Mark this date down: Pulisic explodes the Twitterverse!

As you know, social media is the craze now for the younger generation and the IMOTGP blog is 100 percent down with that. This blog is known for having the pulse of the youths, much like this famous clip below:

Anyway we know the importance of relating to the younger generation, meaning the teeny-boppers out there with their Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder and I-Sex. The kids out there love them some Christian Pulisic, who demonstrated his solidarity with his generation by self-identifying as a Belieber in this wide-ranging interview. (GLOSSARY for those over 40: Belieber = Justin Bieber fan; Bieber is a performer/celebrity millennials all love)

The teenager finally made his first U.S. start Tuesday night, something the U.S. soccer fan has been clamoring for and he made it count or in the words of Beliebers, the kid was lit! He did everything but score in a 4-0 rout of Trinidad & Tobago that sets up the U.S. nicely in their quest for the World Cup.  The U.S., incidentally, is the only nation to beat four countries during this cycle by knocking off St. Vincent, Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago - all in the space of two matches.

But we digress since the man of the moment is Pulisic (although Jozy Altidore was your Budweiser Man of the Match). Twitter promptly imploded with every mesmerizing feint, touch or pass by the wunderkind. We have culled a few sample tweets from one of the more memorable nights in U.S. football history.

PULISIC IS GOING TO BE A FUCKING LEGEND

Is a Pulisic tattoo premature? Asking for a friend. #USMNT #USAvTRI

Pulisic, man. Dare I put my hope in him? There have been so many pretenders.

Dawg. Sacha and Pulisic >>>>>>> Ronaldo and Bale

Christian Pulisic is going to be the greatest soccer player of all time. That's just a fact.

if Pulisic can make Altidore look this good I regret that Liverpool have already sold Balotelli and Benteke

Pulisic is used to delivering that ball to Auba. Shame he's got Jozy "Concrete" Altidore waiting on him.

Under Armour should just go ahead and sign Pulisic now on a lifetime contract. #USMNT

Pulisic not rated a 99 in #FIFA17 ? Y'all can keep your game @EASPORTSFIFA

Messi is just the Argentinian Pulisic

— Brock the Gym Leader (@TheErikTurner) September 7, 2016

Pulisic is the US version of Luke Skywalker

— juancito (@AdoboJuan) September 7, 2016

Even this non-U.S. fan had to get into the act with Twitter going nuts ...

Might actually start fucking with the #USMNT.. They starting to get players that I like. Pulisic looks legit.

Finally we'll leave it to @zross12 to sum things up about the coaching genius who finally got the lineup right, thus proving that the U.S. fan who "lacks knowledge" about the game unlike sophisticated Europeans could actually coach the team ....

JK: "Who knew Pulisic was this good?"      
                                                     Everyone: /raises hand

— Zachary Ross (@zross12) September 7, 2016

Klinsmann explained that it was his timing to finally start the kid that created the circumstances for the great effort. Said Klinsmann: "As we've said over the last few months, one step at a time, but the step was right today. We watch every training session."

There you have it - confirmation that the coach and his crack staff watch every training session. How dare any of you out there criticize the lineup even though U.S. fans everywhere would put together a better one?

Those of you who want to catch the next game for Pulisic can head to Leipzig on Saturday to see RB "don't call us Red Bull" Leipzig take on Borussia Dortmund.  For those of you who can't make the trip to Saxony, you can tune in on FS2 or keep it here on the IMOTGP for all the match coverage, with Pulisic likely to get in as a late substitute.
