Americans Abroad: Rough Revierderby for Pulisic and McKennie

The showdown between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke could have gone better for both of the American teenagers involved

The Revierderby on Saturday between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke was billed as a unique showcase that could display the talents of two of the most exciting players in the United States player pool — Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie.

Instead fans were treated to an incredible clash, but one that featured the two teenagers suffering through quite a bit of disappointment on the day.

Pulisic returned to the Dortmund lineup, making a bit of history in the process as the youngest non-German to reach 50 Bundesliga appearances, hoping to provide a spark after missing the last two contests with injury.
