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.

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...
