Christian Pulisic has dreamt about playing in the WorldCup since he was a boy. He was going to do whatever it took to carry USMNT to the knockout rounds, including sacrificing his body. 'Captain America' has lived up to the hype, nrarmour writes:
The momentum of his shot carried Pulisic forward, and he collided at full speed with Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand. Pulisic was down for several minutes before getting up and walking gingerly toward the U.S. sideline. He tried jogging, stopped for a sip of water and then went back into the game.
It was clear he was hurting, however, and he didn’t come out for the second half. He was taken to a local hospital for tests and diagnosed with a “pelvic contusion,” according to U.S. Soccer. Pulisic was back at the team hotel before the rest of the U.S. squad arrived from the game. The U.S. men now play the Netherlands on Saturday with a chance to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002. Pulisic is listed as day-to-day, but McKennie said he has no doubts he’ll be on the field.
“I think he’ll be fine,” McKennie said. “I sent him a text and then we checked on him and he said, 'Best believe I’ll be ready on Saturday.’ So I think he was very happy.”A free kick in the third minute of stoppage time was barely wide of the near post. In the eighth minute of stoppage time, Walker Zimmerman made a goal-line clearance after a shot by Mehdi Taremi got behind Matt Turner.
“I think everyone was screaming so we couldn’t really hear too, too much. He was just excited,” Turner said. “That’s the kind of guy he is. He put everything on the line there and was able to get the ball across the line, something that we haven’t done too, too much in this tournament.Pulisic has been dreaming about playing in the World Cup since he was a little boy. He was going to do whatever it took to get the U.S. men here, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep them here, too.
