Should the USA take a chance and start Christian Pulisic against Australia?

Captain Tyler Adams has said he will be ready in time…

antonymmartin844mo ago

Nope. Can play the last 20 if needed

dantowen819514mo ago

Don’t think so. Already got 3 points under the belt so it’s worth resting Pulisic for this one

jonny4mo ago

Keep him for the tougher games, they’ve enough to beat Australia without him

kyle.dimond4mo ago

Definitely not. Break glass in the last 30 mins if there’s still something to get out of the game. So much of the groups is about squad management

callum_boyle4mo ago

They’ve effectively got four points already with that goal difference doing some heavy lifting. Don’t risk it and have him injured for longer. Get him fit and firing for later on

seanfisher4mo ago

Because of their big win in the first match, they don’t need to risk it at all Imagine the outrage if he got seriously injured unnecessarily

harveyleonard994mo ago

A win isn’t essential so no point risking if he’s not fit enough

markmarston4mo ago

Nope - have to have fit and sharp players in what could potentially be a deciding game

charlesjones4mo ago

If he’s fit play him. You don’t get many chances to play at a World Cup, especially on home soil.

jamesshearman234mo ago

Could also say they don’t get many chances to make a QF so why risk him getting injured now

josh.barker4mo ago

No qualification probably guaranteed with just another win from two anyway so save him

peter.lynch4mo ago

No need to take such a risk at this stage. They have enough going forward to fill in right now

jamesshearman234mo ago

Bench him and bring him on for 30 mins if needed. USA should beat Australia without him

freddie4mo ago

Absolutely not! Far too important to the team and with such a big win in first game, don’t HAVE to go out and beat Australia… although I think they will even without him
