Christian Pulisic says that games would be better for fans if VAR (video assistant referee) was no longer part of the game. The Pulisic VAR opinion came as a surprise to most fans who consider VAR a positive addition.
Pulisic shared this take on Tim Ream’s podcast “The American Dream.”
Imagine telling U.S. Soccer fans that the USMNT have a player consistently starting for a team in Europe’s top five leagues, that team is in the top five of their league and the player is putting up solid performances.
That player would be called up in a heartbeat and the U.S. Soccer social media accounts should be talking about him nonstop. That isn’t the case however, and that’s because the player in question is John Brooks.
The Champions League is back and so are the stars that come along with it.
This season in the UEFA Champions League will be the first in almost two decades without the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi — arguably the two best players of all time and the two all-time goal scorers in the competition.
MUNICH — Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane scored his first Bundesliga hat-trick and delivered two assists in their 7-0 demolition of VfL Bochum on Saturday to take his tally to seven and set a club record for most goals by a player in his first five league matches.
Kane's three goals put him above club great Gerd Müller, Miroslav Klose and Mario Mandzukic who all scored five times in their first five Bundesliga games.
The appearances of Americans in Europe’s most prestigious club competition has become a norm in the past few decades. With players like Weston McKennie who has played in five straight editions of the competition and Christian Pulisic who won the tournament in 2021 with Chelsea, the UEFA Champions League has gotten accustomed to seeing the United States’ best.
While Jude Bellingham continues to show out with Real Madrid in LaLiga, EA Sports have made it their personal objective to humble the Englishman, along with other stars of the game, with their new game ratings.
“What goes up, must come down” — the person in charge of deciding Bellingham’s rating on EAFC must have said.
Christian Pulisic is widely regarded as the best American soccer player. We went through his career and picked the top 10 best Pulisic goals that have been scored.
In his young career he’s played for the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and AC Milan. We looked at all the goals he’s scored with those clubs and the United States men’s national team to make this top 10 list.
The criteria for making the list is simple: how good was the goal?
Fans wondering how many Americans play in Champions League action this season will be pleased to know that nine USMNT players will compete in the competition.
The Champions League draw took place on Thursday and now we know who all the Americans will be facing in the group stage.
Paris St Germain will kick off their quest for a maiden Champions League trophy in a strong Group F, which looks to be the Champions League Group of Death, featuring Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle United following the draw on Thursday. This means American Christian Pulisic will face his former club Dortmund as well as PSG in the opening stage of his quest for a second Champions League trophy.
Brenden Aaronson was given a red card in bizarre fashion on Saturday during Union Berlin’s 4-1 victory vs. Darmstadt.
In his second Bundesliga start with Union Berlin he had a nightmare of a day. It started off rough as he received a yellow card in the first five minutes for a high boot.
This card was debatable for being so early in the game but not too controversial.
Aaronson’s second yellow card was truly strange as the referee sent him off in the 21st minute for kicking the ball away after play was stopped.
