The teenager is answering every question for European club and country, and Jurgen Klinsmann has no choice but to start him.
There is an American winger playing legitimate minutes on a top German Champions League team, with excellent technical ability, speed, finishing, and the ability to create significant goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Not old enough to drive himself to practice, but plenty old enough to do stuff like this, now-barely-18-year-old Christian Pulisic has been making U.S. Soccer fans’ mouths water for some time whilst Jurgen Klinsmann continued shuffling through his Rolodex of 30-some-odd-year-old attackers to find just the right mix of veteran toughness and mediocre results.
With his last week at his club — where he started a Champions League group-stage match and scored in Bundesliga play — as further evidence, there’s really no decision for Klinsmann anymore, though: Pulisic must start against Mexico in the first match of the Hexagonal in November, and forever more.
Skrade. Like Brady.
