The U.S. men\u2019s national team may not have won their friendly World Cup tune-up<\/a> against Germany on Saturday but Antonee Robinson provided a goal that will definitely get any American fan hyped for what\u2019s potentially to come.<\/p>\n

The U.S. trailed 1-0 as the match entered the 37th minute. A corner kick was deflected off a German defender\u2019s head and outside of the box where Robinson was waiting for a rocket shot on goal. He blasted the ball past Oliver Baumann to tie the match at one apiece.<\/p>\n

It was Robinson\u2019s fifth international goal for the U.S. and his first this year. He hadn\u2019t scored while playing for the U.S. since 2023.<\/p>\n

“Sick. I mean, it\u2019s a sick goal,” Christian Pulisic said after<\/a> the match.<\/p>\n

Robinson said he had never scored a goal like that in a competitive game.<\/p>\n

“Going into a World Cup it means a lot to have that kind of in my mind that I\u2019ve scored something like that and a bit of freedom to shoot again if I\u2019m in that position,” he said.<\/p>\n

Germany won the match 2-1.<\/p>\n

Despite losing their ninth straight game against a European squad, the Americans felt confident going into the World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I mean against a really good team, I thought we were dangerous at times,” Pulisic said. “We had good stretches of possession, defended well for good portions of it. And, yeah, I mean honestly, I think, we\u2019re feeling good.”<\/p>\n
