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.
Christian Pulisic’s mullet in full flow at the Copa America
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. 🇺🇸⚽💇♂️
