I'm really getting tired of ESPN and the way they just are over critical.
….Pulisic needs to be put in the center of the park and play through him, the more touches the better.
As a Scottish expat who now supports the USMNT (and still Scotland of course) I am just so happy to see some genuine excitement about the US team and their prospects for the next world cup. Football is a game of passion and the USMNT can and will succeed if we can generate the passion to win from the fans. Go USMNT!
Why does he add a Hispanic accent to Dusseldorf, a german city?
Stop already. You all are sounding old and grumpy.
Imagine these two, nowhere near half Pulisic’s talent, criticizing our absolute best ever player, at 22 years old 🙄
I disagree. If it hadn't been for a careless turnover in the back and Josh Sargeant not getting on the end of a good cross we would've beat them by 2 or 3 goals.
Pulisic has the potential to be a Salah or a Messi type of winger that scores the ball. It’s just a matter of being used like one.
I wish these people would stop talking to Taylor Twellman. What exactly did he do. If you didn't keep putting him on to give his opinion, no one would know who he is.
Omfg every time I see a video from this channel it’s always involving pulisic. Leave him alone !!!!
I think Pulisic CF with Renya on RW and McKenzie on LW. 4-3-3
I swear Taylor lives off complaining about the USMNT 😂😂😂 …
The winger is usually the most peripheral player in the game, these guys don’t know ball
Pulisic isn’t even USA best player…..
You cannot expect Gio and Pulisic to be fully effective when you don't have a dominant midfield. The constant use of Acosta, Yueill and Lletget created a situation where Pulisic and Gio had to come so deep to receive the ball because they knew their midfield could neither create nor destroy. We will not see the best of Gio or Puli until Berhalter learns how to put the right players in midfield that's a good balance between defense and attack and gets rid of useless connectors like Lletget, Acosta and Yueill.
Big talk coming from washed up players that barely saw international minutes
Congrats on winning a made up tournament 👏 ( friendly )
This win helps cover up Belhalters terrible team formation. The reason why the MNT doesn’t own the possession more is because of that 4-3-3 he continues to play which forces pulisic and Reyna more on the wings and pushed Mckenie down instead of right in the middle. They should be playing a 4-4-2 with Pulisic and Mckenie in the middle (Pulisic will go on the attack and Mckenie will sit behind him as a ball distributor) and Reyna on top but will untimely move horizontally and play more of a CAM.
Más que claro que méxico necesitamos Un delantero como pulisic😔
I love Taylor. Great insight.
Especially liked the video where he talked about USMNT arrogance when they can’t back it up. And agree that, in general, the US is still not better than MX.
that's why he left USA SOCCER!! He plays somewhere else because USA soccer is about a political team!! He gets a better chance around the world than the USA!!
twellman you are the best thing for USA SOCCER!!
a corner is just hit!! Great players have to find a way to put in the goal!! Puplisic gave a great hit but if no one goes for it, it's a no goal!! Puplisic is amazing, but hes not 10 players!! That's why he doesn't play for the MLS!!
great players like messi cant carry a team!! That's why he hasn't won a world cup!! Excepting that from Puplisic will never work!! Wake up USA soccer needs to change!!
players known from other countries, compared to USA players!! The only USA player known plays anywhere, but the USA!! This is why the MLS is the worst league to play for!!
Puplisic is a dangerous player at Chelsea because he has other players at Chelsea that have great skill!! Whose a threat on the the USA TEAM!! NOBODY!!!!!
