Oh well, at least I predicted this.

Again, I’m not sure how CLEAR it has to be.

American men are treated like trash when they play in Europe.

Pulisic is being punished for USMNT. For being an American. For not being English. The coach just waited for an excuse.

If this is happening with our best American player...

Don’t know what else to say. I’m just going to continue to believe what I believe and I know that it is truth.

WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN when it comes to Men’s Soccer.

End of freaken story.

THANK YOU.

They develop their own! ONLY!

**jediwands** · 09-17-2019, 03:49 PM

Which is what we need to do. No one cares about developing American soccer players in Europe!

**jediwands** · 09-17-2019, 03:49 PM

Ding, ding, ding!

It seems Pulisic is essentially being punished for USMNT. Lost his place not only in the starting line up, but now isn’t even playing in games AT ALL.

I have mentioned my concerns many times as you know.

Here we go again!!!!!!

Precisely why I have the strong feelings that I have. I don’t want to be right but again... the evidence is here about the anti-American bias, not caring about your National Team because it’s not in Europe, AND now that Pulisic doesn’t even play that hurts our National Team.

Honestly, I knew this would happen. It always does!

I have said over and over again growing MLS is the only way! Our American players will continue to be treated like crap in Europe in the top leagues. I’m not sure how many more examples need to play out. This doesn’t happen when Europeans come to the United States to play in our top sports leagues. There is no bias, they don’t miss a beat because they are European or from another part of the world. The opposite, actually. They are treated like kings and queens. That is never going to happen when American men play soccer in Europe. Period. American coaches get paid less for being American. Of course American players get screwed... as we see, even Pulisic.

What madness that continues. Until we change things HERE in Men’s Soccer. Of course I’ve been saying this for years.

THis was an international break when all the nations play for their nation's teams. Pulisic wasn't punished because he played for the US. He wasn't going to start anyway.
I never condoned playing in Europe if you don't play. I believe Europe is better for our players if they do have regular playing time.

Let's wait and see what happens in the next game.

He not only didn't start, he hasn't played A FCKING MINUTE since returning there early. Two whole matches! ZERO minutes. Coincidence?

This was due to the break and finding an excuse for this disgusting coach to play his ENGLISH players, period.

You seem to be the only one who doesn't see this, Betty.

He's horrible but it doesn't matter which English coach (or any other European coach) would be in there, the same thing would eventually happen.

Moyes is a rarity. There's 30 others who are not like Moyes.

Which Americans, past and present, have gotten regular playing time in EPL? Brian M, and who else? Everyone else has gotten screwed, had to leave like Bradley, Dempsey, Altidore, etc. Unless you are in other leagues like the German league (probably the best for American players) you are screwed. EPL is the worst. It is the death sentence for American players. Actually, according to a thread on a soccer forum today Pulisic was actually getting less and less playing time for Dortmund too apparently.

Let me tell you what is happening. Americans are treated like dirt in Europe, even our best dudes, Christian Pulisic. These English loving coaches (who don't even know how to coach) prefer their own, they prefer other Europeans over any American player. There was a break, CP went home, it was enough of a break to remind this English twit of a moron to start benching the American and focus on his English players instead. This is the sad reality and it is why every time we get excited when one of our own makes it big, only to realize this is the evil reality. Our Nat team doesn't grow because of the imbalance.
