After weeks of frustration, the USMNT produced a display that felt like a genuine step in the right direction.Follow Yanks Abroad Social Channels:TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@yanksabroadInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/yanksabroadpod/Twitter - https://twitter.com/yanksabroadpod#USMNT #Pochettino #ChristianPulisic #folarinbalogun #WorldCup #Soccer
