LA Times  

U.S. forward Christian Pulisic, right, controls the ball in front of two Wales players during a 1-1 draw between the teams in group play at the World Cup on Monday. “Being in a position with less than 15 minutes left to walk away with three points, it feels like we could have deserved a little bit more.” And no one deserved a better result more than Pulisic, whose perfectly weighted pass freed Tim Weah for the lone U.S. goal in the 36th minute. Gareth Bale celebrates after scoring a game-tying goal on a penalty kick against the U.S. Wales star Gareth Bale celebrates after scoring past U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner on a penalty kick in the 82nd minute. “We talked about it before the game — every play matters,” said U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter, the only American to play and manage the U.S. in a World Cup.
