Do you remember when professional athletes worked hard, played hard, and never acted like vain teenage girls obsessed with taking selfies and posting TikToks?

Kasey Keller, a former U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) soccer player, took a dig Monday at two young American stars, Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah, arguing that they are “more interested in taking Instagram photos” than taking U.S. soccer to the next level to really challenge the world’s best teams. In the recently released episodes of the docuseries “PULISIC,” both Pulisic and Weah addressed criticism from former U.S. players, prompting Keller to fire back. (Subscribe to MR.

“I’m not asking you to have a great game every time you step on the pitch — we know that’s impossible,” Keller said on ESPN FC. “All I’m asking you is to show 100% commitment every time you step on the pitch, and I don’t think anybody watching the US national team over the last year can be honest with themselves and say that you’ve consistently seen a team that is giving 100% every time they step on the pitch.”

“This is stuff they’ve invented. They’ve gone on social media, they’ve got a docu-series … you’ve invented this.” 😯
