Christian Pulisic, who has become known by fans as “Captain America,” sacrificed himself to score the United States’s (USMNT) sole goal in a must win match against Iran in World Cup Group B match at the Al-Thumama Stadium in Doha on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
The 1–0 victory came from the youngest starting lineup ever for the U.S., in front of a 42,127 crowd. Yunus Musah, 20, on Tuesday became the only American to celebrate his birthday in a World Cup match, and at 19 was the youngest American to start a World Cup game last week.
