Christian Pulisic, his father and Tim Weah rail against ‘evil’ US soccer critics

Tim Weah, Christian Pulisic and his father, Mark, delivered searing takes on ex-US men’s national team players who criticized the team during their recent run of bad form, with Weah calling the pundits “evil”.

The trio made the comments in the latest epsiode of the Pulsic docuseries on Paramount+, the final episodes of which were released this week. The new episodes cover the national team from the 2024 Copa América, in which the US underperformed by exiting at the group stage, up through the 2025 Nations League final, where the US lost against Panama and Canada en route to a disappointing fourth-place finish in a competition they had won in each of the previous three editions. Following that tournament, Pulisic kicked off a media firestorm when he announced that he would skip the 2025 Gold Cup, the team’s last competitive tournament before next year’s World Cup on home soil, due to fatigue after a second-straight 50-game season with Milan.
