THE FUSE

Ryan Tolmich: It's early, of course, but, yeah, this is the best version of Pulisic that we've ever seen. To get there, it requires a perfect storm of things to create that version. It requires the right fitness levels, which, to Pulisic's credit, may come as a result of this summer off. It requires a club willing to hand him the keys to dominate. And, most importantly, it requires a supremely confident player with the skill to match. That's Pulisic at the moment, and as long as that confidence remains, the USMNT will have a star ready for the World Cup next summer.
