If he and McKennie and Weah all stay healthy keep progressing as top players in top Serie A teams, 2024 Copa America and the 2026 World Cup start to look very interesting for the US.

I sure hope so. As a Chelsea guy I was so excited to have him. I hope he becomes what he can for the USMNT
Pulisic’s sensational season at AC Milan continues. Game still on CBS Sports Network:
Crap forgot about that match and we drew 1-1 too. Sounds like it was a much better performance than against Columbia.
Much better. We were shaky at times, but so was Brazil. It was a up tempo game... and at one point late in the second as the US was about to counter a Brazil player grabbed Turner to commit a foul for a free kick to slow down the pace of play and give them a chance to catch their breath and get back. Turner smiled. I've never seen Brazil do this before... ever. Our back line is still inconsistent, but this team has talent. I just think they are far too inconsistent to be a real threat.
I'm just glad to see that we're finally gonna win the World Cup!
I was happy to see a number of kids wearing Pulisic AC MIlan jerseys when I was traveling Italy the last couple of weeks.
They’re about to kick off on CBS vs Parma, the team owned by the Krause family of Des Moines (sponsors of Hawkeye athletics and owners of the Des Moines Menace).
That’s not even counting the Champions League, in which he scored in their opener last week.
Wow. He was just named Italian Serie A Player of the Month for September, and he’s still rolling.
Now let's see him do that in the World Cup as he leads the US to a World Championship!!!
Yeah, I'm sure that will happen........

I wonder if he ment to do that? Keeper usually stops those, not sure what that keeper was doing.
Keeper should have made that play but you take them when you can get them.
I'm sure Pulisic did mean to curve it into the goal. My guess is he saw the keeper was off his line too far and that makes stopping the curving corner into the goal a much more difficult save so he figured he'd give it a shot and see what happened. It helped that he was able to perfectly get it too high for the front defender to block it but got it to drop right after that. That is tough placement.
Pulisic can’t stop scoring. This time he hits an Olimpico in the Champions League. He’s easily in the Serie A Player of the Season discussion:
I was hesitant to say it before but after watching the full highlights of match and Leao being subbed off in the 56th minute and his replacement coming in and scoring twice. I think this is very clearly Pulisic's team now. At least in terms of who the best player is and who they want to build around in the future.
I even snooped on an Italian Milan forum and used google translate to see what they are saying. I always tend to prefer to see what long time local fans think as they are less likely to be biased towards a certain player like we are. A lot of their posts indicate they are done with Leao, they don't think he plays very hard while they view Pulisic as a player who gives it his all out there. They also made comments like "Without Pulisic we are nothing" and "Pulisic seems to be the only player who understands that you have to shoot at the goal to score."
He’s racking up assists which is great, but think it just shows the lack of scoring on the USMNT for him to pass to. My biggest concerns are consistency in the net and who the hell is going to be a reliable threat up top. I haven’t seen much from either in years.
The pundits are echoing your point, Hoosier, as Pulisic scored the game tying goal late and the got the hockey assist on the winner via a through ball in the final seconds of added time in AC Milan’s Supercoppa Italiana Final today. Their first title in four years.
In his past situations, Pulisic would have been buried in the squad and maybe get a cameo late. It’s awful telling if a club sends him out for 90 in somewhat significant matches as soon as he was forecasted and then cleared medical.
I don’t doubt Pulisic has a desire to return to England but at this point I can’t see why he would do so before 26.

I’m not sure why he’d want to. Milan is a great city, AC is a historic club and a giant in Italy, and he’s regularly in the Champions League. The only way he goes to England is if Milan don’t make it to the Champions League.
Great to see Musah play yesterday as well. Pulisic and Robinson are the two guys on fire for the US right now.
His pass to set up the final goal was his best play of the night.
