Daily News | Christian Pulisic is a Team USA hero at the World Cup, but he’s not alone
U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie helps his teammate forward Christian Pulisic during the match against England at Al Bayt Stadium in Group B play of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Nov. 25.DOHA, Qatar — Christian Pulisic scored his first-ever World Cup goal in exceptionally dramatic fashion. But he didn’t get a chance to celebrate. Or at least, not immediately.
Overall, the US has played well this tournament. But they have also been looking for goals in desperation, struggling to find them for some time. Ultimately, it was Pulisic that came through, yet it really required the full team. The goal was the culmination of squad synergy. Combined with the steady, stoic defending that defined the second half, it was enough to defeat Iran and continue Team USA’s World Cup trajectory.
Dest and Robinson have been tenacious defensively and aggressive in attack. Voted in as team captain when the World Cup began, Adams now leads the midfield, covering an impressive amount of ground every match. Yunus Musah and McKennie have turned in exemplary performances each night by his side.
