Christian Pulisic continues to awe German and American audiences alike.
In the 79th minute of Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 win over Hamburg, the U.S. Men’s National Team star collected a Mahmoud Dahoud feed in the penalty area, took a few touches, and smashed it into the back of the net for his second Bundesliga goal and his third in all competitions this season.
Pulisic put in a man of the match level performance overall. He took three shots and completed 19 of 20 passes, and helped set up Dortmund’s second goal when he dribbled through the middle of the field before springing Andriy Yarmolenko on the right wing. Yarmolenko then assisted on a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tap-in.
Pulisic clearly won the battle of American attackers as his compatriot Bobby Wood failed to get anything going for Hamburg on a frustrating day for the American striker.
Is Pulisic better than Lalas? lol…
Mix scored a goal in Sweden. This is one of the busiest days for Americans in Europe that can I remember in a long time. Sabbi and Kitchen in Denmark. Gooch and Lichaj in the League Cup. Green another full go, Payne and O’Neil subbed on for Excelsior. Neither of the Darmstadt boys, Horvath has an illness, and Josh Perez dressed but did not play for Livorno. The bad thing is just about everyone lost and with so many in cup play those are minutes that will no longer be there.
Green and Gooch also started and went the full 90.
Andy novakovich scored another goal today as well
Miazga started as Vitesse lost to a 5th division side on penalties.
*best position*
Agree his ear position is out wide but needs someone in the middle to help create so he have a little space before 3 and 4 people swarm to him.
Awesome first couple touches and then classy finish. Now if only there were guys on the NATs that could consistently give him this type of service in dangerous places.
Don’t you know you’re not supposed to mention an attacking player not getting service around here….. People think service (or lack thereof) doesn’t matter…
Ask Bobby Wood if service is important.
