Hey Pulisic fans,
Did Pulisic play soccer yesterday? I don't quite remember. I got up in the morning, went for a long jog, got the kids off to school, and then I just spent the whole rest of the day playing hearts and solitaire on the computer. At around 11:30am ODT time my leg started twitching, and I started breathing heavily, and I think I might've even started speaking in German, or maybe even Danish, but I wrote it off as some of the effects of the two months of sobriety I'm experiencing.
Actually, at approximately that time (more like 11:39am PDT), this was happening:
But back to the Jacob Bruun Larsen goal, assisted by cha boi. Let's talk about this goal. In fact, scroll up and watch it again. Make sure you have the sound on. Maybe watch four, five times. One thing that kind of annoys me about Fox (and keep in mind I write a blog on the guy) is how hard they jock Pulisic. I'm a Pulisic fan, but first and foremost I'm a soccer fan. So the following must be said: Pulisic's run was gorgeous, and his pass was too, but Jacob Bruun Larsen's finish was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Granted, it was a reaction finish. And often times when we merely react we do things that are much more difficult than if we have time to think about it and calculate. The heat of the moment actually HELPED him here. Not having time helped him. It was a gorgeous finish. Denmark is a beautiful country. Bruun Larsen looks like an ogre. He and Pulisic are friends and give each other the new FIFA every year (he talks about this in the video below). And I love everything.
That's about all I have to say about this game. That run was Pulisic's best moment. He looked good in the game. He will start on Saturday against Bayer. I will be watching once again on YouTube TV. And hopefully Bruun Larsen starts, too. And hopefully Josh Sargent gets his debut against Stuttgart. And hopefully I test into B1 in Austria. And hopefully I find my future wife there. And hopefully I get barreled this year. And hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.

And of course I was watching it. In fact, I even got a trial subscription to YouTube TV just so I could get Fox Sports 2 and watch the showdown yesterday between Borussia Dortmund and FC Nurnberg. This is the first game of the season I've sat down and watched end to end, since for a lot of the season I've been out of the country in places with questionable internet. And what a rewarding watch it was, at least until it became a ridiculous blowout. Heck, even at that point it was still rewarding. Seeing Julian Weigl score? Excellent. Jadon Sancho showing us another one of his godly first touches? Wonderful. Marco Reus showing us his dance moves for 60 minutes? Yes, please.Jacob Bruun Larsen scores his first goal for Dortmund, but what about that set-up from Christian Pulisic? 👀— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) September 26, 2018
What an assist from the American! pic.twitter.com/Tb1BbCEMyL
