    If the stats says he is 5'8 and he says he is 5'10 then he is probably somewhere in the 5'9 range.

    Pulisic came off at 60' today against Bremen. I wonder if he gets sold this summer.

    It sounds like the idea is to play him versus Bolivia then send him to his team for the US summer tour. I wish he would just stay with nats thru France game, anyway.

    The Bolivia and summer tour games = SUM

    Games against Ireland and France, not so much in it for SUM.

    I bet you Bradley would say "But I can play next to Mckennie with Pulisic in front of us". I hope you are right. we need to move away from mediocrity.

    I agree and also with his penchant for not passing to new players until he feels like they've passed his test. Too many times he'd look at a very open player and then realize he was new and would then change to the other side to a less open veteran player.

    And by the way, have you seen Bradley's game vs. Dallas? He got beat like a drum by a guy that was in the ground, got up and still beat a moving Bradley to the ball. SHM

    Torronto wins because of Gionvinco, Vazquez, Delgado, and Morrow.

    Bradley and Altidore are overrated on that roster.

    Bradley actually did a good job of tracking back and cutting off FCD breakaways. He was rarely beaten as he is quite fast. However, he still isn't a centerback.

    After watching Liverpool this season, and especially after the first 20 minutes of the Champions final, I would love to see CP under Klopp
    Even if his minutes took a hit, playing in a front three with Mane and Mo would elevate his game in my opinion.

    If Salah goes to Madrid, CP to Pool could make sense. Llana did not impress

    Wins? You mean won, right?

    Such a vastly overrated team in 2018.

    I think it would be a good thing if his minutes dropped a bit. I think the minutes he's getting at such a young age are going to hurt him down the road with form and injuries. Be interesting to see how his minutes stack up against other players of his ability, style and build.

    Salah's not going to RM at least not this year. I'd bet a large quantity of money on that. As for Lallana he's basically been out all season and was a long away from any kind of match fitness/sharpness.

    As a US fan I'd love to see Pulisic just hope he can handle it, playing for Liverpool is a completely different level than playing for Dortmund, and coming with the added pressure of being the US savior (at a time when more and more US fans are watching the Prem) It'll be huge.

    They are using him way too much for marketing.

    I hope Pulisic step away from the spot light a bit, and just focus on growing his games and have some fun on the pitch.

    I remember when Adu, Agudelo, Jozy, Green, etc. were all over the news and in TV/radio shows, etc. It didn't do any of those guys much good. The hype might got to them and messed with their heads.

    Pulisic, McKennie, Sargent, Park, Weah, etc.....these guys still got a long way to go and a whole lot more to learn. They are not STARS yet.

    The US media/marketing machines need to cool down.
