He played pretty damn well in the WC up until the Belgium waffle game.


So he played well in 1 1/2, played terrible in one (missed the end), and missed 2 1/2 others with an injury

He's rated around #100 in the top players in the world. Going by NFL standards, imagine if you had Ladd McConkey (#100 2025) as your best player and all your hopes and dreams of winning funneled through him.

I do think he is kind of soft and frequently injured but you can’t compare someone losing a tooth to someone having a lower leg injury. No professional athlete is going to leave a game because their tooth got knocked out (assuming it wasn’t a mandibular fracture)


Bruh. You honestly think Pulisic is gonna stay in the game after losing a tooth? He couldn't play through a twisted ankle.

He signed for an MLS team at age 14, he was touted as the next pele. No one can be more overrated than Freddy

Uh … Freddy Adu?

Pulisic is only overrated in the United States. Also, he plays for AC Milan. He’s not terrible.

He is too soft, and he gets bullied off the ball.

I still believe they lied about his age.

Serie A ain’t what it used to be. Also, Pulisic had what? 3 different managers at Chelsea? Always injured etc. Talented no doubt, but unreliable and soft.

Not even close to the English press when it comes to their national team.

I still get a kick out of the English media blaming the WAGs for their 2006 World Cup performance while ignoring Rooney’s red card against Portugal, Sven Goran Eriksson being an imbecile, and the fact that half the squad apparently hated each other because of their club rivalries.

This has nothing to do with this WC

But if I had guessed, I’d be in the ~300 range

He’s a skilled player who can’t deal with physical opponents well and is injury prone. He would do better on a team with other players that take the focus off of him.

AC doesn’t pay him because he sucks.
