Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Ms. Captain America (or Peggy Carter, for those who know).
U.S. men’s national team and AC Milan star, Christian Pulisic, has had quite the busy summer — both on and off the pitch.
The wait for a new United States men’s national team head coach is over as Mauricio Pochettino if officially in charge. The Pochettino USMNT salary details reveal that he's the highest paid U.S. head coach in history.
Mauricio Pochettino USMNT salary details
New United States coach Mauricio Pochettino can bring a fighting spirit to the national team, Christian Pulisic said after Tuesday's 1-1 draw with New Zealand.
Pulisic's goal was canceled out by Ben Waine's late equalizer in Cincinnati and the AC Milan winger said that he is hopeful Pochettino can instill the fierce mentality and risk-taking edge the team need to compete at the highest level.

Looks like Gregg Berhalter wasn’t the only problem, folks.
The U.S. men’s national team suffered a 2-1 loss against Canada on Saturday, becoming the only defeat against the Maples on U.S. soil since 1957. They did so with American manager, Jesse Marsch, leading Canada on the bench.
The United States men’s national team lost to Canada on home soil for the first time in 67 years as the Canucks secured a 2-1 friendly win in front of a sparse crowd at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas on Saturday.
Incoming U.S. head coach Mauricio Pochettino wasn’t on the sidelines for the loss as USMNT U-20 head coach Mikey Varas oversaw the game.
The USMNT were also without the likes of Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Timothy Weah and Sergiño Dest.
Cristiano Ronaldo created a firestorm on social media earlier in the week as he scored his 900th career goal, a milestone no player in history has reached before.
When being asked about the new landmark, Ronaldo spoke about the idea of playing in the 2026 World Cup and if he's motivated to play in one last World Cup.
"Portugal winning Euros is equivalent to winning a World Cup," Ronaldo said. "I've already won two trophies for Portugal that I really wanted. I'm not motivated by that. I'm motivated by enjoying football and the records come naturally."

Jesse is heating up the match this weekend.
Canadian men’s national team manager, Jesse Marsch, had some things to say about the U.S. men’s national team ahead of the upcoming clash between Canada and the United States.
On CBS Sports’ “Call It What You Want” Podcast, Marsch was asked all sorts of questions revolving around the USMNT, this amidst the upcoming friendly fixture between Canada and the USMNT on Saturday, Sept. 8.
The Colorado Rapids have taken to social media and expressed their outrage over goalkeeper Zack Steffen not being called up for the September U.S. men’s roster.
Steffen hasn’t featured for the USMNT since March 2022 and was last called up for the Concacaf Nations League in March 2023 but sat the bench for two games.
The 29-year-old has been having a renaissance with the Rapids this season and played a major role in the team’s run to finishing third in this summer’s Leagues Cup. The Rapids defeated FOUR Liga MX teams in the process and won three penalty shootouts.
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez announced his international retirement on Monday, ending a 17-year career with his national team as their top scorer with 69 goals.
The 37-year-old, who has 142 caps for his country, made his international debut in 2007 and was key in the squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and won the Copa America a year later.
"Friday will be my last match with my country's national team," an emotional Suarez told a press conference.
