USMNT Kicks Off World Cup Preparations

The U.S. men's national team commenced its World Cup preparations with a hard-fought 3-2 win against Senegal in Charlotte.

Christian Pulisic, the Milan midfielder, broke a nearly six-month scoring drought, delivering a goal and an assist in the first half.

Sergiño Dest opened the scoring just seven minutes into the match, setting an early tone.

The team's final tune-up game is scheduled against Germany on June 6 in Chicago, providing another crucial test before their World Cup campaign begins against Paraguay on June 12.
