While leading the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) to a strong start in the Copa America, Captain Christian Pulisic has sparked a different kind of conversation – his hair.
Pulisic appears to be in the midst of growing a mullet, the controversial hairstyle defined by short sides and a longer back section.
This stylistic gamble comes amidst a red-hot performance for Pulisic. He opened the team’s account with a stunning goal just three minutes into their Group C opener against Bolivia.
He then orchestrated a late first-half goal for Folarin Balogun, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory. This goal marked Pulisic’s 30th for the USMNT, tying him with Brian McBride for fifth on the all-time scoring list.
The mullet, once associated with rockers and athletes in the 80s, fell out of favor by the 90s. However, in recent years, it has experienced a resurgence, particularly among younger generations.
Pulisic’s adoption of the iconic business-in-front, party-in-back haircut adds an ironic and fashion-forward twist to his already impressive image.
Fans are eagerly watching Pulisic’s hair transformation, wondering whether the mullet will become a lucky charm for the USMNT or a distraction from their Copa América campaign.
Regardless, one thing is certain: Christian Pulisic is not afraid to take risks—both on and off the pitch. 🇺🇸⚽💇♂️
