Close bond between talented team-mates
WHAT HAPPENED?
The pair have grown up together – personally and professionally – with their respective careers following a similar path. Both left their homeland to try their luck in Germany at a young age, while they are now turning out for leading sides in Serie A.
Gregg Berhalter is readying his troops for a Copa America on home soil, with the tournament due to get underway on June 20. Pulisic and McKennie will figure prominently in his plans – once the duo have finished winding each other up. Pulisic said after seeing his Copa photoshoot disrupted: “This is ridiculous! Weston, we are trying to get out of here.”
WHAT NEXT?
The USMNT will open their Copa campaign against Bolivia on June 23. They will also face Panama and Uruguay in Group C, with the plan being to go deep into the competition before attention then shifts to a gold medal bid at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
