Kid's not too bad, but how's he pronounce his Croatian name? Is it puh-LIS-ich as pronounced by Croats (ich as in itch)? Or, some butchered Americanizaed pronounciation, e.g., puh-LIS-ick (as in sick)? Thanks for anyone who actually knows the correct answer.
Butchered Americanized pronunciation then, thanks. If Pulisic continues developing into a real force, he can call himself Tiny Tim, toss tulips over his shoulder, and prance around like some modern day Pee Wee Herman ... not that there's anything wth any of those possibilities.Puh-LIS-ick

You have nothing better to do than woefully misinterpret a non-critical comment, and otherwise post more worthless information. Carry on!You have nothing better to do than criticize the way an 18 year old kid elects to pronounce his own surname?
Pulisic subbed off at half time.
Wood started for Hamburg, subbed off in the 76th minute.
Chandler starting for Eintracht Frankfurt, looks to be going the full 90 minutes.

So Spurs was playing a club from a few levels down, but Carter-Vickers contributed to the shutout certainly and looked more than comfortable.
CCV has an English mother and Gooch has an English and an Irish parent. Both have played for U.S. Youth teams, but I hope JK is making sure each of them get cup tied to the U.S. Before they start getting antsy. They both project to be important players down the road. Hopefully JK has an eye on this and they get used in this summer's Gold Cup for this purpose.
Jurgen mentioned this a few weeks ago. He's PO'd because the Gold Cup was moved to July and European Clubs usually aren't as accommodating since they are basically in preseason.
But I agree, that's the time to cap a bunch of guys.

Pochettino with some high praise of CCV LINK
“For me, he can be one of the best centerbacks in England (referring to the league, not the national team) in the future,” Pochettino said. “He has a strong mentality and all the qualities for playing centerback. Does he remind me of myself as a player? No, he is better than me. I said one of the best centerbacks in England.” Internationally, Carter-Vickers has represented the U.S. at the U-18, U-20 and U-23 level, but has yet to earn a senior call-up. The defender is also eligible to represent England.
Poch has been saying nothing but good things about CCV since camp opened this summer. It is interesting that they elected at his age to keep him around for occasional weekday matches rather than loan him out somewhere.
So our next international window we play two friendlies against crappy opposition. Does JK use them to cement the group that will play against Mexico and at Costa Rica in November, or does he give his starters a break and take a longer look at Green, Zalalem, MIazga, CCV, Gooch, Morris and other young talent to see which of them is ready to help us in the Hex?
