Regarding club career, is there semantics in his "first friendly" which excludes friendly matches during season breaks? Pulisic participated in the friendlies on Jan.12 against Eintracht Frankfurt (with an assist), Jan.15 against Jeonbuk Hyundia (with a goal), and on Jan.19 against Sparta Praha. All three were during the season break before the Jan.24 friendly against 1. FC Union Berlin which is cited as his first friendly.

Football vs Soccer Pulisic grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania. His parents, Mark and Kelley Pulisic, both played collegiate football at George Mason University

Football? It is referenced as soccer everywhere in this article except for a quote. Also given that american collegiate football would be american football. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.231.208.128 (talk) 11:44, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Soccer vs Football

I notice the article uses Soccer instead of Football. An editor argues that it should be soccer as the subject is American but the subject appears to play the bulk of his career in Europe, which would be football. Perhaps the original creator of the article's choice (football) should be the tie-breaker? Ifnord (talk) 18:01, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

agreed. Quenreerer (talk) 17:09, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the consensus is that we use the terminology that is the commonplace in the subject's home country, so soccer in this case. A move discussion at David Wagner's talk page is a good example of this. Pulisic's page has also been discussed before (albeit briefly). Kosack (talk) 20:01, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This, of course. Why on Earth would we use the article creator's choice of wording as a tie-breaker?! Mattythewhite (talk) 23:01, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The first mention of Soccer is linked to "Association football", therefore I think that keeping it at Soccer should be fine Haris920 (talk) 14:19, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since he’s playing in England right now, I think “football player” would be more accurate. Gonzaloges (talk) 15:13, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Name Pronunciation

The pronunciation for his name using Croatian conventions, though he has said he prefers the American pronunciation.

under "International Career", it should be added that on November 30, 2022, Pulisic scored the winning goal against the Iran National Team in the World Cup Group stage, advancing the USNT to the round of 16" GabeMelvin (talk) 21:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Height

The article lists his height as 5'10", and cites Chelsea's roster page, which agrees. The USMNT lists him as 5'7":

https://www.ussoccer.com/players/p/christian-pulisic

That seems closer to the truth comparing him to others on the pitch. I suggest going with the USMNT. Objections? tlesher (talk) 18:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tlesher While I agree that he's more like 5'7"/5'8", this is verifiability, not truth comes into play. IIRC, US Soccer has had him listed as 5'7" since he joined the senior squad in 2017 and was listed as 5'10" when he joined Chelsea in 2019. It's not entirely implausible for a 19 year-old to grow a couple of inches, but we really don't know. It doesn't help that unlike, say, the NBA or NFL, there's no uniform/standardized height measurement — we just take the clubs and federations at their word. Oh, and Major League Soccer (which he has never played in, but whatever) lists him at 5'8". Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 18:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pulisic was directly involved in the USMNT's three world cup goals, providing an assist for Tim Weah against Wales, scoring against Iran, and providing and assist for Haji Wright against The Netherlands in the Round of 16. Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Change "He often posts Bible verses on his social media accounts." to "He has posted Bible verses on his social media accounts."

The references to the former is insufficient to claim "often" with the additional connotation that this is ongoing. 72.66.91.139 (talk) 18:40, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
