USMNT's Tim Weah Stands by ‘Evil’ Criticism of Former Players

U.S. men's national team forward Tim Weah has firmly stood by his controversial comments calling former USMNT players-turned-pundits "evil" for their criticism of the current team, made during Christian Pulisic's Paramount+ docuseries. Weah accused the critics of "chasing checks" and pointed out that despite their status as former players, they had not won significant titles, contrasting this with Pulisic's successful career. While Weah expressed respect for those former players, he emphasized that he has no regrets about his remarks. Despite the controversy, Weah is focused on moving past the negativity and concentrating on the team's preparation and performance ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the U.S. will co-host. Having recently transferred from Juventus to Marseille, Weah is back with the USMNT and committed to helping the team reach the next level. Both he and Pulisic are part of the squad preparing for upcoming friendlies as they build toward the World Cup next summer.
