Can't remember if it was posted here earlier, but a few months back there was a really good piece on Pulisic and how he grew up.

Basically, his dad had a clue how to nurture a soccer prodigy, even going so far as to found an adult futsal league in Detroit that Christian could play in when he was a kid.

Well the CR draw was nice for us. Panama ain't beating CR by 8 (we're 7 up in GD plus up in goals scored) and Honduras is even further behind.

Some speculation out there Pulisic may not be good to go Tuesday. Not great but if we can't beat the worst team in the hex who from what I have read isn't even calling some of its better players due to pay disputes .. well ..

Both his father and mother (I believe) played in college, and his father I'm pretty sure also played semi-pro as an adult for an indoor soccer league (from what I remember in an interview). And he grew up in the US (minus the small amount of time abroad). If you want to give his parents more credit than the youth development in this country, that's fine. But let's not pretend (as an example) that this is some dual citizen who grew up his entire life in Germany, and when he couldn't qualify for the German national team, he decided to play for the US. The guy grew up here and his parents nurtured his talents throughout his youth, until he was good enough to get signed by Dortmund.

All I'm saying is, it IS possible to have someone of his caliber come from the States.

go to 28:30 of this vid for last week's 60 Minutes segment on GOAT (including a pic of his prom date ).

a quick LOL at Cruizn as Mehico's U-17s weren't able to handle Iraq.

So Tuesday night is Bein sport correct? Any spanish speaking channels covering in US?

USA looked great 1-0 win vs ghana

So tomorrow's game..arguably one of the most crucial in US Soccer history, is not being shown on ESPN or a major cable channel?

A loss tomorrow, and US Soccer goes back 20 years.

I guess ESPN didn't want to travel to a banana republic during hurricane season..

Well the host country, aka T&T gets to pick who they want to use as the provider if I remember correctly.

Interesting..I didn't even know this was a "thing"..

host country might provide the feed, but i can't imagine they get to determine where is airs in the other country, that is nonsensical

the game appears to be on beIN SPORTS & NBC Universo

ya i'm with you man

(i was joking in my previous post)

Actually I'm pretty sure the host nation in hex quals determines the rights sale so, yes, they do control where it airs.

in the other country? wtf

Lol CONCACAF
Lol Diamond Jack
etc

(and goes to show you how long it's been since we've been in the Hex)

yeah i'm pretty sure that's how it works. Jack Warner ftl.

that pretty much covers it.

pretty sure that the current u17 and pulisic are something to get way more excited for than anything previously put on the field by prior USMNTs

Conditions are perfect for the match

People still don’t get BeIN Sport?

for the most part in the States, you'd need to purchase the top sports package add-on to get BeIN.

No channel in the US showed the US at Honduras game in 2009. That US win clinched a spot in the World Cup.

Was going to post the same link.

It makes sense for the country to sell the entire package as BEIN may pay more for the entire package then FS1 or ESPN would pay for just the US game.

People being angry at T&T or CONCACAF should be angry at ESPN or Fox for not paying enough.

beIN Sports is owned by the Qatari dudes who own PSG
if they want something, they get it
see: Neymar, Mbappe

ESPN/Fox basically Arsenal in this analogy

is GOAT a go for tonight?

What time tonight?

in 50 minutes

He is. Same team as last game.
