He'd had a really good first half, and I think there was a bit of consternation amongst the US fans that we were sitting by anyway.
Do we know what the reason was?
I assumed it was just like, well, give him a rest, like the game's won.
Yeah, well, that was my thought.
But Mauricio Pochettino has said after the game that he took a kick to the calf and it was a precaution.
But Pulisic has also said that he took a kick to the calf and he hopes he'll be OK for the next game.
So there seems to be no real concern.
But the fact that he hopes he's OK just adds that little bit of sense.
But Christian Pulisic is a huge, huge figure for the U.S.
He's their golden boy.
And the fact he played so well tonight, two assists, and he was really on it.
So if he has any element of doubt, that will be a big issue, a big story for the U.S.
What did you make of the atmosphere?
Because we've been talking a lot about the fact that it's not felt that World Cup-y.
But as we approached the stadium today, you were like, aha, this is more like it.
They're shouting about it a bit more.
And when you got in that, I mean, it's an unbelievably big stadium.
Like it's a sensationally big stadium.
