MilanTV commentator Mauro Suma is loving the arrival of Christian Pulisic to AC Milan more than anyone else. The Italian commentator has seen two Pulisic goals in two games and his reactions are the best.
Suma’s call of Pulisic’s goal vs. Torino from Saturday is about as good as it gets. The USMNT star opened the scoring in the 33rd minute to give Milan a 1-0 lead and this was Suma’s response on air.

“Come on baby! Come on baby! Come on baby! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! Again! He did it again! Christian Pulisic the captain of USA national team!”
This is commentary gold. While quite humorous, it’s also a classy gesture to switch from Italian to English just for Pulisic’s goal. Suma is going to quickly become beloved by USMNT fans.
Suma had a similar reaction to Pulisic’s screamer vs. Bologna for his first Serie A goal.
“USA! USA! USA!”

This might be my favorite reaction to a U.S. goal from a non-English commentator since that iconic clip of the Mexican announcer saying “God bless America!”
That happened during the last day of Concacaf’s 2014 World Cup qualifying. With Mexico losing to Costa Rica, they needed the USMNT to at least draw Panama to make sure El Tri would go to a World Cup playoff game.
The USMNT delivered.
