Watch: Pulisic sets up Altidore for sliding finish
There's a very real possibility that Christian Pulisic is already the best player on the United States men's national team.
The prodigious 17-year-old midfielder, who has made a habit of breaking records early in his international career, put in a fantastic performance in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago, and was rewarded for his work with a nifty assist.
The teenager's intelligent movement was on full display before he slid a perfect ball across the face of goal, where the in-form Jozy Altidore was waiting to tap home his second tally in three minutes at EverBank Field.

Altidore's first goal of the evening, a fine finish after some tidy footwork, made him the United States' all-time leading scorer in World Cup qualifying matches.
