Christian Pulisic's forty-five-minute World Cup appearance has become more than a story about injury — it has become a reckoning with expectation, accountability, and the weight a nation places on its most gifted player. When Landon Donovan and Carli Lloyd, two of American soccer's most respected voices, step forward to name frustration openly, it signals that something deeper than a single match has been strained. The 2026 World Cup was meant to be a homecoming for Pulisic; instead, it has exposed the fragile architecture of trust between a star and the program that carries him.
