Jah Bless Pulisic, Sargent.

Hey friends,

Guess what time it is? Time to get ultra fucking stoked, because today a special video came out: Christian Pulisic on Feiertagmagazin, speaking in German , generally being cooler than all of us. Case in point his outfit. Black shoes. A crisp white shirt. And a fucking black VEST. He looked like a blackjack dealer. A blackjack dealer who’s just turned 20, just scored a champions league goal, and is finally back after an agonizing two weeks of being out for an injury. Honestly christian appearing on BVB.tv is one of my favorite times of year.  What an inspiration, especially for someone (me) about to go to Austria to continue studying german. Now, you might be wondering: why Austria. Why not Germany? And that’s because it just felt right. I want to see what Austria’s all about. Hear the accent a bit. See Beethoven’s old stomping grounds. And of course try to make it to a BVB game.

Anyway, tomorrow.  Hoffenheim. Christian will probably start. Dahoud will probably start. Götze will probably not start, which is sad because he’s coming back from into form. BVB have so many good players, they just need to get. A regular starting lineup would be nice.

But let’s talk now about Josh Sargent. The question: will he be on the lineup tomorrow against Augsburg? Honestly, I’d be surprised if he wasn’t. Bremen has some injury problems right now, and Sargent has been proving himself over and over for the second time. He’s the best striker on the team. There, I said it. Yes, he’s better than Max Kruse. If you don’t believe me just watch how the rest of this season plays out.

For now I’m out to go surfing. I’m in mexico and fly back to the US on the 25th and then to Austria on the 3rd. Flying Swiss airways. Stoked.

Jah bless. Hope you all are well.

Yours in Pulisic fandom,

Marco

Thoughts before USMNT vs. Panama

I think I might just not care about the USMNT anymore.  I think I really might just not care. Shame on US soccer for playing crappy players when better players are available. Shame on US soccer for playing the veterans -- for as long as I can remember -- and thus never realizing the potential of our youth talent. There's an article out right now called " Christian Pulisic doesn't play for the best American soccer team ," and you know what? I think they could very well be right. At the very least I would say the US would be BETTER tomorrow against Panama if they were forced to play a U-25 or a U-23 team. Ethan Horvath in goal. Pulisic and Kellyn Acosta running the show. Weston Mckennie bruising people in the back. And also it would be about 800 times more fun to watch. Alexi Lalas was right on the money when he called the USMNT soft underachievers. The thing is, with the exception of Bradley and a few others, they could be hard. The could be dangerous. They coul...

Dortmund Thrill vs. Leverkusen, Pulisic Not So Much

Embed from Getty Images Dortmund played Bayer Leverkusen today in Leverkusen in the most exciting match of matchday six. I didn't know how to feel about it, however, much like I don't know how I feel about this blog moving to wordpress.com. I really don't like Wordpress themes. They all look the same. They're all ugly. And so I think I might be going back to Blogger. Hopefully you will follow me there. The reason I didn't know how to feel about today's game was because even though the game was thrilling, and Dortmund came from behind, and from a Dortmund fan perspective the game was a 10 out of 10, from a Pulisic fan perspective it was a bit of a letdown because not only did he not play that well, he was also was subbed off in the 60th minute. And so I felt kind of how a dad might feel if he was watching his son's violin concert, making eyes with the cute mom of the girl who plays the cello from across the aisle. On the one hand it's titillating...

Chelsea vs. Man United Preview and The Importance of Ross Barkley

Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Jon Snow is facing down all of Ramsey Bolton's army, standing there with his sword, facing certain annihilation? I feel like that's a bit like what Chelsea is facing against Manchester United in their first game of the Premiership this season, this Sunday at 8:30am United States west coast time. Why would I give you west coast time? Well, first of all because I love the west coast. Second of all because I live on the west coast. And third of all because I'm a mariner. Friends, I live on a sailboat. The sea is my companion. When I wake up I don't think about Greenwich mean time. I think about the west coast. I think about bull kelp. And I also think about Cha Boi. Speaking of Cha Boi, most media outlets seem to think that he will start on Sunday. Christian Pulisic, who just last year was struggling for minutes in the Bundesliga, will probably start on Sunday against, what, the biggest football team in existence? Is that hyp...
