Sports Illustrated host Robin Lundberg spoke with Aaronson about the jubilation around Pulisic’s goal and the challenge he faced stepping in for him, as well as what his role could be moving forward against the Netherlands.

New Jersey has a long history of producing USA’s best soccer players!
😂😂😂 Is that so? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Blows my mind how likable all the USMNT players are.
Yeah you are here to win and Holland came to loose 🤣
1:35 Iranian journalist punching the wall🤣
Brendan said
“eff you. I’m still saying I-ran” lol 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Have they shrunk yet?
Brendon Aaronson is quality on and off the field. I am so proud of all our guys for showing the best of our nation to the world with their brotherhood, humble attitudes, and playing every minute with their whole hearts. Go USA!
Happy to hear him talk.
This dude is my favorite player since Frankie.
Floats like a butterfly- stings like a beast! Unintimidated!!!
Lol he mispronounces Iran.
USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇲
Somehow the media found a way to promote grifter and race hustler Corey Booker in Brendan's interview. SMH
What impresses me most about our young team is how modest and mature they all are. No big egos, everyone works together.
Senator angry eyes 👀
Matt Turner another Jersey boy. Bergen County boy.
Hearing Brendan Aronson talk about younger players made my knees creak like I was 380 years old…..
Even if tomorrow is our last game in the tournament, which is definitely not a guarantee, this young core of our team will be a force in 2026 when we host. There are more guys in our talent pool like Aaronsen, Adams, Dest, etc coming up. Future is immensely bright for our men’s program. Go get em, tomorrow, boys!
One thing I will give Klinsmann credit for is the establishment of our academy system which is now hearing fruit with guys like Aaronson, his brother, Caden Clark, Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisic, etc. A lot of this current squad are products of that system. And more are coming.
This interviewer is rough. But brenden is great guy
Where is Gio!?
Just wait until his younger brother is out there too…
Well next up is the knock out stages, so it is win or go home like the playoffs. Best of luck to the final 16 top teams in the world. Winner advances and losers go home now.
Hope this young man bags a goal for himself, love his work rate
so proud of every single one of these young men. their effort and success are going to have rippling effects for generations to come and it's amazing to watch in real time.
Brandon is very super smart of a player that wana win no matter what
