U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) superstar Christian Pulisic was on absolute fire Sunday evening, scoring a goal in the third minute of the match and throwing up another via assist when striker Folarin Balogun tallied one in the 44th minute. And the brilliant performance led the U.S. to a 2-0 victory over Bolivia in their opener of the Copa América.
Joining USMNT legend Clint Dempsey, Pulisic is the only player in program history to rack up a goal and assist during a Copa América game. On top of that, he’s scored 30 goals in 69 international appearances, which is the lowest of the Americans.
One of the six guests that were invited to the South American championship, the expectations are the United States will advance out of Group C into the knockout stage. Uruguay is expected to be the other team from the group.
