Pulisic is a good player, but he’s not a great player. He loves the attention. You can see it in his smirk and arrogant attitude. He loves being the white knight.
I was relieved when Berhalter came on for Pulisic. Pulisic wasn’t playing well even before the injury, and you could tell he couldn’t play effectively with the injury. So, I’m glad he got subbed out, and I’m not going to judge him for wanting to be subbed off.
But to just give a clearer picture of the expectations for Pulisic in this 2026 World Cup. Here are some estimates of off the field income leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
* Pulisic’s off-field commercial earnings: ≈ $20 million
* Entire USMNT roster off-field commercial earnings: ≈ $45–55 million
* Pulisic’s share: approximately 40% (roughly 36–44%).
Pulisic never asked to be the star. People need to know that. We all know he’s private. They had to convince him to do that documentary. He didn’t want to do it.
Larry Bird was getting TV commercial offers and he turned one down famously for about $250,000 The report says Bird was “particular about the TV ads he appeared in,”
The media is trying to make Pulisic out to be the leader of this team. He’s not that guy. He doesn’t have the personality for it. That’s not gonna be his role, not now, not ever. The vocal leader will by players like Tyler Adams.
Pulisic is a great guy, but everyone puts way too much pressure on him. He should probably just step out of the spotlight for a bit so he can focus on his game and get back to form without all the extra noise.
The guy is a big time professional athlete. Criticism comes with the territory. I don't generally like stereotypes but he really seems like a poster child for the fragile generation. Needs to go back to his animes and bubble tea to soothe himself after the loss. It'll be OK.
It's not just about getting some players in the best teams in Europe and bang "we fabricated a winning team." It's the mysticism, the culture the grassroots and the passion. Don't get me wrong but the usmnt looked like a bunch of girls out there. They just don't have the winning mentality and the background for the big leagues. Mexico has players in Europe but it's not an excuse to win. They created a group and an unbreakable ideology. They don't necessarily have to play in the best teams in Europe. When they put on the national jersey it's like a super power. It's about men not names and what you do collective as a team.
Listen, the first half of the first game, Christian Pulisic played at an elite level. There were other teams like France that struggled against Paraguay. Pulisic made it look simple but he dropped off with his injuries But you cannot put the entirety of this world cup fall on him.They don't have enough quality players to make any far run in even if pulisic was at the top of his game and scored eight goals.They may have made it to the quarters, but would have lost.They would not have gone farther net

He's just not that guy, unfortunately.
The issue was with Balogun being allowed to play. That tainted the whole already controversial competition
Pulisic should get a sponsorship deal with charmin toilet paper
Imagine if the World cup was with 128 teams straight Knock out tournament?
Would USA ever reach the last 16? If it was held outside of the USA?……that would mean winning 3 games in a row just to reach the last 16.
First game could be against teams like Georgia or Bolivia
Second game could be against Senegal or Romania
Third game could be against Italy or Colombia
4th game could be like England or Morocco in the last 16
5th game could be like Argentina or Netherlands in the last 8
6th game could be against France or Brazil….then the final.
facts facts
The US team got as far as expected
Are these guys still seriously pretending the US ever had a chance of winning?

Pulisic should never play again. it is embarrassment for the US. I just burned soccer t-shirt with him name on it. Shame!
You can’t force some to lead, plus why aren’t you calling out the one that wears the Captain armband?
Only clowns with zero analytical skills HYPE HYPE HYPE and then DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY.

Pulisic is so overrated, had to run off to Serie A where people go to retire these days.

Pundits and social media influencers defending Pulisic proved Donovan right. He’s protected and is unreachable.
Beckham ‘98 World Cup… that is all.

I was surprised that they didn't pull the Degree Deodorant commercial; the one where Pulisic says he wants to leave a legacy for US soccer.
In a weird way the commercial still works in that people could equate Pulisic with "stinking offensively" and Degree Deodorant as the missing defense.

Dbl teamed….try AGAIN BRO
change soccer from taking ball away to sharp passing for scoring chances including move offsides from midfield to 16m boxes
