While Pulisic himself didn’t play a critical role in the USMNT’s Gold Cup run, he is inarguably the face of the country as it pertains to soccer. After Pulisic hit the scorer’s sheet, American soccer fans went wild.

Find it amusing that now Pulisic haters are using “he goes down too easy” as their reason to not support him today. 🙄

There were many, many more from across the country.
While the American soccer star will always have a target on his back, his accomplishments of late cannot be questioned.
From Hershey, Pennsylvania to a Champions League winner. And he’s only 22 years old!
The best is yet to come.
