Alexi Lalas sent a bold challenge to Christian Pulisic and the U.S. men's national team after the Stars and Stripes unveiled new kits for 2025.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the U.S. women's national team, U.S. Soccer released two new kits in collaboration with Nike. The Brilliant Kit honors the championship legacy of the USWNT while the Heartbeat Kit recognizes the passionate fanbase of both the USWNT and the USMNT.
Lalas, one of the many former USMNT players to vocally criticize the current squad, took the launch as an opportunity to deliver a message to the team that has underwhelmed under Mauricio Pochettino.
"Well…this team needs to show they have one, starting this summer," Lalas wrote above a photo of Pulisic wearing the Heartbeat Kit.
