Signature moment
Qatar 2022. Christian Pulisic dives headfirst into an Iranian goalkeeper to score the goal that sent the USMNT to the knockouts — and gets stretchered off doing it. He came back for the Round of 16 against the Netherlands, still bruised, still playing. That's the moment an entire generation of American soccer fans stopped being casual and started being obsessed. Now imagine that energy, but the game is in New York or Los Angeles and 80,000 people are screaming.
The ones to watch
- Christian PulisicFWDAmerica's first genuine superstar — the guy who carried this team on his back before the cavalry arrived.
- Gio ReynaMIDThe crown jewel of the new generation, and the kind of dribbler who makes highlight reels look easy.
- Tyler AdamsMIDThe engine, the leader, the guy who talks to referees so calmly it's almost unsettling.
- Folarin BalogunFWDChose the Stars and Stripes over England and immediately became one of the most exciting strikers in the squad.
- Matt TurnerGKThe brick wall between the posts who became a fan favorite by just refusing to let the ball go in.
One email the morning of their opener. Nothing else.
