Americans Abroad

Geoff Cameron played a full 90 minutes for Stoke, so looks like he'll be healthy for WC qualifying later this month. Stoke played him in a defensive midfield role position.

Good news for a change.

Wood, Brooks and Chandler all played 90 today. This weekend has shown just about all the top Americans in Germany getting a lot of minutes.

Pulisic looked really good after going through a less productive stretch of games. He came in for Reus and Dortmund never missed a beat. Hits goal was a beauty because he forced the play in midfield and continued to run towards the box. He really reminds me of Landon Donovan although Pulisic is a better dribbler.

There is a Reus to Chelsea summer transfer rumor afoot. This makes sense since Dortmund has said they will offload some attackers this summer.

Wow, Arsenal 1 - Bayern 5 (Aggregate Bayern 10 - 2 !) Tomorrow, Dortmund - Benfica. Interested to see what Pulisic's role might be. His team is down 1 - 0 after the first leg in Lisbon.

Hear the crowd from 00:35, is that: PULI! PULI! PULI! ?

T. Ream was on the wrong end of an own goal for Fulham yesterday.
Is Yedlin hurt? He didn't dress for Newcastle.

 

[LIuconn]

yes, yedlin is hurt and benitez said they aren't sure of the extent. This might put the qualifiers in doubt?

Newcastle United is lucky Yedlin’s out now, and not later on

Pulisic with an assist in the 4th minute for Dortmund v Benfica.

 

[ZooCougar]

Pulisic scored the goal that put them ahead on aggregate. I think he had two assists as well. Freaky good performance.

 

[BlueMAB]

Yes, 2 assists and a goal from Pulisic. Nearly set up a couple other chances. great game from him.

 

[SAMCRO]

Dortmund played Pulisic as a Forward, up top with Aubamayang (sp?), who had a hat trick. Think he won't be begging for that formation with Pulisic again?

That's normally where he plays, in the front line with two other forwards. He also plays both sides equally well. Sometimes he even drifts into the center.

 

[ZooCougar]

Another reason why our promising prospects should be abroad with the big clubs when possible. You can't get this education in MLS unfortunately.

Bobby Wood, celebrating his go-ahead (and ultimately winning) goal today at home in Hamburg against Mönchengladbach.

Pulisic scores in the German Cup quarter final against 3rd division Lotte. It was scoreless until the 57th minute when Pulisic, according to the ticker, "tunneled" a shot in from and sharp angle. I couldn't find a live video - so checking in the ticker. They're playing on a neutral field in Osnabrück because of field conditions in Lotte. OK now Andre Schürrle scored also. Next up Bayern Munich in the semis.

Edited to add that Pulisic was described as the best player on the field, always pushing forward.

 

[ZooCougar]

I heard he nutmegged the keeper.

Learned today that "tunneln" is not just a cognate for "to tunnel", but also on the Fußball pitch means "to nutmeg"!

Arena supoosedly will play Pulisic as a central midfielder, as well as use him on the wing. He's going to speak with him about it when he comes in for the USMNT practices in a week. They'll be interviewing him (Arena) tomorrow, before the City game on FS1 ore-game show where he plans to announce the US roster for the upcoming qualifiers.

If he moves Pulisic off the wing he's a fool.

Klinnsy did the same thing with Pulisic and he got pilloried for it. Double standards by the MLS Garber knob gobbling media perhaps?

Pulisic is a winger right now. If you use him centrally then we will have winger starting in the middle and we'll be down a great winger. This is dumb as hell.

 

[ZooCougar]

Fireable offense.

What have you guys heard about Tim Tillman? Why Bruce Arena must call in this Bayern Munich star right now

What have you guys heard about Tim Tillman? Why Bruce Arena must call in this Bayern Munich star right now

I only know that he is still assigned to Bayern's U19 team. They play in a league made up of the youth academies of professional teams in the south and southwest of Germany. Tillman is considered an offensive midfielder. Just last year Christian Pulisic was often playing at this level.

Hyndman scored for Rangers, and Brooks scored for Hertha Berlin today.

 

[ZooCougar]

Hyndman has been solid for Rangers. A good center mid who scores? USMNT doesn't need any of that.
