Is Christian Pulisic playing tonight in the USMNT World Cup friendly vs Germany? | OneFootball

The USMNT is playing its last friendly match before its World Cup debut against Paraguay. The team managed by Mauricio Pochettino will face Germany at 2:30 pm ET.

Although the first match against Senegal left good feelings, Germany is one of the tournament favourites, so the USMNT has to bring its “A” game to the field.

Nevertheless, every US fan is wondering whether the team's star, Christian Pulisic, will be in the starting lineup or on the bench.

Is Christian Pulisic playing tonight against Germany?

Mauricio Pochettino has to decide whether to give some players rest or put them in the lineup to see the USMNT's real level against a tough national squad like Germany.

The opening victory boosted fans' spirits, and former US soccer legend Alexi Lalas noted that this team has regained a quality many thought was lost: confidence.

Nevertheless, the essential matter here is that USMNT number ten, Christian Pulisic, will be in the starting lineup against the Germans.

It wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the Argentine manager puts the starters in the first half and takes them out in the second half to avoid any possible injury.

This season, Pulisic played 34 games, scoring 10 goals and delivering four assists. It’s true, this year wasn't the best for the former Chelsea FC offensive player, but he continues to be decisive with the USMNT, and Pochettino knows it.

Plenty of former legends say that this Pulisic is more mature and needs to have as many minutes as possible, because that will help him lead this roster.

After this match, the USMNT will have six days to train and recover before facing their first major test against Albirroja. Christian Pulisic will need to be at his very best if the US hopes to contend for the World Cup title.
