Cutting in from the left wing. We need to find a way to utilize both he and Pulisic in the attack.

 

WHAT A RESULT!!! One down, two to go. See you on Thursday, @s04_en 😉 #fohlenelf #BMGS04 4-2 pic.twitter.com/sjisPzoJ9N

let 'em both play wing and swap sides when they want.

 

That initial celebration looked like that gif Midas posted with Rocky and Apollo beach buds style.

 

Here is the second goal:

Oh my gosh. What a buildup. Thanks for posting. Watch that video, and rep that poster ----> @Chance

 

1st goal: backward somersault.
2nd goal: forward somersault

 

Mahmoud Dahoud is one of the best young midfielders in the world, that final ball to FJ was perfect (the flick was unreal too).

 

I did both. But not because you told me to. I did it because it was the right thing to do.

 

could have been three!
he should become a father much more often
fasten the procedure, mother nature!

 

You were raised right.

Strength and honor.

 

Let's not get crazy.

 

I repped Chance the poster THEN I watched the video, cause I do it my way.

Two really nice goals, btw. When they look good, they look pretty good.

 

i need to see Fabian on the left and Pulisic on the right for the NT.

 

Yep. Playing as an old-fashioned Inside-Left. Looked very, very good in all parts of the offensive third and when he moved centrally he was lethal - except for the sitter he missed on 40'

Wood, Johnson and Pulisic as the front three would be an handful for any side. Put Jozy as the No. 9 and have Bobby playing off him would be good, but Bobby's passing & defensive play might be a weakness in a 4-4-2.

Esp. when they cut in from the "wrong" wing and take a shot or curl in a cross.

maybe his best match for Gladbach according to RP
12,11 km mileage, four shots on goal, won 80% of his duels, 82% pass rate
the new Johnson's name is Sean
"The coach recommended to play more offensive. I tried and it worked quite well. But I'll continue to work on it."
"This position needs a lot of running, every player needs his rest with so many matches. Naturally it benefits the team to have that much quality on the wings."

Come to think of it who are all the Yanks who have scored in the Bundesliga? Wood, Wynalda, Bradley, Cherundolo, Brooks, Johnson, Mathis and Pulisic come to mind. I wonder if that's more or less than the number of Yank goal scorers in the PL.

 

.@FabianJohnson23 welcomed a new member in to his family AND scored two goals - he calls it his "perfect week"! 😀 #BMGS04 #USMNT pic.twitter.com/xLjpUIZx2Z

Scored two goals and had a baby this weekend. Not bad!

 

is it usual that they have English language interviews after? or was this done just because they knew Fabian was fluent in English?

 

They always do this with American internationals and other players they want to feature on the English-language web properties.

 

Good marketing. Bund is actively looking to branch out and garner a bigger international audience.

 

so in the past our boys were a novelty and now we're part of the marketing. WE have Arrived.
