      I grew up near him in NY and have friends that played with him and his late older brother. And I’ve heard stories from them about how even for the top level youth clubs in NY, he was just incredible.

      But even they are amazed at how he is literally earning starts for a top European side AT SEVENTEEN.
      That goal against Bremen made me feel warm and fuzzy, I can only imagine how incredible this is for those who know him and especially his family, who have gone through so much pain and sorrow.

      Along with every US soccer fan, I’m just pulling so fucking hard for this kid to get to the level he surely can.

      I hope This🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 golden Generation is brought up right. By the right coach who knows how to work with young players and bring them up. 2022 looks promising but 2026 is where we could see their full potential. 🇺🇸 should make it to the top 4 why not the WC Final!

      Man you can tell fame won't change him. He has solid parents and a good foundation. With Renya and Pulsic America has their first two legit world class stars.
