ESPN FC's Taylor Twellman believes Christian Pulisic made a 'massive statement' with the fight he showed against Panama.

Former Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann believes that U.S. international Christian Pulisic has the potential to reach the highest of ambitions in football. And he thinks Jurgen Klinsmann deserves some of the credit for the 18-year-old's meteoric rise.

"He plays without any pressure, he just enjoys himself out on the pitch.
