Christian Pulisic becomes human bowling ball for beer bottles after Nations League win
The United States national team defended their CONCACAF Nations League trophy by defeating Canada 2-0 which was followed up by some crazy scenes in the victor's changing room
The United States national team had a whale of a time in their changing room after lifting the CONCACAF Nations League title for the second time.
The side defended their crown after defeating Canada 2-0 on Sunday (June 17) thanks to goals from Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun and Crystal Palace centre back, Chris Richards.
The forward scored in just his second game for the US after confirming his intention to represent the national side last month.
It was the 21-year-old who then offered a glimpse into the side's post-match celebrations after taking to Instagram Live to document how the players celebrated the major victory.
After filming himself with the trophy, he panned the camera to the Christian Pulisic, otherwise known as 'Captain America', who effectively became a human bowling ball after he was dragged by his teammates to knock down a row of beer bottles.
It's been a dream start to Balogun's international career since switching his allegiance from England as he spoke about his feelings of being part of the US team.
"It's amazing. It's a dream scenario for me," he said.
"To be here now, the transition is amazing. I'm just overwhelmed with delight."

The New York born striker had the best season of his young career after going on loan to Ligue 1 side, Reims where he netted 21 goals in the league, with only Jonathan David, Alexandre Lacazette, and Kylian Mbappe scoring more than him this past season.
Following the game, Balogun spoke about his future with parent club Arsenal and said while he's not sure what may happen, he will not be going on loan again.
"What I can say is that I definitely won't go on loan again."
With Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as Arsenal's two forward options, a guaranteed place in the starting line-up is not likely for Balogun who has proved himself to be one of the best young strikers in Europe.
