Christian Pulisic’s heroic goal for the U.S. national team on Tuesday came at a price when he was injured on the play. The sequence has left the internet with a burning question that he answered Thursday.
His team’s lone goal of the match was enough for a win and advanced the team to the knockout round, but he suffered a significant injury in the process. Pulisic collided with Iran keeper Alireza Beiranvand and it appeared that he got hit in the groin during the process. He didn’t return in the second half and was eventually diagnosed with a pelvic contusion.
