[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=SoccerRef][quote=Anonymous]^^ America is not responsible for Pulisic’s talent or development.  That’s been said over and over again.  Try to catch up.

How do you figure?[/quote]

Pulisic was in the DA system (PA Classics) from 2008-2015, age 10-15.

Those are formative years, so it's hard to say the US system has no responsibility for developing his talent.

That said, it is beyond dispute that if he had stayed in the US system instead of going to Dortmund at age 16, his development would not have accelerated as it did.[/quote]

He only trained in official practice 2 days per week.  He first learned the game in England.  His parents did most of the training and Christian did most of the work in his own backyard.  He took several overseas trips to train with the best along the way---even including the famed 'La Masia'.

Nope.  It wasn't a system of Us travel/DA coaches that made him the player he is today.  I love how they are now trying to glom onto him and claim the credit. It's laughable.

Nope---323 million people in the Country and they don't even get to truly claim the one shining star that made it.  And, it's telling at the young age of 15 he hightailed it the hell out of here.  That is Freshmen HS age for many.[/quote]
