When Christian Pulisic broke onto the international soccer scene, playing for the USMNT as a teenager, he represented a new wave of hope that the Americans could establish themselves with more prominence on the global stage. It wasn't just Pulisic, but a group of up-and-coming young talent that included the likes of Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Tyler Adams and others. The team faced disappointment when failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but also grew from that experience, forming the core of the team for years to come.
David Sarachan had the chance to coach that group during his stint as the interim USMNT head coach in 2017 and 2018. He joined Founding Futbol to share his experience with those young players. During the conversation, Sarachan talks about how the game change, why it's so hard to compare different generations of players and more.
