Winning at Estadio Azteca is tough enough against Mexico. Doing that when USMNT star Christian Pulisic misses an easy opportunity? good luck.
Pulisic is Captain America, or at least that’s how the story is supposed to go.
However, the USMNT star missed an easy first-half opportunity against Mexico that would have given the Americans a vital road goal in their quest to qualify for the World Cup.
Qualifying in CONCACAF used to be no big deal, but with the likes of Canada and Panama suddenly on the rise, and Mexico and Costa Rica staying steady, USMNT is by no means guaranteed.
Missing the World Cup for the second year in a row would be disastrous. It can’t be described until it happens, and it should result in more of a response than a Taylor Twillman reaction.
How tall is Christian Pulisic?
Pulisic is listed as 5-foot-10, although reports say he’s closer to 5-9.
USMNT fans react to Christian Pulisic who is close to goal
Pulisic had the opportunity on the cusp of Mexico in the first half, only to shoot the ball straight at Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
USMNT fans have not reacted so nicely, as this is an opportunity Pulisic is expected to bury. He has two goals in his last goal Four games with Chelsea. Why the struggle at the international level?
There were plenty, as Pulisic had every chance to bury his chance.
Here’s hoping to get another.
