The USMNT are preparing for the World Cup in Qatar as they try to make an impression on the rest of the World. They couldn’t make it to the competition in 2018, but the team has improved a lot in the past four years. Several USMNT superstars are now playing in European leagues, and Gregg Berhalter has a lot of decisions to make. These next six months would determine and shape the entire USMNT squad. As a result, the friendlies in June will be very important for the team. The USMNT are playing two friendlies against Morocco and Uruguay. The first friendly against Morocco will be played on the 1st of June at 7:30 PM ET. The match will be played at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. The friendly match will be streamed on TV in the USA on ESPN 2, UniMas, and TUDN. THE USMNT ROSTER FOR THE MATCH Gregg Berhalter has gone with his strongest squad [https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/world-cup-bound-usmnt-name-27-player-roster-for-june-friendlies-nations-league-g] for the team with the exception of Giovanni Reyna and Sergino Dest. Both of them have been injured and will take some time to recover. Moreover, they are also going to miss the Nations League matches for the USMNT in the late end of June. However, Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic and Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie are there in the squad. Pulisic will try and shrug off another disappointing season in the Premier League and find his form for his nation. On the other hand, McKennie is returning after a long-term injury and would like to get his match fitness back. USMNT’S PROSPECTS AT THE WORLD CUP IN QATAR Berhalter would use this opportunity to determine the two problem positions in the USMNT squad, a striker and a goalkeeper. Manchester City shot-stopper Zack Steffen is missing from the squad due to family reasons and, as a result, Matt Turner would get the chance to prove himself. In the terms of strikers, Haji Wright will get a chance to grab a spot in the team along with young stars Jesus Ferreira and Brendan Aaronson. It will be interesting to see who will lead the line for the USMNT in the end.

The USMNT will take on Morocco in a friendly match before the Nations League in
June to finalize their squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

<h2 class="jsx-2716971373" style="text-align: center">Christian Pulisic: <strong>Career, Achievements, </strong><strong>Net Worth in 2024, </strong><strong>and </strong><strong>Personal Life</strong></h2>
Christian Pulisic has come a long way from the quiet streets of Hershey, Pennsylvania, to the packed stadiums of Europe’s biggest clubs. He’s blazed a trail for American players, proving that the U.S. can bring some serious talent to the soccer world. And while Pulisic might not be the loudest voice on the field, his skill and drive have turned him into one of America’s most successful soccer exports. From his time breaking through in Germany to new beginnings in Italy, Pulisic’s career is still on the rise. Here’s a look at his journey, his achievements, his net worth in 2024, and some personal interests off the field.

He was born on September 18, 1998, to Mark Pulisic and Kelly Pulisic in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Likewise, he started playing soccer at the age of seven for Brackley Town youth academy. Thus, his career started from there. From there, he trained with the PA Classics Club which is an affiliate of the USA Soccer Development Academy while playing with Harrisburg City Islanders as well.

<h3>From Pennsylvania to the Bundesliga</h3>
Pulisic’s career began on familiar grounds, with parents who were former college soccer players themselves. By age 7, he was already ahead of his peers, and by 16, he was taking his talents to Borussia Dortmund in Germany’s Bundesliga. There, he adjusted to a new culture and language—a tough transition for any teenager. But Pulisic adapted quickly, and his focus paid off.

By 17, he was already making appearances for Dortmund’s first team, becoming one of the youngest foreign players to score in the Bundesliga. Fans took notice of his skill, his confidence on the ball, and his knack for finding the net. Those early years at Dortmund were about more than just soccer for Pulisic—they set the foundation for his career, both as a player and as the “American kid” breaking barriers in European soccer.

After <a href="https://sportsshow.net/christian-pulisic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scoring</a> 10 goals for Dortmund, big clubs came calling he moved to Chelsea for a reported fee of $73 million and he became the most expensive American soccer player of all time.

The mazy dribbler from Pennsylvania made his debut against Manchester United on 11th August 2019. The American started strongly and scored a hattrick against Burnley; likewise, became the youngest player to score three goals for Chelsea. Last season, he won the Champions League with the Blues as he already is one of the best players at the club.

Significantly, he is one of the most important players for the USMNT. By captaining his side in the 2015 under-17 World Cup, Pulisic proved to be the difference for the Americans in many competitions. He scored 20 goals in 34 appearances for his country. His first-team senior call-up came on 27th March 2016 while making his debut against Guatemala on March 30th, 2016. The soccer player has scored 16 goals from 40 appearances fr the USMNT.

<h3>The Chelsea Chapter: Success and Setbacks</h3>
In 2019, Pulisic made headlines when he signed with Chelsea FC for $73 million, setting a record for an American player. Moving to the Premier League was a big step, putting him in one of the world’s most competitive leagues and under an even brighter spotlight. The physicality of English soccer tested him, and there were definitely moments when he had to battle for his place in a crowded Chelsea lineup.

One of Pulisic’s defining moments came during Chelsea’s 2020-21 Champions League run, where he played a key role in taking the club to the final. Chelsea went on to lift the trophy, and Pulisic became the first American to win a Champions League final. It was a milestone that put him in the history books and further solidified his reputation abroad. But while he had some incredible moments, injuries often kept him off the field, and his time at Chelsea was a mix of highs and tough breaks.
<h3>2024: Finding a New Groove at AC Milan</h3>
After Chelsea, Pulisic decided to take a new path in 2023, signing with AC Milan in Italy’s Serie A. For him, this wasn’t just about finding a new club—it was a fresh start. Italy’s style of play is more tactical and slower-paced compared to the Premier League, which has allowed Pulisic to find his rhythm and showcase his technical skills.

So far, he’s fitting in well with Milan, scoring goals and contributing to the team’s attack. Italian fans have embraced him, and Pulisic’s getting more playing time, something he’d struggled with during his Chelsea years. By 2024, he’s proving that he can adapt to a new environment once again, keeping his game sharp and finding his place among Milan’s roster. The move has also given him a fresh stage to show what he’s capable of as one of the U.S.’s biggest soccer names.
<h3>Career Achievements So Far</h3>
At 26, Pulisic has packed a lot of achievements into his career already. During his time at Dortmund, he won a German Cup title and set records as one of the youngest foreigners to score in the Bundesliga. With Chelsea, he made history by winning the Champions League, plus a UEFA Super Cup title.

Pulisic’s role in the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) is just as big. He’s been a key player in the squad, leading the team in goals and assists through multiple tournaments. His standout moment came during the 2021 CONCACAF Nations League final against Mexico, where he scored a crucial penalty to secure the title. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Pulisic’s experience and leadership will be essential for the USMNT as they aim to make a strong showing on home soil.
<h2>Christian Pulisic's Net Worth in 2024: Big Contracts and Big Brand Deals</h2>
By 2024, Pulisic’s net worth is estimated to be around <strong>$40 million</strong>. That number comes not just from his club contracts but also from endorsement deals with major brands. Puma, in particular, has backed him as a global ambassador, while EA Sports regularly features him in their FIFA series promotions. Pulisic’s deals reflect his growing popularity as both a player and a marketable American star abroad.

The other endorsement brands are Hersey's, fast-food restaurant Chipotle, and the energy drink company, Gatorade. Nevertheless, he promotes the soccer training app Perfect Play.

The American has done much charity work for the people. Notably, a young fan donated a Pulisic jersey to the relief fund for the victims of a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico. Learning the noble gesture, the American gifted a jersey while contributing to the relief fund.

He made contributions to 'Feeding America', a charity that tackled food poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic. He delivered food while associating with Chipotle to the staff at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

Pulisic’s story is far from over. As of 2024, he’s got years ahead of him in the game, and he’s already considered one of the most accomplished American players in Europe. His next big goals? Helping Milan find success in Serie A and continuing to lead the USMNT as they look toward the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the U.S.
