Christian Pulisic starts Dortmund’s finale today, becoming the fifth (and youngest) U.S. international to play 32 Bundesliga games in a season.

He joins Timmy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo (5x), Kasey Keller & Eric Wynalda.

Pulisic and Dortmund have qualified for CL.

Wood got a second yellow late in Hamburg's match and they have been relegated.

Brooks and Wolfsburg will have to play in the relegation playoff to stay in the Bundesliga.

On a per-90-minutes basis, Pulisic's goals & assists were down this Bundesliga season. Goals only marginally, the assists by quite a bit...

2017-18 per 90: 0.16 goals, 0.19 ast, 0.20 xG, 0.18 xA, 0.39 xG+xA,

2016-17 per 90: 0.18 goals, 0.36 ast, 0.22 xG, 0.26 xA, 0.48 xG+xA

It’s also important to remember that Pulisic is still only 19.

In this Bundesliga season, among players currently under 20, Pulisic played the most minutes, had the most xG & xA, the second-most chances created, and more than double the number of one-v-ones of anyone else.

Miazga started today for Vitesse in the 2nd leg of the Europa League qualifying semi-final. They ended up winning 2-1 (7-3 agg). They will play 2 legs against Utrecht for the last EL spot.

With Parks, McKennie, and Adams, y'all are going to forget about that Mexican kid real quickly.

McKennie apparently had his best game of the season today. Also deflated a ball with a tackle.

Don’t look now, but Gyasi Zardes is leading MLS with 8 goals in 12 games for the Columbus Crew in the young 2018 campaign.

Getting away from the Galaxy dumpster fire has done him wonders. Still misses a sitter here and there, but he’s performing his best since 2014.

But did he improve his touch and can he use his weak foot ? Gyasi always gave effort and I love him for that and his lucky deflection goals , he also backtracks too but he has so many bad touches that ruins the build up it’s maddening .

He will always be a Wondo type player. He may do well at times in MLS, but he does not belong on the international stage.

The only player I hate more than Wondo is Zardes, god does he suck.

Potentially tough news for the #USMNT with regards to the upcoming friendlies as Kenny Saief was subbed out of Anderlecht's game today in the 15th minute due to an injury.

We can't have nice things.
