Christian Pulisic is loving life with the USMNT and AC Milan. The former Chelsea forward is in electric form this season, with his seven goals and four assists at club level standing testament to the same.
The winger helped USMNT earn a 4-2 win over Jamaica in the CONCACAF Nations League and saw his team progress to the semifinals with a 5-2 aggregate score. Despite the impressive scoreline, Pulisic made headlines for his surprising choice of celebration.
Pulisic opened the scoring for the hosts in the 13th minute when Weston McKennie set up the captain for a golden chance. Following his cross into the penalty, Pulisic poked the ball past Andre Blake. He then went on to celebrate in an interesting fashion, surprising fans in the stadium as well as on social media.
In the wake of Donald Trump winning the 2024 election, Christian Pulisic opted to mimic the President-elect’s dance. The 26-year-old swerved his hips from side to side, pumping his arms beside him. Watch a video of the same below:

Mauricio Pochettino’s ‘equal opportunity’ claim offers hope for MLS stars
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino made headlines ahead of his side’s win over Jamaica as he promised ‘equal opportunity’ to all his players. The former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss took over the team in September.
Though they won both legs against Jamaica, questions have been asked about his team selection. The ‘problem’ takes root from the fact that there are only four MLS players in Pochettino’s squad, although 17 were developed through the US youth soccer system.
It’s not easy to play in the MLS. They have the same possibility of playing as those in the Premier League, La Liga, in Belgium and France.

Puchettino clarified that the players know about this in private and now in public as well. He used the example of Inter Miami and Lionel Messi to demonstrate how the ‘best player on the planet’ plays in the MLS.
