I’ve watched every game this season for Dortmund and I haven’t been all that impressed with Gotze. There are games that I wasn’t even aware he was on the field.
Danny Williams with an apparent PK miss.
CP with a beautiful half of volley off the bar from 20 yards out. Wow!
Pulisic off the cross bar in the 77th
Pulisic putting in some good defensive work. Feeling safer about him defending vs Mexico and CR.
He seems more an attack threat on the left, but he’s moving well. In position for a few goals if the service had come.
spector, ream, lichaj, williams starting; yedlin on bench.
Fox Sports doing God’s work with all this Pulisic coverage.
CCV on bench
Pulisic with somewhat of a surprise start considering Mor is unavailable for the weekend. He should be on the same side as Bryan Ruiz so perhaps a little preview of the Hex match up.
Will Pulisic in net for Dortmund U19s 1-1 draw with Sporting earlier today
Mor might be getting a lesson from coach, or he could be on tap for a sub appearance with instructions to gas himself.
