Now he has boosted the United States to the cusp of a World Cup return with the first international hat trick of his career. He had fired up his team, celebrated by doing the worm dance for a fan, earned a yellow card for dissent and crowned the night by sharing victory with his mom and dad. Pulisic, a 23-year-old from Hershey, Pennsylvania, is among just four holdovers from the team that flamed out in that final night of the Clint Dempsey-Tim Howard generation, joined by Paul Arriola, DeAndre Yedlin and Kellyn Acosta. Arriola was the only other one on the field against Panama, scoring and assisting as part of the 17-touch sequence capped by Jesús Ferreira’s goal.
Pulisic already is tied for seventh on the U.S. career scoring list with 21 goals. His European club career is unparalleled for an American.
