Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic has criticised the lack of American fans in attendance as his national side beat Morocco in a World Cup warm-up match.

Over 19,000 fans came close to filling the 26,000 seat TQL stadium in Cincinnati, but Pulisic felt the American support was disappointingly low.

He told ESPN: ‘For whatever reason, I’m not super happy with the amount of Americans here, however that works out, if I’m being completely honest. But thanks to the ones who did come, and the support is always great from them.’

The home side took the initiative early thanks to first-half goals for Brenden Aaronson and Timothy Weah. 

Morocco’s fate was then sealed with a late strike from the penalty spot for Pulisic’s former USA under-17 teammate Haji Wright on debut.

‘Haji and me go way back,’ Pulisic continued. ‘I think he needed that goal. He said he was confident to step up and take it, and I wanted him to get that confidence, and I’m glad he scored.’

‘I mean, it was a great win; we’re really happy. We started really well, got that early goal and yeah, just a really strong performance. It’s nice to be back in America and playing again.’ 


Over 19,000 fans watched USA beat Morocco 3-0 in Cincinatti with 7,000 seats left unfilled

It was a landmark win for USA, their first in four games, and an emphatic display against a team ranked just nine places below them.

Gregg Berhalter’s side are now unbeaten in 24 home games, a record that stretches back to September 2019.

They will Join England, Iran and either Ukraine of Wales in group B of this winter’s World Cup.

American fans will be hoping for a repeat of their now-infamous 1-1 draw with England in 2010, when a Rob Green howler helped USA top the group.
