Christian Pulisic Discusses Playing for USA in 2020 Summer Olympics

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic won't rule out playing for the United States in the 2020 Summer Olympics, saying it would be an honour to represent the Stars and Stripes in Tokyo.

Per the Associated Press (for ESPN), the youngster was asked about possibly participating in the tournament on Wednesday, two days before a friendly against Mexico: "I would never completely count that out because it's a huge honour to play for your country in the Olympics. A lot of factors come into play, I guess, but we'll see."

He also believes the Americans have the talent to do well in Japan, and perhaps even win, just as El Tri did in 2012: "We're a confident young group of guys and I think there's no reason why we couldn't.
