#1. Pulisic Created History Multiple Times for the US National Team

Pulisic representing his country

Although eligible to replace Croatia through his grandfather Mate, Christian opted to represent the country of his birth. In hindsight, it’s proven to be a brilliant decision on Pulisic’s part as he’s not only the youngest ever American to play in a World Cup qualifier but also the youngest American Player of the Year at 19 – breaking Landon Donovan’s longstanding record and the youngest ever player to captain the United States National Team.

So far, Pulisic has netted 9 goals in 23 appearances for the United States, and with his talents just scratching the surface you can expect to see a lot more of him in the future. In fact, by the look of things he's already well on his way to becoming an American football great, in the mould of Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and others before him.
