FINALLY!!!!!
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!
Under 30 gang 🎉
I'm a Milan fan and I love pulisic he's helped my team and I'm so happy about this
Tom, great news about becoming a star in the star world
I've missed the chemistry betw|n you two.content + chemistry = wow
Sargent?
A potential problem with the Wright LW, Pulisic RW formation is that Dest is at his best when he plays high to support the attack. Whereas Haji benefits from this kind of support, Pulisic occupies the same space. Pulisic has benefited from the more restrained support from Jedi. Wright also has two good feet. Maybe he could play RW
Jake, it's good to have you back. As I've said before, you are a great soccer analyst. You need to be in front of the camera, not behind it in a backroom somewhere. I hope you are enjoying the Beautiful Game again. All the best to you and your family.
Good to have you back Jake. The community needs more positive content.
Omg Tom big brain flex much haha

Glad to have you back bro. I thought you’d been abducted by Aliens.
Good to see back, Jake! Huge congrats on the paper, Tom! I'm a professor myself. So I know how much that means.
Man I love that you're getting more active on your channel again! One of my favorite channels on youtube!! Cheer 🍻
France produces 10 14yo like him a year.
Great o have you guys back. Pulisic's ability with both feet makes him perfect for the 10 at Milan or ether wing of course. Tom's right, Pulisic rarely does get passes but maybe with Chukwueze making runs and passing he will now.
I think Pepi is ill-advised. Going to Augsburg was a bad move. He recovered from that and ended up at PSV, supposedly for the long term. I understand he wants to compete for the starting role at the Copa America, but he's only 21 years old. He has to learn to be patient and take things as they come. His agent's statement acknowledges the form of Luke DeJong several times but in full acknowledgement of that the statement should never have been made. Not only has DeJong been in great form, and not only is DeJong Dutch, the team captain, and a club legend as you've mentioned, but he's also in a scoring title race with Pavlidis. Of course DeJong is going to play as many minutes as possible trying to win that title. It's not what Pepi was hoping for, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Pepi could have gotten injured, Pepi could be locked playing out of position for years. Pepi should take a look at what Sargent has gone through and how he's handled it and put his nose to the grindstone.
Pepi needs a new agent… Leagues cup also showing that MLS is not that good at the moment.
Korbin Albert is being attacked for her religious beliefs. You all and your so high horses. Get down here and touch some grass. 44:30
Milan is a Top 10 club or higher. Playing for Milan improves your technical ability & your quick combination play. The Premier League will never give you what playing for a good Serie A or La Liga team will.
Haji Wright scored his goals through the middle for the U.S., so let's stop talking about Wright as a left wing.
Berhalther is underrated. He could be coaching any amateur club in the world. But he chose to coach our team. We should be thankful.
Do religious beliefs legitimize bigotry? I don’t think so.😊
A wise person might wonder why GGG can’t get the results Pulisic is getting in Europe in CONCACAF?
Part of it is Pulisic's fault too. He, at times, has a bad habit of holding onto the ball too long. He'll have golden opportunities to pass the ball up to a breaking teammate but either doesn't look up to see it, or is too focused on showing off his dribbling. (I think, it is most likely the former.) But it's possible that his team has noticed this too and then decides to punish him by avoiding him.
I don't share Korbin's viewpoint, yet I find it hypocritical that her sharing personal beliefs are not allowed while advocacy for the modern view is not only allowed, but lauded. I also feel the response would not be the same if Korbin were a Muslim, or another religion that shares the same perspective. Long story short, I think there is room to grow in terms of tolerance on many fronts.
I'm not sure about pulisic beating 2,3 by dribbling and scoring. But ohh boy he can finish, he can finish
From his left foot, right foot, outside the box. He always finds himself in the right positions.
