CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

Christian Pulisic Signs with BVB

When Christian Pulisic broke onto the youth soccer scene as a teenager, playing for PA Classics and the IMG residency for US Soccer, other countries and clubs took notice. Specifically, in the process of scouting another US youth national, Dortmund took notice. When he moved to Germany to join the club, his emergence on the global scene accelerated.

Pulisic impressed for both the U17 and U19 Dortmund teams, and quickly worked his way into the senior team. At the same time, Pulisic broke through with the US Men’s National team. He, along with a generation of young American talent featuring in the top flights of Europe, offered the country a new sense of hope that the country could break through globally.

Brian Sciaretta joined the show to talk about Pulisic’s continued growth at Dortmund, then Chelsea and most recently AC Milan. He shared his thoughts on the generation of talent that has defined the Pulisic-era of the USMNT and contemplates what still may be yet to come.
