And the US is out just as we actually have a true, undisputed world class player finally.

Who he?

Who he?

Pulisic?

 

[PITA]

Italy need a bit of failure. It’s good for a nation.

It hasn't done England any good.

It hasn't done England any good.

Yes it has, it's hilarious for me personally, does a lot of good!

Never heard of him

attacking midfielder or winger for Borussia Dortmund. FourFourTwo rated him the 4th best teenager in the world.

The United States’ failure to qualify for World Cup 2018 suggests there’s plenty of room for improvement – but Pulisic’s growth in the last couple of years has provided plenty of promise for the future.

The Borussia Dortmund forward became the youngest non-German to score a Bundesliga goal in April 2016 – aged just 17 years and 212 days old – and has gone from strength to strength since.

Capable of playing on either flank or as a No.10, Pulisic is quick, direct and never afraid to run at an opponent. The 19-year-old is a superb dribbler who’s particularly dangerous in transition, a creative passer and clinical finisher.

Not for the first time in his fledgling career, Borussia Dortmund sensation Christian Pulisic is being spoken about in the same breath as the great Lionel Messi.

The USA magician has attempted more dribbles (86) than almost every other player across Europe's top five leagues so far this season - all except Messi (113) and Paris-Saint Germain's Neymar (96). Mainz midfielder Levin Öztunali (61) also features in the Opta top 10.

Pulisic's fondness for taking on opposition players was plain to see in Der Klassiker last weekend. Although Dortmund lost the game 3-1, the 19-year-old came up smelling of roses after spending most of the evening tying up Bayern Munich right-back Joshua Kimmich in knots.

"Pulisic was clearly our best player," BVB head coach Peter Bosz told Sky after the match. "He had an incredible game."

So good, in fact, that Germany legend Lothar Matthäus could even see him one day joining former Dortmund stars Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels in the Bavarian capital.

"When Bayern Munich eventually look for a replacement for [Arjen] Robben and [Franck] Ribery, then they have to put out their feelers for Pulisic," the ex-Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern and Inter Milan midfielder said. "He is 19 and has the quality."

[Armel]

He kicks the ball in his own face.

 

[peteblue]

I assume Hart will be back between the sticks, he needs the International experience having only played over 70+ games.....

We all thought of @Mikey_Fitzgerald just then right ?

 

[ijjysmith]

Never heard of him

He is good mate.

Wouldn’t quite put him in world class. Yet. But he’s young and could do it.

Linked with the Rs obviously.

 

[longers]

Pulisic is a united fan and would cost money that Liverpool could never afford.

Days and days of hype for lotus cheek.

Goes off injured.
