The Guardian FootballChristian Pulisic’s World Cup of TV stardom and ‘little glimpses’ ends in disappointment
For much of the star’s career, this tournament has been held as a high-water mark.

The Guardian FootballThe US had the biggest opportunity in the history of American soccer. They wasted it | Alexander Abnos
The USA men’s run at a home World Cup had attracted people who usually ignore soccer. Instead of triumph, they saw a humbling by Belgium In the closing moments of the USA’s 3-2 win against Portugal at the 2002 World Cup, the ESPN commentator Jack Edwards took a moment to remind viewers who had stayed up all night of the profound result they were witnessing.
