It’s been a sobering week for young Americans with many players finding playing time or success on the field a challenge. I will continue my ranking system to denote whether I believe these players are ready for a callup (1-nowhere near ready, 5-absolutely call them up) next month. Here’s what happened this week:
Pulisic started the season opener for Borussia Dortmund on Sunday. After falling down 1-0 30 seconds into the season, Dortmund responded in a big way. Pulisic drew the foul that Marco Reus scored on the second goal and delivered a nice ball on the third goal that was finished beautifully after the initial effort was saved.
