Christian Pulisic has USA on verge of World Cup qualification

In a must-win game against Panana, USA winger Christian Pulisic delivered in the best way possible. In front of the home fans in Orlando, the Chelsea FC star recorded a hat-trick for the red, white and blue.

Now, the USA is guaranteed at minimum a fourth-place finish, which would mean a playoff to enter the World Cup. However, due to goal differential, it looks like the USA has wrapped up a WC berth.

After missing the tournament in 2018, there was massive pressure on the U.S. to right the ship and get back for 2022. Thanks to Pulisic playing a big role in things, it looks like they're going to get the job done.
