As Landon Donovan declared on the broadcast, the legend of Christian Pulisic continues to grow. The 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund star bagged a brace Thursday in Colorado Thursday night as the USA soundly defeated Trinidad & Tobago 2-0 in a must-win CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier Thursday night in Colorado.
The US had a flurry of chances when John Brooks fired a rocket that required goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams to parry wide, then Jorge Villafana smartly picked out Jozy Altidore on the top of the box, but his shot was straight at the keeper. Minutes later Pulisic broke free on a breakaway, however he was closed down enough to force his shot over the bar.
