The United States national team (USMNT) is considering tactical tweaks to help get star attacker Christian Pulisic back to his best in front of the goal. This follows a 5-2 loss to Belgium, with both Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun failing to convert chances. Coach Mauricio Pochettino expressed frustration over the team's lack of clinical finishing and suggested that his muted response to McKennaie's goal may have been due to frustration. Despite a strong start to his club season with AC Milan and a slow start to the national team, Pulisick has not scored in his last seven matches for the USMNT.
