The United States gave a decent account of itself in its first World Cup in eight years in 2022, going 1-0-2 before falling to the Netherlands in the round of 16.
That would not have been possible without AC Milan attacking midfielder/winger Christian Pulisic, whose goal in the 38th minute against Iran helped push the Stars and Stripes through to the next stage. The feat was made even more remarkable by the fact that Pulisic suffered a pelvic contusion scoring the goal.
After the victory, a photo surfaced and quickly went viral of Pulisic celebrating the U.S.’s victory from a hospital bed. In a video clip tweeted Sunday afternoon, Pulisic broke down the photo with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks.
