Summary
Christian Pulisic is donning the iconic number ten jersey for the USMNT ahead of the home World Cup, stepping into shoes once worn by soccer legends like Pelé and Messi. After years of wearing other numbers—including his childhood favorite, seventeen—he’s found his stride in ten, scoring and assisting in a recent friendly to silence doubters about his form. Though veteran Tim Ream will captain the team, Pulisic is the face of this squad, having first worn ten in 2015 and officially embracing it in 2016. The number’s legacy stretches back to Bill Fiedler in 1936 and includes giants like Donovan and Reyna, making Pulisic the second player to wear it in a home World Cup. With the tournament on American soil, he’s ready to carry the torch—and the pressure—with the poise of “Captain America.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
