[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ he's young and the on-field numbers are already there, he boasts better stats than [b]Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi [/b]produced at his age. By Matchday 4, when he was still 18, he had played 60 games for Dortmund, more than Ronaldo or Messi had managed at that age. The youngest non-German player to chalk up 50 Bundesliga appearances, he has already scored ten goals in an impressive 75 games across all competitions for Die Schwarzgelben. Attempting 291 dribbles and managing a 76.2% successful pass rate in Germany’s top division offers , numbers many players with far more experience could only dream of.

But, the bloom is off the rose.  In typical American fashion, everyone is ready to sh*t on him.[/quote]

He is not in that class nor does he have that level of talent. He is a good player with a lot of upside in terms of the European professional leagues but he is not Messi or Ronaldo. You put either one of those players on the US team and they would have easily qualified. Messi and Ronaldo in their prime are once in a generation and you build your team around them. Seriously compare salaries and transfer fees.[/quote]

No, he is not.  They are in a unique Class of their own--the Peles, Best, Cryuff, etc..  But, he is much better than many jaded Americans in this thread give him credit for.  They used to use him as their 'calling card' now we are back to, we will never have a player that can compete successfully on the World stage---when Pulisic's stats have been pretty amazing for your average 18/19-year old Fifa player.[/quote]
