Christian Pulisic Called Up to USMNT

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that Christian Pulisic was created unequally special, that he is endowed, by his Creator, with certain unalienable Talents, that among these are Pace, Technique, and the pursuit of Trophies.

-Probably Thomas Jefferson in 1776

Let’s cut to the chase: Christian “Captain America” Pulisic is a special soccer talent. Maybe the best the US has ever seen. You’ve heard the legends. Youngest foreign Bundesliga scorer. Youngest ever 2 goal scorer. U17 to the first team of a Champions League club in one year.

Pulisic has once again been called up to the senior US Men’s National Team. He’ll be part of the squad that faces St. Vincent and the Grenadines then Trinidad and Tobago over the next two weeks. Still only 17, he is by far the youngest player in the group.
