Christian Pulisic got the start for the USMNT in their crucial World Cup Qualfier against Mexico. An 18-year-old starting for their national team in such an important game is always a big deal, and the American fans made sure to welcome Christian appropriately before the game.

Check out this tifo of Pulisic. He didn’t play in any of the famous “Dos a cero” victories against Mexico, but that doesn’t stop him from dishing out the banter.

He looks creepy like that because he’s a demon. And he’s haunting Mexicans and giving them nightmares. So far in the match he’s terrorizing them on the pitch as well.

Starting in a big game like this signals just how far Pulisic has come. Jurgen Klinsmann and everyone know that he is the best young player on the USMNT and that the team should be built around him.

He’ll thrive for the USMNT, so maybe this won’t be the last time we see him featured on a tifo.
