Quiet night in Seattle before Dortmund - Gladbach

Pretty quiet night in Seattle. Just watched Vice's tremendous documentary on Pulisic for probably the fourth time. As usual got a little teary-eyed right around 13:48.

Tomorrow Borussia Dortmund play Borussia Mönchengladbach. Two websites I've looked at already say Pulisic will probably start. It must be nice to not have to travel across the country, to be able to just go to Düsseldorf, a short bus ride away. Do a lot of the players drive themselves? Does Pulisic have his driver's license yet? I can't imagine he does. Why would he? The happiest place for Pulisic is on the team bus.

My predictions for tomorrow: I think Gladbach will score a goal and end die Schwarzgelben's record for clean sheets. I think the game might end in a 2-2 draw, or a Dortmund victory. I don't think Gladbach will win. I do think Pulisic will be vital, cutting people up, making dangerous passes and dangerous runs.

In personal news I found out yesterday I could live in Logroño, Spain, if I want, for all of November for 300 euros. This is somewhat enticing. It would be a two bedroom apartment. I could Air Bnb one of the rooms. And I would be in Europe. Maybe I could somehow go to the Dortmund vs. Tottenham game in Dortmund. Either way, it's one step closer to Germany. Of course, I could always just go directly to Germany, too. But Germany's cold.

I'm also going to get fuboTV tomorrow since the game is on FS2. This is something I've been holding off on, because I don't like free trials because I always forget to cancel them. But I don't want to watch the game with crappy resolution on a pirated feed.

Night for now! Don't let the Suarez's bite!

Christian Pulisic injury and the real reason he's so good

Apparently Christian Pulisic is injured. Which I find interesting, because how can you injure someone whose flesh and blood are not of this world? To injure Christian Pulisic you'd have to touch him, and I've seen what happens when defenders try to touch Christian Pulisic. Generally the ball goes through their legs or they fall down or, in the rare cases when they do lay a by comparison leprous arm on him, they concede some kind of free kick in a dangerous era. So I don't know about this supposed shin injury. And if he is injured, I doubt it happened on the pitch. I bet Isak was playing a prank on him or something like that. Maybe Aubameyang. But I'd bet dollars to proverbial donuts he's not actually injured. His presence was of course missed on the field against Wolfsburg yesterday, though his replacement, Jadon Sancho, killed it. I didn't know Jadon Sancho was that good. I'd seen him his first time on the field, but that was only a few minutes. I sinc

Pulisic Makes Bryan Ruiz Look like a Nerd

Friends, friends, friends. I made it to Germany. I'm drinking instant coffee in my Air Bnb which is just a hop skip and a triple jump away from the illustrious city of Mainz, where Dortmund will be playing next Tuesday. I'm excited. Barring injury (tap on wood; chainsaw), Pulisic SHOULD PLAY IN THIS GAME. He might not start. But he should at least play. Though lately he's been STARTING EVERY DAMN GAME because he's a FUCKING ANIMAL. AHSDJFJADSKFJDASKFJDSFKDSJFKDSJFDKJD. (I don't handle caffeine well). Quick side note: This Air Bnb is amazing. This town is amazing. My German is about an A2/B1 but I've spoken only German since I've gotten here, since the hostess is from Kosovo and doesn't speak English and the other tenant is a Turkish girl whose English is probably about as good as my German but I've been pushing the German pretty hard because I gotta speak it. Other side note: One of my blog posts has over 100 views. Two of them actually. Who

Hey Peter Bosz, play Pulisic in the middle (thoughts on Borussia Dortmund vs. Apoel Nicosia)

This morning I got up to rain and wind here in Seattle. I should've known it was a presage of things to come. I went to the grocery store and had tea and wrote some letters. Basically, I was trying to kill time until 11:45am Pacific time, when Champions League started. And then it started. I'd downloaded Sling TV to be able to watch ESPN 3 and Borussia Dortmund vs. Apoel Nicosia, one of the top Cypriot clubs. The good thing about watching this game was I got to learn the word "Cypriot." The bad thing is it was an absolute abortion. A few times during the first half I actually said, in a loud voice in my living room, "This is an abortion." Other things I said: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" -- when Götze, Bartra, Yarmolenko, Toprak, Auba, Pulisic and Kagawa gave away the ball time after time after time. "YOU ARE FUCKING OLD AND SLOW." -- when Yarmolenko could've easily gotten to a ball but was too, well, old and slow "
