Let's talk about life goals today. Let's talk about Josh Sargent. Let's talk about Christian Pulisic. Let's talk about Weston McKennie. Let's talk about all the Young Americans currently making their presences felt in the Bundesliga. And let's also talk about surfing.
I've been following Josh Sargent at Werder Bremen over the past few months, wondering when he'll get his first first team start. He's been lighting shit up on the second team, with five goals in the last seven matches. And then, the other day, this happened:
The thing I'm most impressed about with Josh Sargent is his goal-scoring instinct. For the true greats, it's easier to SCORE goals than it is to NOT score them. It's natural for them. They can't not do it. And they also need to do it. This is the case with Josh Sargent.
I wonder how his German is coming. I imagine quite badly. But he looks to have ingratiated himself with the team quite well. He's young. He'll learn a few phrases.
And now let's move on to the one and only. The Hershey heretic. The kid from PA. The Dortmund Destroyer.
Christian. Mate. Pulisic.
What's up with Pulisic?
Short answer: He's "injured."
Apparently he's been having some muscular problems lately. What I haven't been able to find are any updates on this injury. Is he better? Will he be playing against Eintracht Frankfurt next Friday? I would assume he's better. At no point was this injury made out to be a big deal. In fact, it KIND OF seems like it was all just a big excuse to have him not go to the US during the international break and be exposed to the demonic presence of Neymar. Did anyone watch that game against Brazil? Is Neymar not the anti-Christ? Everything he touches turns to feces.
And lastly, Weston McKennie. Weston McKennie is dope. That's about all there is to say. He starts on the first team at motherfucking Schalke 04. He's going to score soon. He's a bruiser.
And very lastly, I'm going surfing soon. Today I go to Seattle, and tomorrow I take a bus to Portland, and then in the evening I fly to Mexico City and then Tuesday morning to Cabo for surf and fun in the sun. Mexico. So stoked.
Oh, and SUPER LASTLY, I'm thinking about studying German in Vienna this October. November at the latest. Should be nice and warm there. I don't know why I want to learn German so bad. Is it because of my roots? Is it because of soccer? Is it because I'm destined to marry a beautiful Austrian Frau? Only time will tell.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. Josh Sargent's first ever (as far as I can tell) goal for the first team at Werder Bremen. Florian Kohfeldt, the Bremen head coach, has been saying for awhile that Josh is getting groomed for his first first team start in an actual Bundesliga match. The other day in a second team match he had a goal, an assist, and drew a penalty. His numbers are insane. He looks so comfortable. Which means it's only a matter of time before he gets a real first team start in a real Bundesliga match. Will he start a week from today against Nurnberg? I doubt it. But will he be on the bench and make his debut in the 70th or 80th minute? That's a distinct possibility.Josh Sargent's goal for Werder's first team today.— USMNT Videos (@USMNTvideos) September 8, 2018
