American star Christian Pulisic says while he decided to skip the CONCACAF Gold Cup, U.S. coaches turned down his offer to play in friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland because they wanted one roster for all games. “You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment especially toward the national team, in my opinion that’s way out of line,” Pulisic said during an interview with former U.S. players Tony Meola, Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davis on a CBS Sports Golazo podcast released Thursday. Pulisic played about 120 games for AC Milan and the U.S. over the past two seasons.
