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.

Josh Sargent Slated for First Team Start (and Pulisic injury speculation)

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: Josh Sargent's goal for Werder's first team today. Courtesy of u/DerUser-X on Reddit. pic.twitter.com/GPYddT1yyR — USMNT Videos (@USMNTvideos) September 8, 2018 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 ...

Indigestion, Weston McKennie Is a God, and Torn Calf Fibers

Hello friends and lovers, And welcome to another rambling post from yours truly, Mark Thomas, dictator for life here at Straight Outta Hershey, the only damn blog in the damn universe dedicated to the one and only Christian Pulisic. So I'm sitting in my Airbnb in Vienna, Austria right now, drinking a Turkish tea that the girl whose apartment this is made. Of course it's making me feel nauseous since I'm drinking it on an empty stomach. And now I've just switched the keyboard over to US English, which means the y and z keys are back where they're supposed to be, and this is contributing to my upset stomach. To top it all off I have dandruff. And my stomach is messed up from a weird doner I ate the other day. Or possibly some Tom Kha Gai soup. I'm not sure which one. But I'm in Vienna, and today I start level B1.2 of my intensive German course. Hell yeah. Intensive German. I hope there are some cuties in my class. I've sent about 20 messages on okcu...

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.
