Pulisic Calls Criticism 'Way Out of Line,' Offered to Play in Friendlies and Skip Gold Cup
- Christian Pulisic, the USA men's national team captain, defended his decision to skip the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup and criticized questioning of his commitment during a June 12 interview.
- Pulisic opted out to rest after playing over 120 games for AC Milan and the U.S. in two years, and U.S. coaches rejected his request to join friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland citing one roster only.
- The U.S. lost both friendlies, 2-1 to Turkey and 4-0 to Switzerland, extending their losing streak to four games, the first since 2007, amid criticism from former stars like Landon Donovan.
- Pulisic expressed frustration at criticisms doubting his dedication to the national team, calling such accusations unwarranted, and lamented the negative narratives that create division between fans and players.
- Pulisic aims to return fit and hopes fans will change views once he contributes again while the team prepares to open the Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago this Sunday.
