Americans Abroad Weekend Rewind: Pulisic, Wooten, and more

1 Shares

Christian Pulisic returned to the Borussia Dortmund squad with a bang on Saturday, helping the Bundesliga side keep pressure on leaders Bayern Munich.

Pulisic came off the bench and made an immediate impact, assisting on Paco Alcacer’s eventual winning goal before scoring his fourth goal in all competitions. The 20-year-old played laid off a pass for the Spaniard who roofed his effort putting Dortmund in front 2-1 against Stuttgart. Pulisic would ice the home win at Signal Iduna Park in stoppage time, sneaking an effort into the bottom-right corner. It was Pulisic’s first two point match since November and Dortmund have bounced back from a pair of losses in all competitions.

Elsewhere, Andrew Wooten scored the winning goal for Sandhausen while Chris Richards and Sebastian Soto continued their strong campaigns in lower divisions. Weston McKennie recorded his sixth assist of the season in all competitions, but Schalke fell to Werder Bremen. Ethan Horvath stood firm again for Club Brugge, Matt Miazga went head-to-head against Antonee Robinson in EFL Championship play, and Duane Holmes started once again for Frank Lampard’s Derby County.

  1. I’ll take a stab at Berhalter’s Lineup set to be announced this week.

    GK: Steffan, Guzan, Hamid
    Def: Yedlin, Lima, Miazga, Brooks, Zimmerman, Long, Johnson, Villafana
    Mid: Pulisic, McKennie, Adams, Bradley, Nagbe, Roldan, Arriola, Lletget, Lewis
    For: Morris, Zardes, Sargent, Wood,

    NAC Breda tweeted that EPB had been called into a U23 camp so I expect some of the U23 will be there instead like Lewis and Mihailovic. I included Hamid with Guzan because I just think it would be fun. Not sure on FJ returning to LB but it has been talked about a lot online which is probably just fans hope and not anything real. Perhaps Nova over one of the forwards, he’s been hotter over the last few weeks than the other Euro-based strikers although he had no service today against Ajax.

  2. The good news from this past weekend abroad is that our defensive options ahead of the March friendlies looks good….
    Yedlin, Brooks, Miazga, Robinson, CCV, EPB all went 90 for their clubs.
    The midfield options were a mixed bag, but still a step in the right direction.
    Holmes & McKennie went 90, Adams started and went deep if not the full 90. Pulisic still isn’t starting, but scored & added an assist in limited minutes. Weah & Amon made appearances off the bench.
    Unfortunately our striker options had a weekend to forget and remains the biggest question mark for the USMNT. Only Nova made an appearance. Wood, Sargent, Wright were left off their teams rosters.
