The United States men’s national team may not have won its World Cup friendly against Germany on Saturday, but Antonee Robinson scored a goal that will certainly have all American fans excited about what could happen.
The United States trailed 1-0 in the 37th minute of the match. A corner was deflected over the head of a German defender and outside the box where Robinson was waiting for a rocket shot at goal. He sent the ball past Oliver Baumann to tie the game at one apiece.

It was Robinson’s fifth international goal for the United States and his first this year. He had not scored while playing for the United States since 2023.
“Sick. I mean, it’s a sick goal,” Christian Pulisic said after the match.
Robinson said he had never scored a goal like that in a competitive match.
“Coming into a World Cup, it means a lot to have in mind that I scored something like that and a little bit of freedom to shoot again if I’m in that position,” he said.

Germany won the match 2-1.
Despite their ninth straight loss to a European team, the Americans were feeling confident heading into the World Cup.
“I mean, against a very good team, I thought we were dangerous at times,” Pulisic said. “We had good periods of possession, defended well for good games. And, yeah, I mean honestly, I think we feel good.”
