Never one to be described as overly talkative, Christian Pulisic offered a concise reply to the question of whether he would be available for the U.S. men’s national team’s World Cup group stage finale against Türkiye on Thursday: “Yes.”
Pulisic lit up the USMNT’s opener against Paraguay with a dazzling first-half performance, leaving Juan Cáceres with twisted blood after having a hand in two of his side’s three goals before the interval. However, the U.S. star did not reemerge for the second half.
