Christian Pulisic is expected to play a key role for the US men's national team at the 2026 World Cup, with some speculation that he could become the greatest USMNT player. However, reports also indicate that the team's performance has been disappointing, with a dismal exit from the World Cup. Pulisic's status for an upcoming match against Australia has been uncertain due to an injury, but teammates have suggested he will be ready to play.
