00:00We know this. Every World Cup team has an X-Factor player who can change the entire tournament for them.
00:05Who do you think that player is for the United States?
00:07Who would you say is the X-Factor on this U.S. men's squad?
00:10Well, I mean, I guess this is a little bit the easy answer, but to me, it's Christian Pulisic.
00:16His individual quality, what he can do in one-on-one situations,
00:19that's something that no one else on this team can really replicate.
00:23He's coming into this tournament in good form, scored and had an assist against Senegal.
00:27Yesterday, he was consistently threatening on the ball.
00:30I thought he was probably the U.S. MNT's most effective player in attack.
00:34Obviously, he's the face of this team, and he's one of the faces of this tournament.
00:39The pressure is very much on him, but he's a streaky player,
00:44and we saw that in not as good of a way during the sort of end of the season with
00:50Milan,
00:50and it seems to be turning in the other direction right now.
00:53So that's a really positive development for this team.
