The US soccer team is preparing to face Bosnia in the World Cup, with Christian Pulisic saying he is ready to play a full game, including extra time if necessary.
Team Confidence
Pulisic described the team as ‘pretty brave’ and ‘courageous’, with the right mindset to do what is needed if penalties are required to decide the match.
The US team will be heavy favorites in the San Francisco Bay Area, but are not taking Bosnia lightly after they qualified for the tournament by beating four-time champions Italy in a playoff.
The US convincingly beat Paraguay and Australia in their opening two matches, but suffered a defeat to Turkey in a dead rubber with a second-string lineup last week.
Penalty Shootouts
Pulisic said the team would go with their own approaches if a penalty shootout is required, rather than trying to change their style based on what they have seen from other teams.
Defender Chris Richards said he would follow his instincts if he had to face the pressure of penalties, and that the early elimination of big teams meant there was more chance of a deeper US run in the tournament.
