Pulisic open to playing for U.S. at 2020 Olympics

Christian Pulisic thinks all the talented young American players could go far in next year's Olympic men's soccer tournament -- and he could be one of them.

"I would never completely count that out because it's a huge honor to play for your country in the Olympics," the 20-year-old Chelsea midfielder said on Wednesday, two days before the U.S. senior team plays Mexico in an exhibition.

Olympic men's soccer qualifying is limited to players under 23, with three overage players allowed for the final tournament in Japan. Age-eligible Americans include Pulisic and midfielders Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams and Tim Weah.
