After an amazing performance on the group stage, USMNT lost to the Netherlands in their round of 16 matches 3-1. Fans were expecting more from the team and their World Cup came to an end after the defeat. The defense that looked strong in the group stage after stopping England from scoring a goal was looking weak in the elimination match. Now, the team has returned to the USA and players have gone for a break. But Christian Pulisic, however, has made it to the crosshair of animal activists.
An old video of Pulisic has resurfaced, which made him the target. The video is from 2021 when he was on a break and was enjoying a vacation on a boat. The 23-year-old posted the video on Instagram captioning, “Life flashed in front of my eyes. What a day on the water.“
