Copa América: Christian Pulisic, USMNT blast referee after loss to Uruguay, curious 'offside goal'

There were plenty of questionable calls and moments in the U.S. men’s national team’s loss to Uruguay on Monday night.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Christian Pulisic saw things "that, truly, I can't believe." Antonee Robinson called the referee "awful" and "embarrassing." Gregg Berhalter, dumbfounded, shook his head.

"It's not why we lost," Pulisic said after the U.S. men's national team exited the 2024 Copa América in defeat Monday night, beaten 1-0 by Uruguay. "We're not out of this tournament because of officiating."

But USMNT players were furious with referee Kevin Ortega, and Berhalter was left stumped by a contentious video review that concluded, despite some publicly available evidence suggesting otherwise, that Uruguay's lone goal was onside.
