The U.S. men's national team may have its first true superstar, says coach Bruce Arena. Christian Pulisic, the USMNT's 19-year-old rising star who plays for German club Borussia Dortmund, will appear on 60 Minutes on Sunday night (7:30-8:30 p.m. ET) with Sharyn Alfonsi (WATCH with CBS All-Access), and he got some serious praise from the U.S. men's national team manager.

Airing on CBS, Pulisic, his parents and Arena speak about the game, his progression and more. A regular starter for Dortmund, he's taken the Bundesliga by storm and has caught the eyes of many clubs for his mature play, intelligence on the ball and knack for making an impact. He's also been key for the national team's World Cup qualifying campaign as it inches closer to a spot at next summer's tournament.
"It makes you think he is going to be perhaps the first American superstar in the sport," says Arena. "I'm willing to say that.
"You have to be hesitant about this but this is a very talented young man."
