Dax McCarty tells Burgundy Wave: “You’re going to find players in that Colorado locker room who are pessimistic. You’re going to find players who are optimistic.”

The word of the day for Decision Day is “chaos.” “Anything can happen.”

“I’m riding the wave. I’ve had such a great second half of the year. It’s been great to enjoy the moment. I’m continuing in that way and not being satisfied. I know I can reach another level.”

- Cristian Roldan on his club form and getting a renewed opportunity with the USMNT

Poch on Malik Tillman: He did not dress tonight because of an injury yesterday. Hamstring cramp. Poch says it's not serious. #USMNT

Tonight is the first game under Poch that the USMNT has won coming from behind.

Poch on Pulisic: He felt something in his hamstring. He'll be assessed tonight and return to Milan.

Fulltime! USMNT win!

A back and forth half but one the Yanks contain and control for the most part. Good effort from the subs. Luna and Aaronson were on the same page. Great night for Roldan and Wright on the goals. Hope Pulisic's ok. Tonight was progress ahead of the World Cup.

51' GOAL USMNT! Long ball to Haji Wright who runs it down. He chops the ball to set up the shot and buries it far corner! What a curler!

We blame Fox’s bandwidth.

46' Aiden O'Neill with a great shot in the opening minute. Ball gets to him with space, blocked by a defender. That could have been two.

1-1 | #USMNT
