33 Goals and 23 Assists: Christian Pulisic's USMNT Numbers Are Getting Impossible to Ignore in the World Cup
Alright, Seattle, listen up! It's World Cup Friday, and our boys in red, white, and blue are back on the pitch for their second game! After a killer group stage opener where they absolutely brought the heat, Team USA is locked in to carry that momentum into a huge match against Australia today at 3 p.m. ET. But honestly, all eyes in the Emerald City should be on one guy: Christian Pulisic. There are four matches hitting the global stage today, including powerhouse Brazil taking on Haiti, but the chatter around Pulisic is hitting different, and for good reason.
Captain America Always Shows Up
Forget what you heard about his season with AC Milan, because Martin Green, one of the sharpest soccer experts out there, is absolutely convinced Pulisic is about to go off. Green is backing Pulisic to snag either a goal or an assist today at -105 odds, and honestly, the numbers don't lie. Pulisic has poured in 33 goals and dished out 23 assists in 87 games for Team USA. That's a goal contribution every 108 minutes, folks! It's like he just flips a switch when he pulls on that national team jersey. We saw it happen in their last match: his explosive pace messed with Paraguay's defense, causing an own goal, and then he dropped a dime with a pinpoint cross for Balogun to make it 2-0. This guy is the engine for our team, and we need him to keep that fire blazing.

The Rest of the World Cup Action
Beyond our USMNT, this Friday is stacked with more World Cup drama. After the USA vs. Australia showdown, we've got Scotland vs. Morocco at 6 p.m. ET. SportsLine expert Jon Eimer has a pick locked in for that one, with Martin Green specifically eyeing Morocco at -155 to take down Scotland. Then, at 8:30 p.m. ET, it's the legendary Brazilian squad facing off against Haiti. This one's an absolute mismatch, with Brazil being a global soccer powerhouse and Haiti ranked 85th in the world. Green is predicting a dominant Brazil victory, backing them to cover a 2.5-goal spread. He expects Brazil to hit the ground running, scoring early and often, and to win by at least three goals. And if you're still craving more, Turkiye vs. Paraguay kicks off at 11 p.m. ET to cap off the night.
So, clear your schedule, Seattle! World Cup Friday is here, and it’s going to be a wild one. You know we'll be glued to the screen, cheering on Pulisic and the rest of Team USA as they try to keep this incredible momentum rolling. Can Pulisic deliver another massive performance for the red, white, and blue? You know we’re looking forward to finding out!
