Christian Pulisic's 'rest' comment after World Cup exit draws strong reactions from USA soccer legends

Entering the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the darling of the United States Men's National Team, the public has done a 180 on Christian Pulisic.

The 27-year-old AC Milan star has been the face of USA soccer since at least the turn of the decade, but the fact is that he was a major disappointment throughout the tournament.

Sure, it did not help that he re-aggravated a calf injury in the opener, which led to him missing the equivalent of roughly two full games, but even when he was on the pitch, he did not make much of a difference.
