Back off dude, we found Berhalter and he is ours! Didn’t you just see the magic he created against Cuba, World Cup Trophy for sure, In Uncle Rico’s voice “No Doubt, no doubt in my mind”!
"...if Pulisic gets on the scoresheet again vs City then he will become the first American to score in four consecutive Premier League games...."
I wonder if Dempsey is rooting for him or against him. Clint always seemed like an ill-tempered guy, which was a plus when he was on the field.
fantasy.premierleague.com has a yellow exclamation point next to CP's name, which means "we're not sure if he will play or not."
No idea, but there's a report of a scruffy, coyote-looking guy with a hang-dog look skulking around Stoke D'Abernon carrying a tire iron that has me somewhat concerned.
How is it that people are able to sit through these videos of random fans free associating about some issue? I have never understood the attraction.
From Hershey to the Fulham Road: Christian Pulisic's rise to Chelsea https://www.si.com/soccer/chelsea/n...lham-road-christian-pulisics-rise-to-chelsea/
He's not very far off. When I look at an elite champion, I look at 3 core success factors. 1 - Raw talents: You can only go so far with hard work alone, but without the natural raw talents that God gave you, you could never reach that elite level of top 1%. 2 - Intelligence and Work Ethics: How many talented young athletes that you have seen gone to waste because they keep making dumb decisions and chose to party instead of train? Countless, across all sports. Ronaldo, Messi, Brady, Peyton, etc. doesn't become who they are today without amazing work ethics and intelligence. They watch countless game hours, always the first in and last out at trainings, doing everything they possibly can to keep their body in top shape, etc. 3 - Environment: You can possess great talents, and work really hard but you still can't win shit if you're surrounded by mediocre talents and dumb coaches. It's highly debatale if Brady is able to win a single super bowl if he wasn't at New England under Bellichick. The environment can make or break you. Now come to Pulisic, it is clear that he posses the raw talents of an elite footballer. And from all accounts from his prior and current coaches and teammates, he has great work ethic and is a very smart kid. The last piece is environment. I do think he's finally at the right environment where he can push his potentials to the limits. And so far Lampy has been doing a great job to get this young team to play well and win lots of games. Chelsea does have a very talented young core of players. This is their FIRST YEAR together (Abraham, Mount, CHO, Pulisic, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson, James, etc.). If Chelsea is able to keep this core together for the next few years and allow them to grow and develop a strong chemistry and understanding together, this Chelsea team is very very dangerous over the next few years and beyond. The Top 4 or Top 6 teams should be concerned with this Lampy Chelsea squad in the future.
Free-association is the mark of the Millennials, and they do it from tech to movies (they grew up with the web and hyperlinks, so it figures). I like it though. The Digital Natives (Gen Z) are weirder though. More than free-associating, they multi-stream, in their little stupid phones. I'm still trying to get them.
This right here is the making of a champion. Continuously overcome obstacles and stand tall and ready for the next challenge. "....Pulisic's story proves the opposite of quite an introverted individual who has been confronted with life-changing decisions from the age of 16 that have transformed his surroundings. Many might have fallen and given up from the culture change of Germany, the language barrier and home sickness. Others might have suffered from the burden of a nation's expectation on young shoulders and played within themselves when questions where raised early on at Chelsea – but Pulisic has faced every one of those questions early on and answered emphatically he is ready to shine in Chelsea blue.
