I am looking for Pulisic to really put him self out there and solidify himself as a US star.
The things he has been doing at Dortmund are unheard of for any american abroad let alone
a kid who is only 18 years old!
Other players to watch:
Bobby Wood, he has been one of the most underrated USA players for awhile now and it is completely undeserved. But again, he has played very well abroad.
Deandre Yedlin as quietly been on a tear at Newcastle United. He has tools which many other defenders just don't have. His speed to get back and forth as well as his crossing is really making him an asset. I am looking to see him and Pulisic working together.
John Brooks, has been a rock for the USA. Again, another player who is really becoming one of the elite players in Europe. It has been rumored that teams like Manchester United are lining up and ready to make a big bid for him. And again, he is only 23.
Lynden Gooch is a relatively unknown for many americans. As a 20 year old, he as been getting a lot of playing time for Sunderland (who is terrible) but still a premiership team. He seems to be more of an attacking midfielder and again, I am interested to see if he gets some playing time with Pulisic.
To me, this lineup is yelling for a 4-4-2 with Gooch and Pulisic at the flanks of the midfield and Jones and Bradley in the middle.
Also, this will be a great test to see how we are sans Dempsey.
It is a new team and a new day, and I gotta say, 2-1 USA.
