My Take
What strikes me most about Pulisic isn't the Captain America nickname — it's how little he seems to need it. He grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a chocolate town with no soccer pedigree, and willed himself into Europe's elite, now carrying AC Milan's attack and an entire nation's footballing self-image. I admire players who answer physical punishment with directness rather than theatrics, and that is his signature: take the hit, get up, run at the defender again. For American soccer he isn't just its best player; he is proof of concept, and he keeps raising the sport's ceiling there.
