Is Florian Kohfeldt Clinically Insane?

Question: How many of you wake up in the morning wondering the following: Is Florian Kohfeldt clinically insane? I say this because he's seemed to take a very disturbing stance. That stance is, "I have one of the best strikers in the world, the best American striker to have ever lived, and thus access to THE biggest emerging market in football, and yet...I'm not going to play him. And not only am I not going to play him...I'm going to the taunt the world with the prospect that I will play him, only to continually back out at the last second."

And so, I ask again: Is Florian Kohfeldt clinically insane?

I wanted to move to Bremen. Before I came to Vienna, Austria, on an unseasonably warm day back in October, I actually wanted to go to Bremen. And the reason I want to go to Bremen was simple: Josh Sargent. But then I started looking for language schools. And I couldn't find any (or at least any that sounded good). So I gave up on the idea of going to Bremen, and started thinking about elswhere. For whatever reason the city of Vienna caught my eye, and now here I am, a month later, sitting in an apartment in the 16th (I think it's the 16th district), sipping detox tea, listening to the Game of Thrones soundtrack, and writing a blog post dedicated to Josh Sargent on a blog dedicated to Christian Pulisic.

I won't bore you with too many details of what my life has been like since I've arrived in Vienna. I will say that at the beginning it was tumultous. But I wanted it to be tumultuous. Realize this: Everything in life (almost everything in life) happens because you want it to happen. Or maybe let me rephrase that. Yes, should probably rephrase that. This next one is true: Everything you feel in life you feel because you want to feel it.

And this brings me back to Josh Sargent. Or actually it doesn't, but I really wish it did, because then this blog post would have a nice narrative arc. The only thing I can say about Josh Sargent, and Florian Kohfeldt, and the future of Werder Bremen and possibly the world, is this: Josh Sargent needs to debut against Mainz on Sunday. It needs to happen. If it doesn't happen, Werder is going to sink to the bottom of the table faster than the weed stocks I bought a few weeks ago.

Speaking of narrative arcs, I went bowling the other day. I bowled something like a 130 the first time and thought about putting my head into the ball dispenser machine to see if it might get stuck and put me out of my misery. But then I changed to a nine pound ball. That's right, folks, nine pounds. My fingers could barely fit in the holes (that's that she/he/it said). But guess what?

Sorry, I don't know why I started talking about bowling. I don't really care about bowling. I had a coke that night. That was nice.

Anyway, the point of this blog post is good. Listen to the Game of Thrones sountrack, drink detox tea, follow your goddamn heard, and FLORIAN KOHFELDT, TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTTHOLE.

That is all.

Will Pulisic start today against Hamburg?

Many of us remember the devastation at not seeing Pulisic on the field at the start of the Köln game. Will the same thing happen today? Sports Illustrated doesn't seem to think so . Neither does Fear the Wall . In fact, Sports Illustrated doesn't even mention CP's name. Why is this? What is happening? Is it because of Philipp's performance? Is it because CP hasn't had a goal or an assist in awhile and his final touches have been a bit off? Or is it because Peter Bosz hates me? Either way, we'll know in about 30 minutes. I have a good feeling about CP in this game, whereas in previous games I didn't have the greatest feeling. I feel like coming off the bench could even be good for him, since he'd be extra fired up and would have fresh legs. Also, not that CP needs any help with this, but the importance of maintaining your feet on the ground and not letting things like his recent Golden Boy nomination go to your head cannot be overstated, and there...

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...

Advice Column -- Ask a real Pulisic fan

Dear RPF, The other day my girlfriend and I got in a fight because she wanted to go out to dinner and I wanted to stay inside and watch the Univision broadcast of the Panama game in Spanish even though we had just finished watching it in English. After some heated comments back and forth she got frustrated, yelled "You're pathetic," and we haven't talked since. Should I try to win her back? --Pulisic Fan in Training Dear PFinT, This may be hard for you to hear, but the simple answer is no, don't try to win her back. In fact, stay as far away from her as possible, and until you can find a woman who understands your passion for this 19-year-old wunderkind, divide your time between watching highlight videos and taking shots from the top of the 18 with your weak foot. You'll forget about her in no time. Dear RPF, The other day at work my boss caught me scrolling through a Pulisic-rich Twitter and also watching various Pulisic highlight videos on YouTu...
