PBP: MLS N&A Running USMNT and other International Games Thread {R}

In front of 78,346 bored punters.

Freaking cash grab!

 

Respectfully, ******** the Dutch, @Sounders78.

Despite a horrible starting lineup and opening half, the US wins at The Hague thanks to a Netherlands brace and actually taking some worthless players out in the second half.

 

Surprisingly, the Netherlands is actually one of the (few) countries I do not have ties to!

 

Is it now safe to say that the USA has its first international star (Pulisic)? Or is success in Milan still not enough for such a proclamation?

 

I’d say uncharted territory for an American so I don’t want to diminish Pulisic. But I think he needs a bit more from a neutral standpoint to be a true international star. League or CL trophy for Milan while keeping up the production. Maybe a return to the EPL and putting up impressive numbers.

Or of course join the Fire, win trophies, and cause USMNT only fan meltdowns!

 

I think at this point he's good enough to dominate MLS even more than Donovan did, but perhaps he has even more? Maybe he can be a true leader on a top 10 worldwide side? Lets see.

 

Like the Chicago Fire?

Sure, we have some improvements, but a top 10 worldwide side?
I say, you flatter us, sir!

 

Yup, definitely what I meant there.
