Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse react to the USMNT 1-1 draw, behind a goal from captain Christian Pulisic. According to Mosse, this is one of the best USMNT performances against Brazil ever. After a disheartening loss to Colombia, Gregg Berhalter and the squad regained confidence with this result and head into Copa America on a positive note. The guys answer a few questions on whether Berhalter is on the hot seat, players that stood out this match or needed to see more from, and what specifically changed from the last friendly.
