PARADISE, Nev. — Christian Pulisic waltzed into the post-match mixed zone with his arms overflowing and a party bus awaiting. He and the U.S. men's national team had just won the CONCACAF Nations League. A shiny soccer ball-shaped trophy, his reward as the tournament's best player, was cradled in one hand.

They erupted in cheers, though one seemed to realize:"That was not smart, bro!"
