There were many questions that came from the U.S. men’s national team’s 3-0 win over Morocco on Wednesday night: Can Brenden Aaronson continue to star in a central role? Will Haji Wright be the answer at striker? Is Aaron Long the best replacement for Miles Robinson?
But the most important question by far surrounded the hairstyle USMNT star Christian Pulisic is developing, specifically: Is it now, or will it ever be, a mullet?
It seems, at the very least, that he is testing the waters. With sides shaved, Pulisic’s back hairline, though still high, is showing signs of creeping down below his ears.
But was it on purpose? Is he just waiting a few days to end his mullet curiosity? Or was it the beginning of the real deal?
And then a sign appeared. As if aware of the intense speculation, Pulisic went on Instagram and made it official.

“Mullet game loading soon,” he said, alongside a picture of the back of his increasingly mulleted head.
With about six months left until the World Cup kicks off, Pulisic could have a free-flowing salad by the time Qatar rolls around, much like Real Betis star Héctor Bellerín.
Of course, Pulisic need not look all the way to Spain for inspiration. In fact, he has a strong mullet role model in his own family.

This is, of course, a developing story. Could Pulisic get a haircut and end the dream? It’s always possible. But it does seem like everything is trending in the right direction for the time being.
