I’ve always said that there’s a bit of a different sense of pride when you’re playing for your national team. Christian Pulisic Read Quote
I was watching the 2014 World Cup, and I was playing with the U-17s, I think, at the time. I remember watching it in the summer, and I was like, ‘You know what? It’s a pretty crazy goal, but I want to be there in 2018.’ Christian Pulisic Read Quote
A lot of people have asked me what’s it like being an American player in Europe. ‘Do you have to earn more respect because you’re American?’ But I don’t think it’s like that at all. I think if you’re good, you’re good. They don’t care where you’re from or anything like that. Christian Pulisic Read Quote
I’ve always been hard on myself, so I expect so much out of myself that that pressure can be inspiring at time. Christian Pulisic Read Quote
Why is it that E.U. players are allowed to move country once they turn 16… but non-Europeans can only do so at 18? Why aren’t we campaigning for a level playing field, where our best 16 year olds – who may not have an E.U. passport like I had – are free to move when they turn 16, like the best young players in Europe can?

Just knowing that people are going to the game or something with your jersey on and supporting you is really exciting and was a dream of mine. Every time I see it at Dortmund, at games, it’s still exciting and gets you really excited to play. Christian Pulisic Read Quote
I played one year of competitive basketball, actually. I don’t remember what grade I was in, maybe middle school or something. I was the point guard – I was the smallest one always. I did my best; I thought I did pretty good. I was always a little bit better at soccer, so I had to make the decision. Christian Pulisic Read Quote
