Taken quickly by Roll Down, Haji Wright trying to get on to the end of this one, and Hatchie Wright inside the box turns well. Haji Wright, that's magnificent! He has a second on the night! A superb finish from Haji Wright and Marizio Pachitino's men lead. Beautiful fluid movement. Football!

Football!

is live and underway here on ESPN alongside Herclis Gomez.

I'm Sebastian Salazar.

This is episode 508 of this fine program, and we are coming to you live in the aftermath of the

United States, 2-1 victory over Australia in, not Denver, Commer City.

Commerce City.

Colorado.

The stadium that Herc built, I believe, is what they call DSG Park.

If you ever see the stadium and there's a big statue of me outside.

You built the whole state, basically.

You're responsible for all of it. Lots coming up in this edition of the show. We're going to check the mentions a little bit later on, get some thoughts from social media. We're going to dive into a quote from one of Mauritio Pocetino's assistants.

That's maybe a little bit confusing.

And time allowing, we will do a little bit of a recap on Pochitino's assistants. That's maybe a little bit confusing.

And time allowing, we will do a little bit of a recap on the U.S. performance at the under 20 World Cup.

The Americans are going out in the quarterfinals against Morocco. But let's start with the game at hand.

And a matter of the evening, United States taking on Australia.

It's coming off that one-one draw against Ecuador in Austin. Six changes to the starting lineup for Mauricio Pochitino. We picked this one up 15 minutes in. Herc, unfortunately, this would be a theme. Christian Policicic, hacked to the ground. Yeah, it's not the initial contact. It's the follow-through and Christian Policisic ticket the brunt of that action right there. Goes to the ground. Marisa Pochette, you know, not happy seeing a star player on the ground.

I don't think he'll be too happy about this. 19 minutes in Australia, off the throw-in. Anybody going to get to Jordan boss? I guess not. One-nothing to the Aussies. Off a throwing, you said.

A comedy of airs is about four players involved, all flat-footed,

rolled on right there at the end, gets beat, and you can say this is a fortunate finish, but off a throw-in in your defensive third, with so many players in the box, this cannot happen. US falling behind. They've never won a game under Mauritio Pochettino when falling behind. This made it look like things we're going to get even worse in the 26 minute. Polisick fouled at midfield. He'd go down and Hercke, he'd have to be subbed off. Yeah, beautiful turn. Remember Christian Polisic played as a substitute in the first game in the opening window or this window because he had ankle pain, something he's been dealing with that Milan, one too many hits there and Pochitino decides that's it for the captain.

He gone.
