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 Misses Salzburg Match with Non-Terminal Illness

Dortmund rolled into Salzburg today to compete for a spot in the Europa League Round of 8 conspicuously absent one key player. Looks like Pulisic has flu and Toprak is out with a muscle problem #BVB #FCSBVB https://t.co/9bJfnfO7si — BVB Buzz (@BVBBuzz) March 15, 2018 Christian Pulisic apparently has the flu, which I don't believe, since I don't believe Christian Pulisic gets sick. I mean, Michael Jordan played through the flu before, and I'm not comparing CP to Michael Jordan, but the kid can dunk.  Pulisic: People doubt me, but I can dunk! https://t.co/I8oSqWO7M3 !?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter pic.twitter.com/WSMKf5kZcs — Dave Masters (@davemasters) January 11, 2018 (I dunked once in warm-ups before a rec league basketball game in high school. It was the only time I ever dunked in my illustrious basketball career. Most of the other times I stuck to left-handed layups.) Dortmund played the opposite of good today, which, unless my English fai...

The Only Blog Devoted to Christian Pulisic

Guys, I have to admit something, and I don't think you're going to like it: I don't Google Pulisic that much anymore. I used to Google him at least 5-10 times a day. But now every time I Google him the same shit comes up: transfer rumors. And I don't want to hear about Pulisic transfer rumors. I just want to read about what Christian Pulisic does when he actually touches the ball. Because that's the purest thing about being a Pulisic fan, watching him straight beat someone one on one, or one on two, or one on four. Apparently it hasn't been happening a lot lately. I haven't gotten to watch the games in their entirety since I've been working. And I could go back and watch them in their entirety on same ghetto-ass Russian site, but it's tough when you already know what the score is and who scored the goals and at exactly what time. So I've missed Dortmund games lately. Which is messed up. I feel like I'm cheating on the team or something. Ev...

Panama prep, a Michael Bradley "highlight" video

Yesterday my roommate and I were talking about how terrible Michael Bradley is and how he shouldn't even be on the USMNT when my roommate said, "Let's just watch a Michael Bradley video. Let's see the best he's capable of." My first reaction, of course, was, "There is no thing on earth I would less rather do. I would literally rather get my arm run over by a bus than watch a Michael Bradley highlight video. What would a Michael Bradley highlight even be? Four minutes of back passes? Him shaving his head?" But then we were sitting there on the couch and bored and had watched enough South Park and after showing my roommate this video:  The #USMNT arrives for day 1️⃣ of training ahead of #USAvPAN on Friday. pic.twitter.com/7Hb29AIP6t — U.S. Soccer (@ussoccer) October 2, 2017 (who's the last player to walk into the frame, looking lost and confused and maybe even a bit depressed?) I said, "OK, let's do it. Let's wat...
