The US men's national team has more of the last thing it needs: sports dad drama
Briefly

The US men's national soccer team is facing multiple challenges, including a losing streak and the need for clear team identity ahead of the next World Cup. The impact of the Reyna scandal continues to resonate, as Gio Reyna's limited playing time during the 2022 World Cup led to parental interference that has affected team dynamics. Following a tumultuous coaching period, the team now grapples with lost momentum and a quest for a goalscorer. Recent comments from Mark Pulisic highlight ongoing concerns regarding player commitment.

Mark Pulisic, a former professional indoor player and coach added another chapter to the parental behavior files on Sunday.
