Just two-and-a-half years after putting his body on the line to secure passage to the World Cup knockouts, ‘Captain America’ decided to skip the USA’s last chance at playing competitive matches prior to the World Cup. It did not go down well amongst the millions of USMNT supporters.
He didn’t let the criticism get to him – instead, he kicked off the season in red-hot form. Despite missing a month with a hamstring injury, Pulisic had racked up 10 goals and two assists in all competitions by New Year’s Eve. But in 2026, Pulisic’s form has nosedived.
