Starting with Confidence against Bolivia

The first game of the US team was against Bolivia and the team performed well, which has caused frenzy among the fans. This victory has helped build confidence within the Chelsea team, as stated by their key player, Christian Pulisic.

And to be quite frank, it is rather easy to understand that. Thus, the final scoreline which was not very close, told the story of the United States team that was getting stronger and in harmony with each other.

He played with authority and was able to show why he is often described as the figure head of soccer in America. The win was not just three points on the table; it was a statement that the team came from the United States can play with the best.
