Christian Pulisic, who has struggled with Chelsea, looks to stay on track with U.S. men's national team when playing Canada for Nations League title.
Christian Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi scored during a USMNT CONCACAF Nations League semifinal win over Mexico marred by red cards and homophobic chants.
Count Pulisic, the team’s captain in Tyler Adams’ absence, among them. After recording career lows for league starts , minutes , goals and assists at Chelsea, which finished with a losing record for the first time since 1994-95, joining the U.S. camp two weeks ago allowed him to put all that misery behind him.
He’s certainly making progress toward that goal. In his last five starts for the U.S., dating to last fall’s World Cup, Pulisic has scored or assisted on what proved to be the winning goal in three of the team’s four victories. His two scores in the 3-0 win against Mexico — the most lopsided victory ever over El Tri in a CONCACAF match — made him the sixth player in U.S. history to notch 25 goals in international play.
On Sunday, Callaghan will get a pretty good version of a Canadian team that, with a win, could argue it’s the best in the region.
