• Pulisic named male US player of the year

Congratulations to Christian Pulisic fro being named male US soccer player of the year. To be quite honest this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone simply because Pulisic has clearly been the best US player this year. However it seems that he might get some competition (and help ehen it comes to the USMNT) with Weston McKinnie playing a solid season for Schalke and Josh Sargent joining Werder Bremen soon.

Here a message from the “American Messi” himself:

• Another CB linked to BVB
