Christian Pulisic Golden Boot Analysis

While Pulisic is likely to be at the heart of most of what the Americans generate in attack, his Golden Boot chances are held down by two things -- he's not a striker and he plays on a meh team.

Pulisic may occupy central positions more this summer than he usually does for AC Milan, but he'll still likely spend a lot of time deeper and out wide, which may result in him being in a better position for creating chances moreso than finishing them.

As for the team dynamic, most of the top players in the Golden Boot odds play for elite sides that have a good chance to make a deep run. More games means more chances for goals. But Pulisic suits up for a US side that owns +270 odds to make the World Cup quarterfinals.

To truly threaten for the Golden Boot, Pulisic would likely need to have a single-game eruption at some point or for the US to make a Cinderella run -- or maybe both.
