Christian Pulisic has been praised by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford ahead of their two nations meeting in the World Cup group stages on Friday. Pickford's England and Pulisic's USA are set to face off in matchday two with Iran and Wales, the other two teams in the group, playing earlier in the day.
England kicked off their World Cup campaign with a 6-2 win over Iran, while the USA were held to a 1-1 draw with Wales. Pickford was rarely troubled in the the Three Lions goal, with the Everton shot-stopper given no chance for either of Mehdi Taremi's goals.
Pulisic on the other hand was heavily involved for the USA, with his incisive runs causing Wales significant problems with one of those darts specifically leading directly to Timothy Weah's first half goal.
