Why Hershey's Pulisic, 17, is U.S. soccer's rising star

Neighbors in Hershey still remember walking in the Pulisic house and seeing a 5-year-old boy engrossed in a soccer game on television. This was a regular thing. An hour later, they'd look over - still watching.

Even Christian Pulisic's parents knew this was unusual. "You don't see a kid watching a full soccer game," Kelley Pulisic said, remembering how her little guy, not yet on a team himself, would point out an offsides play, like he'd been studying the game for decades.

It's almost as if Christian Pulisic was living a double life. Normal kid who had friends and played all the sports - and complete soccer junkie, one sport always on his mind.
