Daily News | Christian Pulisic counting on team effort to advance USMNT World Cup dream
Christian Pulisic scored the game-winning goal against Iran this past Tuesday, injuring himself in the process. His status is “day to day,” but he’s doing everything in his power to be ready to play this weekend.Pulisic had the assist on Weah’s goal against Wales, playing a pivotal role in creating that opportunity. Against England he was named Man of the Match. And against Iran, he got the goal, the desperation goal, the one needed to bring the US to this moment.
Immediately, he demurred. “Feels great to score in a World Cup, Timmy knows what that’s like”, he says, nodding to Tim Weah at his side. Pulisic collapsed in pain as the ball went in, deprived of any celebration. He calls the moment confusing. He knew the ball had gone in, but as his teammates kept their distance and tried to make sure he was okay, he was concerned the goal was offside: “You never know nowadays.”
Pulisic spoke with media before US training Thursday evening at Al-Gharafa, saying he’d meet again with the training staff and see how he was feeling. It wasn’t determined yet whether he’d train that night. He added, though, he’d work with that same medical team to do everything possible to be ready on Saturday.
