The idea that the US men's national team can win the World Cup isn't worth thinking about. There is nothing about the team's history that suggests otherwise.
That is fine for outsiders. No, it doesn't matter. He would find it hard to go to the World Cup with a defeatist mindset.
"If you don't believe that it can happen, it won't happen," he said. We've seen crazy things happen and I believe that we have a strong team that can accomplish anything. I'm going to believe that way going into this World Cup.
Four months before the tournament starts, he doesn't want to put a limit on what the team can achieve. What do you think would happen with that?
He said that they were going to the World Cup with the intention of winning it. We feel that we can really make moves in this World Cup because we are going to go in as a confident and hungry side that is not going to back down.
In Las Vegas on Saturday, Club America was defeated by a 2-1 score, but Christian Pulisic was in the US for the preseason tour. After coming on as a substitute, the American didn't find a goal.
The preseason is important for Pulisic as he continues to fight for his place. It's going to be difficult for Pulisic to get consistent minutes after spending last season going in and out of the lineup.
He said that life at a big club was just like that. We have great quality and we are excited about it. The competition is so great at this club that you can't help but enjoy it. In training, we all like to compete with each other. It's just another great addition to the team.
I will have to play hard and enter my position the same way I did before. There's nothing crazy. There is a person named CHELSEA. The kind of club it is with the caliber of players that we have is what this is.
Todd Boehly, who also owns minority stakes in the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Dodgers, became the new owner of the club this winter. The arrival of Boehly has been well received in the locker room.
"I think they've come in and done a really good job in the way that they've spoken with the players and staff and just want to use that same winning mentality," he said "Bringing their American ways, some of their business ways, and how they incorporate that into this team."
There are other Americans in the world's biggest league. Manager Jesse Marsch brought in two U.S. national team players to bolster the roster for the upcoming season. It's a trend that he's happy about.
He said he's proud to see Americans doing well in the league. Having them stay up last season was a good accomplishment and I was really happy to see them do that. It does wonders for us as a country if they put on a good season.
It would help inspire the next generation of Americans to play soccer.
He said it wasn't so attractive to want to play in the U.S. "My goal was always to go over and play in Europe, and I just hope kids are watching and seeing what I'm doing and thinking, "Maybe one day we can have a league that's going to be at that level."
