Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 2231277, member: 974"] Pulisic and Dempsey are the only two players on the team that don't get over excited in the offensive box. This ability alone separates him from most that have worn the USA jersey. His mental make up, his patience and calm, are what really makes him transformative. Yes, he is quick as a cat, deceptively strong and has great ball kills. But what makes him great is that the bigger the moment the more he seems able to slow time down. Take Bobby Wood, for all his speed and skills, he cannot slow down time in the box. Given the chances that have come his way, he should have capitalized more often. If he could absorb that mental aspect that Pulisic has, he would be a special player as well. That's why I think the kid will get better and better. [/QUOTE]
