Time to Cry: Pulisic Set to Not Play Against Hannover 96


Hello, Pulisic fans, and welcome back to the Christian Pulisic Blog, Straight Outta Hershey. This is the most award-winning Christian Pulisic blog on the planet, keeping in mind that it's never won any awards and also that it's the only Christian Pulisic blog on the planet. Thank you all for your wonderful support. Let's get down to business.

Christian Pulisic is not playing against Hannover today. I repeat: CP is not playing. If you haven't already wept because of this news, I'll give you a few moment to do so. The reason he's not playing are apparent "muscular problems." I have no idea what this means. Did he pull a muscle? Did he tear a muscle? Does he have shin splints? I can't really imagine any scenario in which Christian himself would say, "Look, guys, my hammy kinda hurts, so I don't think I should play." I can only imagine him not playing is the work of machinations springing from the coaching staff, and possibly bent on ensuring my sadness.

Either way, I'm going to watch the game today. Does this mean I'm a true Dortmund fan? Sort of. I like Jadon Sancho. I like Marco Reus. Hell, I even like Mario Gotze now that he doesn't seem quite as slow and bad as he seemed last year. It also behooves the CP fan to root for Dortmund regardless of whether or not CP plays, since it will be much more exciting and fulfilling to watch CP play for a Dortmund that's actually good, instead of one that struggled as hard as it did last year.

That said, will I go to any games this year? The answer? Probably. I've already got my sights set on the Dortmund Monaco game in Monaco in December. Mostly because Monaco is sick. I went there a last year and enjoyed walking the winding streets, seeing the fancy cars, looking down at the blue waters of the Mediterranean.

But enough about me. How did CP play against Leipzig in the first game of the season? Answer: Not that well. In fact, the "penalty" he drew that set up Marco Reus's freekick goal looked like an outright dive. I don't want Christian Pulisic to be a diver. There is almost nothing in this world I less want.  But to really confirm that I'd have to watch the footage again from multiple angles and in slow motion. In real time it looked like a legit foul. But in the replays....

So there you have it, Pulisic fans. The Straight Outta Hershey blog is back. A new Bundesliga season is upon us. And you can find me here, every step of the way, supporting cha boi.

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

A Letter to Allah or Jesus Concerning Christian Pulisic

It's been a long time since I posted anything. The reason for this is because I moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, and things have been kind of weird. I'm barely surviving. I'm teaching English classes for a painfully low amount. And I don't really know how it's going to change in the next few days, though I know something needs to change. BUT JESUS FUCKING SHIT, ENOUGH ABOUT ME, LET'S TALK ABOUT CHRISTIAN FUCKING PULISIC. So, I never talked about this "dunk": Don't forget, Christian Pulisic is 5'8" 😳 (via @cpulisic_10 ) pic.twitter.com/FfQw1kWOGP — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) January 2, 2018 And the reason I didn't talk about it is because I don't really care. But one thing I will say is that I don't really believe it. Which is a little bit crazy, since Pulisic confirmed in a video the other day that the rim was indeed 10 feet. That's the part I don't really believe. Because it doesn't look like he j

Pulisic's Form in 2018, Performance Against Hannover 96

Christian Pulisic played OK against Hannover. Not great. And actually maybe a little bit above OK. Because did you see that nutmeg pass he did? I did too. And I shivered slightly when he did it, such was emotion that overcame me. (I'm trying to find a video of it on Twitter and apparently it doesn't exist. I could possibly do it myself but that would require watching the entire game over again, which I don't want to do). Dortmund don't play again until March 31st against Bayern Munich, and it will be interesting to see if Pulisic starts. Last time Dortmund played Bayern Munich Pulisic was the best player on the field and did something to Arjan Robben from which I imagine Robben's still recovering emotionally. Marc Bartra's golazo against Bayern Munich has been named Bundesliga's goal of the month for November. What a strike it was!!! 👏👏👏 #BVB pic.twitter.com/2ZKgyPEKEX — BVB Buzz (@BVBBuzz) December 8, 2017 It's not that I have anything ag
