"I think a lot of American players have paved the way over here (in Europe) and haven't got enough credit for that.

"Over the years there's been a ton of guys that have played in the Premier League and even in Europe. They have really made a name for us over here.

"Now you see a lot of Americans getting chances and it's unbelievable to see the amount of Americans playing on weekends, the number has just gone up and it will continue to do that.

Look at players like Christian Pulisic, he's so dynamic on the ball and has the technique and that's growing in American players and can be seen in Europe."

After England, the USA will face
