Even as a teenager, Christian Pulisic was considered the future of US football. But his generation has yet to achieve a significant victory at a major tournament. The World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium could be the turning point.
In the first group game against Paraguay, Pulisic showed what he is capable of: he slipped through a narrow gap between two defenders to score the US’s first goal of the tournament. That moment highlighted just how much the team depends on him.
Americans are already dreaming of the World Cup title. Whether the US can realize that dream depends largely on whether Pulisic can deliver his best against a strong Belgian side.
