So there's a 3 part documentary called Pulisic that came out December 2024. I watched it tonight and it's quite good.
Already loved the guy but Holy shit what he's accomplished already through the super difficult route he took just impressed me so much. God I hope he can somehow lead the Yanks into a deep Cup run here in the States.

Seems Dest is back healthy now. Hopefully he'll get some time with the team for the Nation's Semi and Final should we take care of business.
I prefer all hands on deck as much as possible but that's just me.

Poch: USMNT can be world's best in 5 or 10 years
Mauricio Pochettino has said the U.S. men's national team can be the best in the world within "five or 10 years" due to the growth and investment in soccer in the country.
Pochettino: USMNT can be world's best team in 5 or 10 years
Mauricio Pochettino has said the U.S. men's national team can be the best in the world within "five or 10 years" due to the growing investment in soccer in the country.Pochettino, who was appointed USMNT coach last September, has not shied away from the pressure of leading the team at the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The USMNT's best finish at a World Cup was a semifinal place at the inaugural edition in 1930 and, in the modern era, a quarterfinal exit in 2002.
But the former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach cited the U.S. Soccer Federation's recent announcement of a new national training center in Atlanta, financed in part by a $50 million contribution from Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank, as a catalyst for the U.S. to join the world's elite soccer countries.
It is, he said, "as important an impact" as having eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi currently playing in MLS with Inter Miami.
"The eight countries which have won the World Cup all have amazing training centers," he told British media outlets in an interview published Tuesday.
"When you go to the U.S. now [for training camps], one time you go to Los Angeles, then it's New York, Chicago, Miami, Orlando or St. Louis. Where is the center for football? If you look at the training centers of the NFL and baseball, you say: 'Wow.' With football, it is: 'Where is the team going to train?' We need to ask the colleges and universities.

Just sayin': As long as the best (young) athletes in the United States aspire to play in the NBA, NFL, or MLB the USMNT will never be the world's best. Just compare the average salaries of the NBA, the NFL, or the MLB to the MLS:
For the 2024-25 NBA season, the average salary for an NBA player is projected to be around $11.9M, a significant increase from the previous season's $9.7 million.
The average Major League Baseball (MLB) player salary in 2023 was a record high of approximately $4.66M, with the median salary being about $1.5 million
The average NFL player salary is around $3.2 million per year in 2024, up from $2.8 million in 2023
The average salary for an MLS player in 2024 was $594,390; up from $530,262 in 2023.
