For a U.S. team that hasn't been shy about its lofty ambitions for the 2026 World Cup, Saturday's 3-1 friendly loss to Germany was a harsh reality check.

"They have some unbelievable players, especially in transition," he said."I mean, I think there's for sure some things we can avoid as far as losing the ball in certain areas of the field that hurt us. But they were good. They were good with winning a lot of second balls today and in transition. You gotta give them credit."
