After failing to qualify for the 2017 FIFA World Cup as an 18-year-old, Christian Pulisic will carry the weight of expectations for the young U.S. men’s team at Qatar 2022.
“For them to have a real win, when teams are playing really hard, you’re going to need your star man,” Holden said. “Pulisic, we’ve seen him off the bench, we’ve seen mixed performances, but really, great performances and great games for the USA, all of that was with Christian Pulisic at his best.”
