Christian Pulisic a Minor Deity?

Hello Pulisic fans, and welcome to your one stop shop for all things not only Pulisic but also related to other American stars in the great German league commonly referred to as Die Bundesliga. You’ll notice that the word Bundesliga in German is feminine. I bring this up only because German genders are hot on my mind right now, since I’m going to Austria in a week to further hone my German skills and one of the first things I’ll have to do there is take a placement test. Will watching countless Dortmund press conferences in German have paid off? Hopefully. Only time will tell.

Also, heute in Der Bundesliga....

Before we talk about CP, I want to talk about JS. Can someone please explain to me why Josh Sargent isn’t a regular starter for Werder Bremen yet? Oh, because of the great Max Kruse, who just had to be almost literally spoon fed to score his first Bundesliga goal since March? Does Florian Kohfeldt not realize that when Josh Sargent vaults himself out of bed every morning, scoring goals is almost an inevitability? Josh Sargent is a man child. He’s one of the most natural strikers in the Bundesliga, and yet they still have him on the second team, where games mean about as much as the amount of pesos I just paid for my recent dental cleaning where I currently am in Mexico. Guarantee: eventually Kohfeldt will play Sargent, and then he will have nightmares about how many more games Werder Bremen could have won had he played the 18 year old man monster sooner. Or maybe just likes losing. With Bundesliga coaches that’s always a distinct possibility. Bunch of weirdos.

And now back to Christian Mate Pulisic, the only conceivable reason most of us have for getting up in the morning. Yesterday I got back from a place with no internet and immediately tuned in to see that Christian had done what he does best, outworking people to score goals. From the looks of it Hoffenheim dominated Dortmund on Saturday, much like a sixth grader holding a second grader in a headlock and gently persuading him to give up his lunch money. After Diallo got a red card for having arms, Dortmund’s chances looked bad. But then out of nowhere came a kid from Hershey. A kid who’s no longer a kid. A man who’s no longer a man but possibly  a saint.

Excuse the dramatics. That’s kind of what we do here.

So Pulisic tied up the game on a gorgeous cross from the lilting-voiced Marco Reus. Dortmund fans spare having to contemplate suicide. And I get stoked after coming back from a few days of good waves and getting minor heat stroke.

On Wednesday Dortmund play Nuremberg. Are Nuremberg good? I have no idea. Will CP finally score a damn brace or have one of his fantastic dribbles lead to a goal? Please God yes.

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 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
