE, AND OUT. 
>> John: ROBERTO ALVARADO.  
ABLE TO KNOCK IT AWAY. 
AND BACK IN ACTION A WEEK FROM 
SUNDAY, LA GALAXY, SPORTING 
KANSAS CITY, CAN BE PULLED OFF, 
A BIG GAME TOMORROW NIGHT, 
PORTLAND, AND THE INTERNATIONAL 
BREAK, TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS 
OF THE LA GALAXY, AND A TUNEUP, 
LOOKING FORWARD TO CHANGING OUR 
SCHEDULE. 
THE HOME GAME FOR SOME OF US. 
THE EMLA SEASON GETS DOWN TO 
THE NEEDY GRITTY, SOME FUN 
PLAYOFF STUFF. 
>> STU: TYLER BOYD, 40 TOUCHES, 
SECOND LEAST ON THE TEAM,  THE 
LEAST HAVE BEEN GYASI ZARDES, 
BUT  TYLER BOYD, HE WAS THE 
PLAYER, YOU ASKED ME WHO I 
THOUGHT HAD A LOT TO GAIN AND 
POTENTIALLY A LOT TO LOSE,  HE 
FELL OUT OF FAVOR UNDER GREGG 
BERHALTER IN THE LAST  2 GOLD 
CUP GAMES, AFTER SCORING 2 AND 
HIS COMPETITIVE DEBUT, HE HAS 
STRUGGLED TO FIND A WAY TO 
IMPACT THE GAME.>> John: SOME 
OPTIONS FOR ANDRES GUARDADO,  
CARLOS RODRIGUEZ PICKING IT UP. 
AND THE GAME SITUATIONS, GREGG 
BERHALTER TRYING TO PLAY IT 
DOWN.  
AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN, WITH THE 
INJURIES, THE TORN ACL, LAST 
YEAR. 
>> John: JUST THE FOURTH 
INTERNATIONAL APPEARANCE. 
AND OVER-THE-TOP, TRYING TO 
RECOVER, AND A QUESTION ASKED 
BY ANDRES GUARDADO. 
>> [ CHEERING ] 
>> John: COMING OVER OFF THE 
BALL, PULISIC  CHASING SANCHEZ, 
THEY WERE EXCHANGING WORDS. 
THE PLAYERS ARE CHIRPING AT ONE 
ANOTHER, WE MENTIONED, THE 
REFEREES, REFERRING TO BIG 
GAMES, TRYING TO MANAGE THIS IS 
MUCH AS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE 
FIRST HALF. 
-- AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
>> John: TYLER BOYD TRYING TO 
BRING IT DOWN, USING HIS ARMS.  
HE'S UPSET BECAUSE HE SAID HE 
GOT AN ELBOW IN THAT SEQUENCE. 
THE HALFTIME REPORT, OUR 
FRIENDS ON THE FIELD, IN -- IAN 
AND MORE. 
>> John: GOOD WORK THERE, 
ALFREDO MORALES.  
>> KATIE: GREGG BERHALTER IS 
ANALYZING HIS TEAM SHAPE,  BUMS 
AGO HE SAID TO HIS COACHING 
STAFF, WE ARE GETTING TOO 
STRETCHED IN THE MIDFIELD, TOO 
MUCH OF A GAP FROM THE FRONT 
LINE TO THE MIDFIELD. 
>> STU: THAT'S WHAT WE WERE 
TALKING ABOUT WITH TYLER BOYD 
CUPPING  -- COMING DEEPER. 
HE ENDS UP DROPPING DEEP, AND 
SO DOES ALFREDO MORALES,  
WALKER ZIMMERMAN HAS BEEN IN 
THE SITUATION,  CAN'T EVEN 
TOUCH -- COUNT THE NUMBER OF 
TIMES, WHEN HE HAS JUST TOUCH 
THE BALL, HAD NO OPTIONS, 
LOOPING IT OVER THE TOP, THEY 
KEEP LOSING POSSESSION. 
THEY STARTED WELL, A GOOD 
UNDERSTANDING AND RHYTHM, THAT 
HAS QUICKLY CHANGED, BEFORE AND 
AFTER THE GOAL, IT HAS BEEN ALL 
MEXICO.
>>  John: YOU CAN SEE THE 
FRUSTRATION THERE ON WALKER 
ZIMMERMAN'S FACE AFTER THAT 
SEQUENCE.  
SIX SUBSTITUTIONS AVAILABLE 
TONIGHT, WE WILL SEE HOW THE 
SECOND HALF LOOKS DIFFERENT, 
THE U.S., UNLIKE 61 DAYS AGO, 
CAN THEY GET BETTER AS THE GAME 
GOES ON, I CAN THEY MAKE THOSE 
ADJUSTMENTS GOING INTO THE 
SECOND HALF? 
-- AS THE GAME GOES ON. 
CAN THEY MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS?
AND A SHOT BY CHICHARITO, THERE 
MIGHT BE A YELLOW CARD HERE. 
>> [ CHEERING ] 
>> STU: THEY ARE GOING TO GET 
AARON LONG.  
I THINK AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT 
WAS CHRISTIAN PULISIC.  
BUT IT WASN'T. 
THE FIRST TOUCHBACK THERE. 
AND MAYBE IT WAS CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC, NOT ENTIRELY SURE. 
>> John: A COUPLE OF MINUTES 
STILL TO GO IN THE HALF, A LOUD 
SHOUT BY CHICHARITO.  
UNDER THE CONTACT. 
AND IT'S STARTING TO SIMMER A 
LITTLE BIT, PROBABLY HE FELT IT 
NEEDED A YELLOW CARD, TO DRAW 
THE LINE SOMEWHERE. 
-- TYLER BOYD, ALONGSIDE 
ALFREDO MORALES, CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC,  AND ALFREDO MORALES 
MADE A FOUL TRYING TO WIN IT  
BACK. 
>> STU: FROM A U.S. 
PERSPECTIVE, AN INCREDIBLY 
FRUSTRATING SECOND PART OF THE 
FIRST HALF, CAN'T GET A HOLD OF 
ALL, CAN'T GET PRESSURE ON THE 
BALL, WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO 
GET PRESSURE, THEY ARE 
COMMITTING FOULS, AND IT IS 
ADDING UP, SO WHAT DOES GREGG 
BERHALTER DO?  
MAY BE A PERSONAL CHANGE, JOSH 
SERGEANT, DO YOU TRUST SOME OF 
THE YOUNGER PLAYERS. 
EMPOWER THEM TO HAVE AN 
OPPORTUNITY. 
WE WILL SEE. 
BUT CERTAINLY CHANGES NEED TO 
BE MADE FOR THE TEAM, 
TACTICALLY OR ON THE PERSONAL 
SIDE.>> John: A GOAL BY 
CHICHARITO, A NUTMEG,  AND THAT 
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 
TEAMS AS THEY HEAD TO THE 
LOCKER ROOM, LET'S GET THE 
THOUGHTS OF GREGG BERHALTER. 
>> KATIE: WHAT WAS YOUR 
ASSESSMENT OF THE FIRST 45? 
>> I THINK THE FIRST 20 MINUTES 
WAS OKAY, BALL MOVEMENT WAS 
GOOD. 
THEY ARE BRINGING PRESSURE, NOW 
WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE 
ARE GOING TO PLAY. 
I THINK WE'VE DONE A DECENT JOB 
BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.>> 
KATIE: APPRECIATE THE TIME.
>> John: WE WILL GO BACK TO THE 
FIELD, FOR THEIR THOUGHTS, 45 
MINUTES TO GO,
>>> HALFTIME IS SPONSORED BY 
AT&T. 
WILL COME BACK TO METLIFE 
STADIUM, 1-0 HALFTIME FOR 
MEXICO, LET'S GET YOU STRAIGHT 
TO THE HIGHLIGHTS. 
IT STARTED WELL FOR TIM HOWARD, 
HONORED BY U.S. SOCCER 
PRESIDENT CARLOS CORDERO, A 
WONDERFUL MOMENT FOR TIM HOWARD.
>> THE U.S. STARTED BRIGHTLY, 
GETTING NUMBERS FORWARD, WE 
TALKED ABOUT GETTING FORWARD 
AND TREATING THAT SPACE, I GET 
THE SHOT OFF, A GOOD SAVE THEIR 
BYE JONATHAN OROZCO,  IT LOOKS 
LIKE A GOOD START FOR THE U.S., 
BUT 18 YEARS OLD, IT DOESN'T 
MEAN THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE 
PLENTY TO LEARN, HE GETS CUT 
OUT WIDE, TECATITO WILL FIND 
WAYS  TO GET YOU, YOU HAVE TO 
TAKE THEM DOWN, THEY WILL MAKE 
YOU PAY, AND CHICHARITO IN THE 
BACK OF THE NET .>> 
OPPORTUNITIES LATER IN THE 
GAME, A POOR GIVEAWAY BY WESTON 
McKENNIE,  A POOR GIVEAWAY 
THERE. 
A SWING AND A MISS. 
AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2-0.
>> IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BUT 1-
0, YOU GUYS WATCHING THE GAME, 
AND ALEXI LALAS , YOU ARE 
CLEARLY FRUSTRATED.>> HE IS 
TRYING TO PAINT THE SISTINE 
CHAPEL WITH CRAYONS, I'M NOT 
COMPLETELY AGAINST IT, HE'S A 
BIT OF A ROMANTIC WITH THIS WAY 
OF PLAYING OUT FOR THE BACK, 
BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MIX 
IT UP AND DEAL WITH THE 
PRESSURE, HE WANTS TO DO WITH 
THE PRESSURE, THEY ARE GIVING 
THE BALL AWAY, IN A DANGEROUS 
POSITION. 
>> WHY ARE THEY NOT DEALING 
WITH PRESSURE? 
A LOT OF NERVOUSNESS?>> IT IS A 
WORK IN PROGRESS, IN ORDER TO 
DO IT, YOU HAVE TO MAKE 
MISTAKES.
>> THEY LIKE TO PLAY OUT AS 
WELL, MEXICO, BUT WHEN IT 
DOESN'T WORK, THEY ARE NOT 
AFRAID HIT THE LONG HAUL, AND 
-- THE LONG BALL. GET THEM UP 
THE PITCH, HIT A LONG BALL, 
ATTACK FROM HIGHER UP THE PITCH 
AND GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE.
>> WE ARE TRYING TO PLAY TO 
PRETTY, CLIP BALLS IN THE 
MIDFIELD. 
>> IT CAN'T BE ALL ABOUT 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC, HE'S TRYING 
TO DO THINGS BY HIMSELF,  AND 
SOMETIMES HE GETS CLOSE, BUT 
THEY NEED MORE FROM EVERYBODY 
UP TOP, GYASI ZARDES,  GREGG 
BERHALTER HAS TO MAKE CHANGES,  
THIS IS WHERE THE COACH THAT HE 
IS SHOWS. 
>> AND THE FIRST 45 MINUTES, 
CHICHARITO,  THE FIRST

MILES ROBINSON, THE ATLANTA 
UNITED DEFENDER, NOT MAKING 
THAT SUBSTITUTE JUST YET, THE 
SAME 11 THAT STARTED THE GAME 
OR ON THE FIELD, MEXICO SLOWLY 
MAKING THEIR WAY, SOME OF THEM 
AT LEAST, OUT TO THE TUNNEL. 
SOME OF THE COMMENTS THERE, 
GREGG BERHALTER AT THE END OF 
THE HALF, THE GOLD CUP FINAL, 
THE FIRST AND  SECOND HALF WERE 
SO DIFFERENT, THE U.S. GOT 
OVERRUN, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO 
SEE IN THE SECOND HALF? 
>> I WANT TO SEE FROM THE U.S. 
PERSPECTIVE, THEY CAN BREAK THE 
PRESSURE, THEY CAN FIGURE IT 
OUT. 
AND LISTENING TO ALEXI LALAS  
AND MO, THIS IS U.S. AND MEXICO,
YOU WANT TO WIN, YOU SHOULD 
EXPECT TO WIN, AND TRY TO WIN, 
AND YOU WANT TO PROGRESS THE 
GROUP, TEACH LESSONS, LEARN THE 
HARD WAY AT TIMES, ARE WE GOING 
TO SEE ONE OF THE POINTS IN THE 
GAME WHEN THE U.S. STARTS TO 
PLAY MORE DIRECT, THEY CHANGE 
UP THE WAY THEY PLAY, OR 
STICKING WITH THE WAY THE 
ENTIRE 90 MINUTES, AND END UP 
LOSING 3-0.
>> John: ONLY ONCE HAS THE U.S. 
TRAILED AND BEAT MEXICO, 2007 
GOLD CUP FINAL, CAN THE U.S. DO 
THAT AGAIN? 
HISTORY FROM 61 DAYS AGO, WILL 
REPEAT ITSELF, NO CHANGES FOR 
EITHER SIDE, CHICHARITO,  THE 
BIT OF DIFFERENCE. 
THE 70th ALL-TIME MEETING, 1934 
BEGINNING THE RIVALRY. 
AND TRYING TO WIN IT BACK IS 
ALFREDO MORALES.  
AND WIL TRAPP ON  CHICHARITO,  
REGGIE CANNON,  THEY WILL WAIT 
FOR IT. 
REGGIE CANNON.  
AND THEY WANTED THE THROUGH

BACK TO WALKER ZIMMERMAN.

NOW TYLER BOYD ON THE OVERLAP.  
HE IS SHOUTING FOR A HANDBALL. 
AND BACK BY THE U.S., WESTON 
McKENNIE,  AND CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC, CUTS INSIDE,  WESTON 
McKENNIE, STOPPED BY ANDRES 
GUARDADO.  
>> STU: A REALLY GOOD MOVE BY 
THE UNITED STATES, A GOOD START 
BY THE UNITED STATES, TYLER 
BOYD HAD MORE  TIME OF THE BALL 
THAN THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF. 
PUTTING THE BALL OUT WIDE.
>> John: WESTON McKENNIE 
KNOCKING IT DOWN,  GYASI 
ZARDES,  RESETTING IT. 
A LOT OF FANS ARE FINDING THEIR 
SEATS AFTER THE HALFTIME. 
NOT THE SAME ENERGY RIGHT NOW. 
>> John: WESTON McKENNIE.  
>> John: UNABLE TO KEEP THE 
BALL IN PLAY, POKES IT AWAY, 
ALVARADO. 
AND THEY NEED AN ATTEMPT AT 
GOAL. 
TECATITO,  CHRISTIAN PULISIC, A 
CROSSAN, RODRIGUEZ TRIED TO GET 
TO A,  DEFENSIVELY, BACK THE 
OTHER WAY FOR A FOUL. 
-- GET TO IT. 
ANOTHER ONE OF THE YOUNGSTERS 
COMING THROUGH FOR MEXICO, HIS 
NINTH APPEARANCE. 
THE GENERATIONAL TURNOVER, JUST 
A LOT MORE EXHILARATED AND 
DRAMATIC IN THE U.S., OF COURSE.

>> John: LOOKING FOR GYASI 
ZARDES,  AND DIEGO REYES 
WINNING THE  HEADER. 
>> STU: TYLER BOYD DROP DOWN, 
BRINGING A DEFENDER WITH HIM, 
THAT OPENS THE SPACE FOR THE 
RUN  IN BEHIND.
>> John: AND MORENO IS SLOW TO 
GET UP . PICKING UP AN INJURY 
RIGHT BEFORE THE GOLD CUP. 
-- HECTOR MORENO.  
HERE FOR ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL 
APPEARANCE.
'S 10th CAREER GAME AGAINST 
UNITED STATES. 
>> STU: WHAT DID GREGG 
BERHALTER HAVE TO SAY AFTER THE 
BREAK? 
>> KATIE: KEEP GOING, A LOT OF 
POSITIVITY, WITH A LOT OF 
TACTICS, SPECIFICALLY BEING 
OUTNUMBERED IN THE MIDFIELD, 
AND THE OVERLAPPING FULLBACKS, 
I ASKED HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT OF 
THE PARTNERSHIP OUT WIDE ON THE 
WING.>> John: AND ONLY AS FAR AS
JESUS GALLARDO. 
>> Kenny: WHAT I THOUGHT -- 
WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE 
PARTNERSHIP OF CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC, AND  GYASI ZARDES, HE 
LIKES THE TENACITY,  BUT HE 
WANTS IT TO BE A BIT MORE 
AGGRESSIVE, MORE HESITANT.
>> John: GETTING THAT 
RESPONDING TO THAT. 
>> STU: STUNNED FOR COUPLE OF 
MINUTES, AS YOU LOOK BACK AS AN 
18-YEAR-OLD, IT IS A LEARNING 
MOMENT, YOU PLAY ON A TEAM, IN 
AJAX, YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THAT 
HE'S ONLY HAD A FIRST-TEAM  
APPEARANCE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, 
AND PLAYING FOR A TEAM IN AJAX, 
THEY HAVE A LOT OF POSSESSION, 
THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET A LOT OF 
PRESSURE,  THIS IS A BIG GAME, 
A BIG MOMENT FOR HIM TO 
CONTINUE HIS GROWTH AS A 
PLAYER. 
AND THAT TYPE OF MATURITY, AND 
WE WILL SEE IF THEY HAVE A 
RESPONSE IN THE SECOND HALF.>> 
John: TELLING US YESTERDAY, 
HOPING TO GET MORE ON THE 
FIELD, JOSH ARGENT -- JOSH 
SERGEANT. 
>> John: JESUS GALLARDO HITTING 
IT AWAY,  LOOKING FOR GYASI 
ZARDES,  TOO FAR FOR HIM. 
THEY HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TO DO 
SINCE THE EARLY SAVES, JUST THE 
NINTH ACTUAL APPEARANCE FOR 
MEXICO, THE INTERNATIONAL 
CAREER GOING ABOUT A DECADE. 
AND AMONG OTHERS, YOU CAN 
ACTUALLY SEE THE FIELD THERE. 
THE FIRST CAREER GAME AGAINST 
THE U.S. 
>> John: A LOT OF THE FANS OF

FEEDING OFF OF THE INTENSITY OF 
THE FIRST HALF, WAITING FOR 
SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT

CHICHARITO, THEY MIGHT HAVE 
BEEN  TEAMMATES, TO WEST HAM, 
AND CHICHARITO RECENTLY JUST 
MADE A MOVE TO  SEVILLA.
>> John: HE WANTED TO MAKE THE 
MOVE, THE WINDOW ONLY OPEN FOR

COMING BACK FROM THE GOLD CUP,

>> STU: EVEN THAT LAST 
MISPLACED PASS, GREGG BERHALTER 
TURNED IN FRUSTRATION TO HIS 
BENCH. 
LOOKING TO  MIX UP THAT 
PARTNERSHIP. 
TALKING ABOUT HIS STATS.>> John:
A FOUL ON THE FIELD. 
>> STU: FIRST TIME BALL, AND 
LOOK HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO 
SPREAD THE FIELD THERE. 
SOMETIMES IF YOU TAKE YOUR EYE 
OFF THE BALL, IT TAKES AN 
AWKWARD HOP ON THE TURF.
>> John: ALFREDO MORALES.  
>> John: THE GOLD CUP, THAT 
STARTING GROUP, LOSING THAT 
POSITION HALFWAY THROUGH, THE 
SEMIFINAL AND THE FINAL, AND 
ONE OF THE PLAYERS NOT IN THE 
U.S. CAMP. 
AND HERRERA THERE, AND ALFREDO 
MIRELES, HERE WE GO, U.S. AND 
MEXICO! 
-- ALFREDO MORALES.  
>> STU: ALFREDO MORALES HAS 
BEEN IN THE MIX FROM THE 1st 
MINUTE,  AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC 
IS IN THERE.  
EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ON THE 
FIELD RIGHT NOW, IS IN THIS 
LITTLE SCRUM. 
AND TRYING TO SETTLE THIS GAME 
DOWN A LITTLE BIT, IS TOUGH FOR 
THE REFEREE, AGUILAR.
>> John: WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK 
BACK, ALWAYS SOMETHING 
HAPPENING. 
>> STU: HE MAKES CONTACT WITH 
HIS HANDS TO HIS FACE. 
>> STU: AND HE'S REACTING IN 
THAT MOMENT THERE.
>> John: THE BIG MOMENT, MILES 
ROBINSON, ATLANTA UNITED, 
NUMBER 2 PICK, BREAKING THROUGH 
IN A BIG WAY WITH ATLANTA 
UNITED, MAKING HIS SENIOR 
INTERNATIONAL DEBUT. 
SPENDING TIME WITH THE OTHER 
20s, FIRST CALL UP TO THE 
SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM. 
AND AS WE MENTIONED, TREMENDOUS,
OFF THE BACK OF THE GOLD CUP. 
WAS WITHDRAWN BEFORE THE FULL 
HOUR. 
AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  AFTER 
THE GIVEAWAY. 
AND THE YELLOW CARD IS SHOWN. 
TO SANCHEZ. 
>> John: RUNNING IN, AT THE 
FEET OF WESTON McKENNIE,  AND 
THE FIRST TOUCH OF THE NIGHT. 
AND THE U.S. FOR THE FIRST 
CORNER OF THE NIGHT. 
THE FIRST CORNER CHANCE THE 
U.S. HAS HAD THIS EVENING. 
THE GOLD CUP FINAL, AND HE 
SAVES OFF THE LINE. 
AND COMING IN, AND -- 
>> John: AND HERE THEY COME 
AGAIN. 
ROBINSON, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A 
WAY TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF. 
THE FAR SIDE, HE GETS IT AWAY, 
AND ALFREDO MORALES, AND  AARON 
LONG.  
>> John: CHRISTIAN PULISIC, 
MORRIS  WANTS IT MORE. 
AND BACK OUT WITH IT. 
AND THEN AN ERRANT BALL, HERE 
COMES MEXICO THE OTHER WAY, 
CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, CHICHARITO TO 
HIS RIGHT,  AND BACK IN FOR 
RODRIGUEZ, AND TECATITO, WIDE 
IN THE END.  
>> STU: THAT IS THE PROBLEM FOR 
THE UNITED STATES, SUMMING 
NUMBERS UP, AN ERRANT PASS, 
NUMBERS BREAKING AWAY, AND 
EVENTUALLY FINDS HIMSELF 
DRAGGED ACROSS, AND DRAGGING IT 
WIDE ONCE AGAIN.
>> John: PASSING ALONG, FOR FOX 
DEPORTES, NOT PART OF THE TEAM 
TONIGHT, FALLING ILL, HE WAS 
TELLING US IN HIS REPORTING, HE 
IS HAVING SURGERY FOR 
APPENDICITIS. 
A PLAYER THAT WAS A KEY PART OF 
MEXICO'S TEAM IN THE GOLD CUP, 
BEST WISHES FOR HIM RIGHT NOW 
GOING THROUGH THAT. 
RODOLFO, ANOTHER PLAYER THAT WE 
MIGHT'VE SEEN FOR MEXICO. 
>> STU: AND ALSO THE WORLD CUP. 
>> John: KT, WHAT CAN YOU SHARE 
WITH US?>> KATIE: -- KATIE, 
WHAT CAN YOU SHARE WITH US? 
>> KATIE: MILES ROBINSON WAS A 
GUY THEY WANTED TO GET INTO THE 
GAME, WE KNOW HE IS A GOOD 
DEFENDER, CAN HE IDENTIFY AND 
UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE AND 
FIND THE OPTIONS GOING OUT?
>> John: A YELLOW CARD FOR THE 
FOUL, AND ALSO ALFREDO MORALES. 
THE ENERGY IS BACK INTO THE 
BUILDING. 
ANDRES GUARDADO, TRYING TO GO 
INSIDE TO RODRIGUEZ.  
BACK OUT. 
HE GOT HIMSELF INVOLVED, 
ALFREDO MORALES,  HE WAS HAPPY 
AS CAN BE, HE HAS AN EDGE TO 
HIS PLAY. 
AND GOOD TECH ON THE END BY 
HECTOR MORENO.  
AND REGGIE CANNON GOES FLYING 
IN.  
AND WESTON McKENNIE.  
>> STU: THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE 
THE FOUL.
>> [ CHEERING ] [ CHEERING ] 
>> STU: THAT IS THE RIGHT CALL. 
A LITTLE BIT OF CONTACT. 
AND A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
>> John: COMING OFF THE BENCH 
IN THE GOLD CUP FINAL, JOZY 
ALTIDORE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE 
PLAYERS. 
>> STU: GREGG BERHALTER MUST  
BE THINKING SHALL I GIVE JOSH 
SARGENT A CHANCE? 
HE IS ONE OF THEM, THE U.S. HAS 
NOT HAD A LOT OF POSSESSION 
AFTER THE 20th MINUTE OR SO, A 
HARD JOB. 
THE U.S. VERSUS MEXICO, RELYING 
ON SERVICE. 
SOME FRESH LEGS IN THAT 
POSITION, GOING A LONG WAY. 
GETTING THAT OPPORTUNITY.
>> AND COMING BACK IN. 
THERE YOU GO. 
>> STU: FINALLY. 
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> John: THE EXPECTATIONS, THE 
OTHER 20 WORLD CUP, AND THE 
DOMINOES THAT FELL, AND THEN HE 
WASN'T A PART OF IT. 
EVERY SEASON, STRUGGLING TO GET 
PLAYING TIME. 
THE FRUSTRATION FOR THAT YOUNG 
MAN. 
AND NOT TO BE PART OF THE GOLD 
CUP, USING IT AS FUEL AND 
MOTIVATION, HE WILL GET HIS 
CHANCE IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. 
THAT IS A FOUL. 
>> STU: THE FRUSTRATION FROM 
THE U.S. SOCCER FAN BASE, 
EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT IT IS 
ESSENTIAL FOR JOSH SARGENT, BUT 
THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CLEAR 
WINNER OR HEIR APPARENT FOR 
JOZY ALTIDORE IN THAT POSITION, 
EVERYBODY IS THINKING WHO IS 
THE NEXT GUY, THE REAL OPTION 
THERE, AND JOSH SARGENT HAS 
SHOWN FLASHES, SCORING A WONDER 
GOAL FOR WERDER BREMEN, IT IS 
UP TO HIM TO GET A REGULAR RUN 
OF GAMES. 
YOU WANT TO SEE HIM GET THESE 
TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES AND MAKE 
AN IMPACT. 
WE WILL SEE HIM NOW FOR 25+ 
MINUTES.>> John: THE NEXT TWO 
CHANGES FOR THE U.S. THE 
SUBSTITUTION THIS EVENING, 
STEPPING UP TO WIN THE BALL. 
LOOKING TO RECOVER NOW. 
THE U.S. THROW. 
UNDER PRESSURE. 
AND COMING INTO SCORE THE GOAL, 
HE DID IT LAST YEAR, DOWN THE 
ROAD FROM PHILADELPHIA, HE IS 
ON IT, AND A HUGE ROUND OF 
APPLAUSE GOING AROUND THE 
STADIUM. 
THAT WAS DONE FOR JOSH SARGENT, 
IT LOOKS LIKE FOR MEXICO, 
HIRVING LOZANO, WHO JUST MADE 
HIS WAY TO NAPOLI.
>> John: THE U.S. SENIOR 
NATIONAL TEAM, HAD TO BE 
THRILLED ABOUT IT. 
>> STU: FRUSTRATED TO COME OUT 
OF THE GAME, MAKING THE MISTAKE 
THAT LED TO THE GOAL, YOU GOT 
THE 1-V-1, FRUSTRATED THAT HE 
WASN'T ABLE TO IMPACT THE GAME 
MORE,  SOME GOOD MOMENTS, 
FLASHES FROM HIM, YOU CAN SEE 
WHERE HE IS GOOD IN POSSESSION, 
ON THE BALL, HE IS 18 YEARS OLD.
DOES HE COME BACK, OR THE CALL 
FOR THE NETHERLANDS UNDER 23, 
IS HE READY TO COMMIT HIS 
FUTURE.
>> John: IN THE NATION'S LEE, 
HE CAN DECIDE, THE FRIENDLY'S, 
BEFORE OFFICIALLY BEING TIED 
WITH ONE NATION OR THE OTHER, 
ELIGIBLE FOR BOTH. 
ALVARADO. 
AND OVER THE AND LINE, AND HERE 
COMES THE ROAR. 
HIRVING LOZANO.  
LAST YEAR'S CONCACAF PLAYER OF 
THE YEAR, MEXICAN RECORD 
TRANSFER TO NAPOLI, FOR HIS 
DEBUT, AND SOMETHING ELSE. 
THEY CHANGED THE DECISION. 
THEY ARE GOING TO HOLD THE SUB, 
THEY CHANGED THE DECISION, IT 
IS GOING TO BE A CORNER NOW. 
CHICHARITO  ON HIS WAY OFF WILL 
GIVE IT TO ANDRES GUARDADO.  
A SWINGING BALL, AND LONG IS 
ABLE TO STAB IT OUT. 
HERRERA. 
AND CHICHARITO IN THERE, THE 
CROSS,  AND TECATITO, THE LAST 
CHANCE FOR HIM BEFORE BEING 
SUBBED OFF.  A 
CROSS IN THE AIR, AND WESTON 
McKENNIE, AND TO ANDRES 
GUARDADO OVER THE BAR!  
>> STU: BOTH NUMBERS.
>> John: AND NOW WE ARE HEARING,
IS COMING IN. 
AND COMING BACK ON THE FIELD. 
A KNEE INJURY IN THE SPRING 
CAUSED HIM THE END OF THE 
SEASON AND THE GOLD CUP AS 
WELL. 
20 MINUTES TO GO IN THIS ONE. 
WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE IN THE 
FINAL 20 MINUTES? 
>> STU: GETTING A GOAL, THEY'VE 
HAD POSITION AND A COUPLE OF 
MOMENTS, BUT MEXICO HAS LOOKED 
COMFORTABLE IN POSSESSION, A 
GOOD MOMENT, AND A CHANCE, A 
LITTLE BIT EARLIER, NOW HE HAS 
HIRVING LOZANO , THE CHANGES, 
FOR THE U.S., AND NOW HIRVING 
LOZANO, RUNNING THROUGH AND HE 
PUTS IT WIDE!  
GOODNESS! 
>> STU: ALMOST AN INSTANT 
IMPACT, HE SCORED RECENTLY FOR 
NAPOLI ON HIS DEBUT, AND ALMOST 
SCORED WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING 
ON THE FIELD, OVERHEAD KICK, HE 
GETS BEAT, AND HE DOES A GOOD 
JOB HERE JOHN TO MAKE UP 
GROUND, JUST AS ENOUGH TO PUT 
OFF HIRVING LOZANO, GET SOME 
OFF BALANCE AND DRAGS IT WIDE .
>> John: TRYING TO GET A FREE 
KICK CUP AND HAVING NONE OF IT. 
>> John: A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT 
OPTIONS, ON THE FAR SIDE, BUT 
WAY BEHIND, AND OUT HERE 
>> STU: CHRISTIAN PULISIC  HAS 
IS HANDS ON HIS HEAD, HE 
HESITATED FOR HALF A SECOND, HE 
KNEW THE WINDOW WAS THERE. 
AND HE WAS ON.
>> John: THINKING OF THE CROSS 
IN THAT MOMENT AS WELL. 
AND HESITATING ON THAT. 
DRAWING THE FOUL. 
AND COMING IN FOR THE SUBS. 
AND YOU CAN HEAR THE SHOT. 
>> John: ONE SHOT ON TARGET FOR 
MEXICO WAS THE FIRST HALF GOAL. 
CHICHARITO SCORED IT,  NOW HE 
IS OFFSIDE. 
AND BEING CALLED BACK TO THE 
U.S. BENCH. 
AND THE U.S. HAS USED 4 OF THE 
6 SUBS THEY CAN MAKE. 
AND A LIFE DONG -- A LIFELONG 
DREAM TO PLAY IN A U.S. AND 
MEXICO GAME, HAVING INJURIES AND
EXACTLY THE WRONG TIME, THE 
QUALIFIER IN MARCH 2017, LAST 
SEPTEMBER AS WELL, BEFORE THE 
GOLD CUP, AS ANDRES GUARDADO IS 
DOWN,  CHICHARITO IS FURIOUS AT 
THE REFEREE.  
AND HE GETS A YELLOW CARD FOR 
PROTESTING. 
>> STU: IT HAS JUST BEEN 
NONSTOP, FOR AGUILAR THERE.
>> John: IT LOOKS LIKE TO HAVE 
TWO PLAYERS, AND THEY ARE GOING 
TO COME ON THE FIELD. 
FORCING DIEGO REYES TO KNOTTED 
OUT.  
-- NOD IT OUT. THE CHANGE, 
ERICK GUTIERREZ. WITH ABOUT A 
QUARTER OF AN HOUR TO GO. 
PLAYING ARGENTINA TUESDAY NIGHT 
IN SAN ANTONIO, AND I MENTIONED 
THE U.S. AGAINST URUGUAY, AND 
THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD A CHANCE 
TO WIN THE BALL BACK, BUT HE 
GOT BLOCKED OFF. 
THAT HAPPENED IN THE USA'S 
FAVOR THE FIRST HALF. 
>> John: STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO 
ONE ANOTHER. 
AND COMING ON, HIS OPPONENT. 
>> John: A COUPLE OF CHANGES, 
ALVARADO OFF, AND THE 
REVELATION FOR THE GOLD CUP, 
THE HAT TRICK ON OPENING NIGHT, 
INJURY REPLACEMENT, SUCH A KEY 
PART OF MEXICO'S SUCCESS, ON 
LOAN FROM MANCHESTER CITY, AND 
AGAINST THE NETHERLANDS 
PREVIOUSLY, THE CONFIDENCE 
COSTING ON THE FIELD, KIND OF 
GROWN SO MUCH AS A PLAYER AS A 
RESULT. 
AND ANDRES GUARDADO,  162nd 
APPEARANCE.
>> [ CHEERING ]
>> John: AND A U.S. CHANGE, 
PLAYING THE FIRST FOUR GAMES, 
THE GALAXY GAME, BEFORE HE WAS 
RULED OUT FOR THE GOLD CUP. 
THE U.S. CAN MAKE ONE MORE 
CHANGE, AND MEXICO 3 IF THEY 
WANT TO. 
THEY HAVE THE BODIES TO DO SO. 
>> STU: YES. 
MOST COACHES GUY GOING TO THE 
BENCH, GETTING DIFFERENT LOOKS, 
PART OF THE LUXURY YOU HAVE 
WITH A FRIENDLY, AND ALSO WITH 
RESPECT, IT KIND OF RUINS THE 
FLOW, IT HAS BEEN HARD IN THE 
SECOND HALF TO GET A GRIP.
>> John: AND HE IS ON THE 
FIELD, ERICK GUTIERREZ, ON THE 
FIELD, HE GETS THE GOAL, 2-0. 
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, FOR 
HIM! 
>> STU: FOR THE FIRST HALF, THE 
UNITED STATES GOT AWAY WITH IT 
A COUPLE OF TIMES, WESTON 
McKENNIE PUTS IT BACK TO ZACK 
STEFFEN, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE, 
JUST  RELEASE IT, PUT IT UP THE 
FIELD, INSTEAD, HE TRIES TO 
PLAY A SHORT ONE, PICKED OFF, 
AND ERICK GUTIERREZ RULES AT 
HOME, AND NOW ZACK STEFFEN, 
LEANING INSIDE, COMING BACK TO 
THE NEAR POST,  YOU WANT TO 
PLAY OUT OF THE BACK, CONTINUED 
TO TRY THESE THINGS, THAT'S 
FINE, BUT STILL MOMENTS THAT 
YOU JUST HAVE TO CLEAR IT, READ 
THE SITUATION. 
HE HAD ANOTHER ONE AGAINST 
VENEZUELA, A PRE-GOLD CLUB -- 
PRE-GOLD CUP FRIENDLY, THOSE 
DECISIONS FOR ZACK STEFFEN, 
GREGG BERHALTER IS NOT GOING TO 
SAY I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PLAYED 
AT 5 YARDS. 
>> John: ERICK GUTIERREZ CUT 
INJURIES AGAINST CANADA THE 
FIRST TOURNAMENT, AND ZACK 
STEFFEN DIDN'T WANT  ANYTHING 
TO DO WITH GOING TO GET IT, AND 
HE RELENTED ESSENTIALLY, AND 
THE GOAL FOR ERICK GUTIERREZ, 
HE GETS A GOAL MOMENTS AFTER 
MAKING HIS RETURN FROM MEXICO. 
WORD IS A GO FROM HERE, THAT 
MIGHT'VE BEEN A HANDBALL, A 
KICK TO THE FAR SIDE, AND A 
GOOD SAVE BY ZACK STEFFEN.  
THINGS MAY JUST SORT OF UNRAVEL 
NOW. 
>> STU: THE U.S. HAS TO GET A 
MOMENT OUT OF THE SECOND HALF, 
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING, 
BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN A VERY 
UNDERWHELMING PERFORMANCE, THE 
FIRST 20 MINUTES DOESN'T 
MATTER.>> John: THE FREE KICK. 
>> STU: WHO'S GOING TO REMEMBER 
20 MINUTES THREE MONTHS FROM 
NOW, REMEMBER WE PLAYED WELL 
FOR 20 MINUTES AGAINST MEXICO, 
NO, YOU HAVE TO START PUTTING 
SOME OF THIS TOGETHER AGAINST 
YOUR BIGGEST RIVAL, THE BEST 
TEAM IN CONCACAF, WHICH IS 
UNDOUBTEDLY MEXICO.
>> John: STANDING OVER IT, AND 
OFF THE POST, ALFREDO MORALES, 
A NO LOOK VOLLEY.  
AND ZACK STEFFEN WAS COMPLETELY 
LOST ON THE . 
>> STU: INSTANTLY, ALMOST 
PROVIDING THAT MOMENT.
>> John: JOSH SARGENT, THROWING 
HIS BODY AND THERE. 
>> STU: JOSH SARGENT WINS THE 
FIRST ONE, AND THEN GOING 
FORWARD, ALFREDO MORALES.  
THAT ONE IS TOWARDS GOAL, IT 
COMES OFF OF JONATHAN OROZCO'S 
POST. 
>> John: OFF THE REDIRECTION. 
AND MORE SAYS OPTIONS, HE TEES 
IT UP, BUT JONATHAN OROZCO IS 
THERE TO GET IT . A GOOD SAVE 
FOR HIM TONIGHT. 
>> STU: LOOKING AT ALFREDO 
MORALES AND THE NUMBER 6 
POSITION,  AND PLAYING IN FRONT 
OF HIM, WITH WESTON McKENNIE ON 
THE LEFT.  
AND JORDAN MORRIS COULDN'T GET 
A HOLD OF IT, IT WAS PRETTY 
COMFORTABLE RIGHT TO JONATHAN 
OROZCO. 
>> John: WITH THE ARMBAND. 
JUST ONE WIN IN THE LAST FIVE 
MATCHES, THEY HAVE NOT LOST A 
FRIENDLY SINCE 1999, BACK WITH 
A COUPLE OF REDIRECTIONS. 
AND THE FANS ONE MORE. 
AND HIRVING LOZANO, ON THE FAR 
SIDE, AND  IT IS NOW 3-0!
>> [ CHEERING ] [ CHEERING ] [ 
CHEERING ] 
>> STU: IN TRANSITION HERE, THE 
U.S. HAD AN OPPORTUNITY, JOSH 
SARGENT TRIES TO FIND THE BALL 
IN THE BOX, AND TECATITO,  
TAKING HIM TO THE CLEANERS, 
LEAVING ALFREDO MORALES IN THE 
DUST, AND LOOK AT THIS, LITTLE 
STOP AND GO, SUCK THEM IN, SEE 
YOU LATER, GOOD NIGHT.  
AND HE HAS THE COMPOSURE IN THE 
OPEN FIELD, DRIVING ROBINSON 
ACROSS THE FIELD, AND SLOTTING 
THAT AWAY, 3-0, 83rd MINUTE.
>> John: YOUR BIGGEST MEMORY OF 
THE RIVAL SERIES, IN THE SAME 
PARKING LOT, THE MEADOWLANDS, 
THIS IS MEXICO'S BIGGEST MARGIN 
OF THE U.S. SINCE THE GAME OVER 
A DECADE AGO, CAN THE U.S. PULL 
ONE BACK, AND A FIRST TOUCH, AND
COULDN'T CATCH UP TO IT. 
>> John: IT WOULD BE THE 
BIGGEST WIN FOR MEXICO SINCE THE
FINAL WERE THEY WON 4-2. 
>> STU: IT IS A FULLY DESERVED 
3-0 VICTORY, THE UNITED STATES, 
BEHIND ONE, AND THE SECOND ONE, 
AND YOU'RE PUSHING UP AGAINST A 
TEAM LIKE MEXICO THAT HAS AN 
ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT OF 
RICHES, THEY BRING ON A $70 
MILLION PLUS PLAYER, IN HIRVING 
LOZANO, YOU CAN SEE HIS 
QUALITY,  AND URIEL ANTUNA 
COMES OFF THE BENCH AND SCORES. 
>> John: WEDDING TO COME ON. 
AND A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES 
UPFRONT, AND THE RAIN IS 
STARTING BACK UP AS WELL. 
AND A STIFF ARM, TO GET THE 
FREE KICK. 
AND THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE. 
>> STU: AND THE 11th GAME, A 7-0
WALLS, AND THEY WILL GO TO 11 
UNBEATEN AGAINST ARGAN SHEENA --
ARGENTINA, FOR THE MEXICAN 
COACH, ALL OF THE GAMES PLAYED 
IN THE UNITED STATES STRANGELY 
ENOUGH. 
AND RODRIGUEZ BLESS IT OUT. 
AND CHICHARITO  WILL GET HIS 
CURTAIN CALL. 
A PROMISING START FOR THE U.S., 
THE NUTMEG, AND CHICHARITO, HIS 
RECORD 52nd  GOAL FOR HIS 
COUNTRY. 
>> STU: AND HE IS NOT EVEN A 
GUARANTEED STARTER IN THAT 
POSITION NOW. 
RAUL JIMENEZ IS AN EXCELLENT 
FORM, CHICHARITO DOES THE  
THING HE DOES FOR MEXICO. 
SCORES A GOAL. 
THERE'S A LOT OF TALENT AT THAT 
POSITION. 
>> John: AND THE ISSUE IS THAT 
THE JERSEY WAS FALLING APART, 
THEY'RE USING MEDICAL TAPE TO 
TRY TO PUT A NUMBER ON THE BACK 
OF HIS SHIRT. 
THE RAIN GETTING HEAVIER NOW. 
SO A HANDFUL OF FANS, ARE 
MAKING THEIR WAY OUT, AND 
TRYING TO ENGLAND, MORRIS, A 
PENALTY TO THE UNITED STATES, 
AND A CHANCE AT LEAST TO WIPE 
AWAY THE GOOSE EGG ON THEIR 
SIDE OF THE BOARD! 
>> STU: INTERESTINGLY, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC HAD THE BALL, 
JOSH SARGENT, A FANTASTIC BALL, 
AND HE FINDS THE RUN. 
OF JORDAN MORRIS, IT IS A FOUL. 
AND I HAVE TO SAY, CHRISTIAN 
PULISIC IS THE  START GUY, HAS 
HE TAKEN A PENALTY FOR THE 
UNITED STATES? 
I WANT MY STAR PLAYER TAKING 
THESE MOMENTS. 
REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE HIM 
GIVE THE BALL TO JOSH SARGENT. 
THE FIRST PENALTY HE HAS EVER 
TAKEN AT THE SENIOR 
PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. 
TAKING ONE AT THE UNDER 17 A 
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
>> John: IN THE DRIVING RAIN 
NOW, HERE IN NEW JERSEY, AND IT 
IS SAVED. 
AND THE FLOOR IS SHAKING AGAIN. 
>> STU: I WILL SIT AGAIN, IT 
HAS BEEN THAT KIND OF NIGHT FOR 
THE U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM. 
JOSH SARGENT STEPS UP, HE HITS 
IT CONFIDENTLY, LOW AND HARD TO 
JONATHAN OROZCO'S RIGHT . A 
PRETTY COMFORTABLE HEIGHT IN 
THE END FOR HIM TO MAKE THE 
SAVE, HE GUESSES RIGHT, JOSH 
SARGENT HAS IT SAVED, WHEN IT 
RAINS, IT POURS.
>> John: IT IS THAT KIND OF 
NIGHT FOR THE UNITED STATES, AS 
UNFORTUNATE AS IT IS TO SAY 
THAT, SOME GOOD MOMENTUM UNDER 
GREGG BERHALTER, BUT HE WILL BE 
STARING DOWN BACK TO BACK 
DEFEATS FOR MEXICO. 
ALFREDO MORALES COMING OFF NOW. 
>> STU: THE LAST THING YOU 
WANT, A PLAYER IN GOOD FORM, 
PICKING UP AN INJURY.
>> John: THE SIXTH AND FINAL 
SUBSTITUTION COMING ON FOR 
MEXICO. 
AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC HAS NOT  
TAKEN A PENALTY AT THE SENIOR 
LEVEL. 
>> STU: IT JUST SEEMS WEIRD TO 
ME, 31st FOR THE UNITED STATES, 
13 GOALS, PLAYS THE PREMIER 
LEAGUE, FOR CHELSEA, THE STAR 
MAN OF THE TEAM, HE HANDS THE 
BALL TO JOSH SARGENT, HIS 
EIGHTH, TO TAKE THE PENALTY, 
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN 3-0 AGAINST 
MEXICO.
>> John: ALFREDO MORALES , ONE 
OF THE PLAYERS DESTINED TO BE 
GOING BACK TO HIS CLUB 
AFTERWARDS ANYWAY, BUT NOT THE 
WAY YOU WANT TO SEE HIM DOING 
IT. 
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES, STARTING 
FOR THE U.S. AGAINST JAMAICA, 
THE FIRST GAME AGAINST THEM 
BEFORE THE GOLD CUP, ON NOW. 
A VERY BAD NIGHT FOR THE UNITED 
STATES, IT DID NOT START THAT 
WAY, IT DID NOT NEED TO BE THAT 
WAY. 
BUT THAT WAS HOW IT WAS AND IT 
IS LOOKING NOW. 
A LOT OF CHANGES ON THE FIELD 
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. 
AND TRYING TO BUILD BACK SOME 
MOMENTUM, WHICH HAS BEEN 
DEFLATED BY THESE BACK TO BACK 
DEFEATS AGAINST MEXICO. 
NOW ONLY NINE GAMES SEPARATING 
THE U.S. FROM THE BEGINNING OF 
WORLD CUP QUALIFYING IN 
SEPTEMBER OF NEXT YEAR. 
4:00 OF STOPPAGE TIME ON THE 
WAY. 
AND ROBINSON TAKES A HARD HIT. 
ON THE DIGITAL NETWORKS, A 
RECAP, AND SORT THROUGH SOME OF 
THIS, GET OFF THE GUYS WHO RUN 
THE FIELD, THEY HAVE TAKEN 
SHELTER AS THE RAIN HAS PICKED 
UP. 
A HAPPY NIGHT FOR THAT MAN, AS 
THEY ALL HAVE BEEN BY AND 
LARGE, IN CHARGE OF MEXICO, A 
CLOSE CALL PENALTY SHOULD OUT 
AGAINST COSTA RICA AND HAITI, 
AND EXTRA TIME. 
BUT NOW SORT OF GUIDING THAT 
OUT, FOR VEGA. 
>> John: HE WAS LOOKING ACROSS, 
AND MS. HIT -- MISHIT THE BALL. 
JOSH SARGENT HITS A BACK, AND 
CHRISTIAN PULISIC,  SPACE, 
PICKING IT UP IN FRONT OF 
MORRIS, TAKING A DEFLECTION. 
>> John: JACKSON YUEILL. FOR 
MORRIS. 
LOOKING TO TURN THE CORNER, 
CROSSING INTO THE TRAFFIC. 
>> John: THERE YOU GO. 
>> STU: YES.
>> John: A MERCIFUL AND TO THE 
WORST UNITED STATES DEFEAT 
AGAINST ITS FIERCEST RIVAL FOR 
A DECADE.>> [ CHEERING ] 
>> STU: TUESDAY NIGHT NOW HAS 
SOME SIGNIFICANCE, TRYING TO 
END THE CAMP ON A POSITIVE NOTE.
>> John: AND WE WILL HEAR FROM 
WIL TRAPP. 
>> KATIE: NOT THE RESULT YOU 
WANTED, WHAT HAPPENED?>> A GAME 
IN WHICH WE NEED TO BE SMARTER 
IN SOME OF THE PLAYS WE MAY, WE 
HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT, 
THEY ARE A TEAM THAT PRESSES 
WELL, WE WERE LITTLE BIT NAOVE 
AND HOW WE WERE PLAYING OUT, WE 
HAVE TO BE BRAVE AND CONTINUE 
TO PLAY, THE CONNECTIONS WERE 
NOT ALWAYS THERE, THE GOALS WE 
GAVE UP OUR LITTLE BIT NAOVE.>> 
KATIE: GREGG BERHALTER 
MENTIONED THAT YOU PLAYED WELL 
FROM THE FIRST 20 MINUTES, WHAT 
WILL YOU DRAW FROM THAT AGAINST 
URUGUAY?>> IT'S GOOD TO SEE, 
BUT IT HAS TO BE MORE PROLONGED,
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE DID 
WELL IN THE MOMENTS, BREAKING 
LINES, BEING SECURE, AND 
GETTING BEHIND THEM AT TIMES, 
AND WE NEEDED TO DO THAT AS THE 
GAME WENT ON.>>> THE MLB WHIP 
AROUND, COMING UP NEXT, GOING 
TO THE DIGITAL CHANNELS TO 
RECAST AND RECAP THIS ONE, I AM 
JOHN STRONG, FOUR KT, -- FOR 
KATIE AND STU, IT FINISHES 3-0 
MEXICO AGAINST UNITED STATES. 
>>> COMING UP ON MLB
