When the United States squares off against rival Mexico on Friday night, the team's biggest star will not be part of the starting 11. Christian Pulisic is as a substitute instead of a member of the starting lineup.
The decision was made earlier in the week, but the United States officially released its starting lineup an hour prior to Friday night's kickoff, and it does not include Pulisic. Head coach Gregg Berhalter plans to bring him in off the bench.
The casual fan may be wondering where the young United States star is when the ball is kicked off.
