SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Malik Tillman scored twice as the United States built a three-goal, first-half lead and ended a four-game losing streak by routing Trinidad and Tobago 5-0 on Sunday in a CONCACAF Gold Cup opener.

After Christian Pulisic spoke about why he chose not to play for the USMNT in the Gold Cup this summer, head coach Mauricio Pochettino was asked about those comments before the tournament opener against Trinidad and Tobago. It’s safe to say Pochettino wanted to remind everyone he’s in charge of the USMNT. Not Pulisic.

U.S. soccer star Christian Pulisic responds to critics, including former player Landon Donovan, after facing backlash for his decision to rest instead of playing in the Gold Cup.

Christian Pulisic has sent a brief message through social media amid controversy over his decision to skip USMNT duty this summer.
