The 2022 World Cup is with us and the United States Men’s National Team arrives with hopes that this generation of exciting young players can provide enough evidence of progress in Qatar to take forward into the home competition four years from now. And leading them on their journey is their captain, Christian Pulisic.

How will the USMNT breakdown Wales' back five?

Brenden Aaronson and Christian Pulisic said to look at how the US attacked Morocco in June for hints, so that's what @PaulTenorio and I did.

Pulisic making his World Cup bow

So, I went digging for some World Cup stats about the man known as Captain America but is actually not the captain of America in this tournament. That honour goes to Tyler Adams.

But as you may already know, this is the first time that the Chelsea man, like other in the team, has participated in a World Cup. That means, every dribble, tackle, assist and goal that he makes in Qatar will be registered from scratch... and we be keeping a very close eye.

Christian Pulisic will make his @FIFAWorldCup debut later as the young leader of the @USMNT .

Sure, it's a lot of pressure ... but maybe that's not a bad thing.
