'It's time for us to prove ourselves' - Christian Pulisic lays down gauntlet to USMNT at Copa America

Copa America

Uruguay

Bolivia

The United States are preparing for their first match of the 2024 Copa America against Bolivia at AT&amp;T Stadium on Sunday evening. While they are far from being favourites to win the tournament, AC Milan star Pulisic is hoping his team - who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/usmnt-player-ratings-brazil-christian-pulisic-matt-turner-copa-america/blt53aa6d8bb0389457" target="_blank">drew 1-1 with Brazil</a> in their final warm-up game but also were <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-ratings-vs-colombia-gio-reyna/bltec7914158e3c5308" target="_blank">thumped 5-1 by Colombia</a> - can go far in this historic competition.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told reporters on Friday: "Now it's time to prove ourselves. I think we've learned a lot. We've put some good performances in the World Cup. We've shown people that, okay, this team can play. And now it's about not just putting in those performances but finding a way to get results in the biggest matches. That's the next step for us."

WHAT CHRISTIAN PULISIC SAID

The US reached the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup before losing to the Netherlands but they did hold England to a goalless draw in the group stages. Their best-ever run at a Copa America was in 2016 and 1995 when they finished fourth and Pulisic is hoping they can impress in front of their own fans in the coming weeks.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After their opener against Bolivia, the United States then take on Panama four days later, before rounding off their group stage campaign against Uruguay on July 1. They will hope home advantage helps them go far in this competition.
