Pulisic on the United States match: “I still had mud in my ear after playing”

The United States team closed its activity in June during its visit to El Salvador, for the fourth date of Group D of League A of the Concacaf Nations League. The match ended with a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard and not only highlighted the football aspect, but also the poor conditions of the field.

The match was scheduled at the Cuscatlán Stadium, but the grass was not in its best conditions: there was intense rain, the mud flooded the field and that affected the performance of the soccer players. Due to what happened, there was a lot of criticism from the North American country, although Christian Pulisic decided to take what he experienced with some humor.

After the match, the England Chelsea midfielder spoke to the press and surprised with his comment. “About 30 minutes after the match, I touched my ear and it was still muddy. It was hard to remove everything”, explained the captain of the United States team.

“They were intense conditions and I am happy because we were able to overcome them”, added the 23-year-old footballer, who also assured that it has been the “season was crazy”. Precisely, the skilled athlete was one of the most effusive with the agonizing goal scored by Jordan Morris (92 ‘) to equalize the duel. Alexander Larín had given El Salvador the partial advantage (36’).

Let’s remember that weather conditions affect several Concacaf countries and even the United States played the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers in a complicated context. On February 2, the ‘USMNT’ defeated Honduras 3-0 at home, at Allianz Field in Minnesota, at 17 degrees below zero.
