I will be unsubscribing due to you people calling out people opinions. Its digusting. We live in the usa its ok to disagree with ones way of life. If yallnwant to condone trans people thats fine. Ibdont agree with that so ill check out my usmnt soccer else where.
See ya 👋
I'll clarify a bit. It's fine if Trans people exist nobody has a problem with that. As long as they are of legal age more power to them. Hopefully you'll agree that everyone can have an opinion on this topic but I don't want to hear about it when I come to listen about soccer talk. Anyways good luck in the future. BTW I may have been harsh at yall prematurely so I apologize for coming off mad at all in particular. I'm just tired of this nonsense seeping into every aspect of life.
I'm a Milan fan and I love pulisic he's helped my team and I'm so happy about this
The US fans are very happy as well :)
Good to have you back Jake. The community needs more positive content.
Thanks so much! Good to see you here again.
Agreed. I'm tired of every channel just being an anti-Berhalter circle jerk. I'm not a fan of the guy either but people just complain about him constantly.
@@rascality9714 Do you not see the irony of replying to a comment about the need for more positive content by... complaining about the community and calling "every other channel" "an anti-Berhalter circle jerk"? If you want to build positivity in the community, be positive. For you maybe that starts with understanding that being critical of a coach is positivity-neutral in sports. Positivity starts with the kind of grace and benefit of the doubt we can extend to others. It's not about being "rah-rah our guys are always doing great," which in sports is more being a booster than a fan.
@nessuno_ I'm not gonna start a flame war here friend but being critical of a team and coach has its place. I agree with alot of it I want GGG gone too. I'm just tired of how much content is now just the same tired complaints about him.
Tom, great news about becoming a star in the star world
Man I love that you're getting more active on your channel again! One of my favorite channels on youtube!! Cheer 🍻
I appreciate that!
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!
Do do da do do do 🎶
I've missed the chemistry betw|n you two.content + chemistry = wow
Thank you Stephen!
Good to see back, Jake! Huge congrats on the paper, Tom! I'm a professor myself. So I know how much that means.
Hey, thanks!
Jake, it's good to have you back. As I've said before, you are a great soccer analyst. You need to be in front of the camera, not behind it in a backroom somewhere. I hope you are enjoying the Beautiful Game again. All the best to you and your family.
Much love thanks so much. Good to be back.
FINALLY!!!!!
A potential problem with the Wright LW, Pulisic RW formation is that Dest is at his best when he plays high to support the attack. Whereas Haji benefits from this kind of support, Pulisic occupies the same space. Pulisic has benefited from the more restrained support from Jedi. Wright also has two good feet. Maybe he could play RW
It's a great point and one we need to consider in terms of how he would fit with the full 11 and not just his best position.
I have seen Cavan Sullivan play. He really is technically the best I have seen for such a young player.
Great o have you guys back. Pulisic's ability with both feet makes him perfect for the 10 at Milan or ether wing of course. Tom's right, Pulisic rarely does get passes but maybe with Chukwueze making runs and passing he will now.
I liked how it looked with Chuk on the right and Puli in the middle!
Welcome back!
#FreeIt’sCalled Soccer Glad to have you back bro. I thought you’d been abducted by Aliens.
Something like that 😂
I think Pepi is ill-advised. Going to Augsburg was a bad move. He recovered from that and ended up at PSV, supposedly for the long term. I understand he wants to compete for the starting role at the Copa America, but he's only 21 years old. He has to learn to be patient and take things as they come. His agent's statement acknowledges the form of Luke DeJong several times but in full acknowledgement of that the statement should never have been made. Not only has DeJong been in great form, and not only is DeJong Dutch, the team captain, and a club legend as you've mentioned, but he's also in a scoring title race with Pavlidis. Of course DeJong is going to play as many minutes as possible trying to win that title. It's not what Pepi was hoping for, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Pepi could have gotten injured, Pepi could be locked playing out of position for years. Pepi should take a look at what Sargent has gone through and how he's handled it and put his nose to the grindstone.
Well well said. 100%
Part of it is Pulisic's fault too. He, at times, has a bad habit of holding onto the ball too long. He'll have golden opportunities to pass the ball up to a breaking teammate but either doesn't look up to see it, or is too focused on showing off his dribbling. (I think, it is most likely the former.) But it's possible that his team has noticed this too and then decides to punish him by avoiding him.
Maybe a bit of both. And also for everyone hindsight is 20/20 to know when the right time to pass or shoot was.
I'm not sure about pulisic beating 2,3 by dribbling and scoring. But ohh boy he can finish, he can finish From his left foot, right foot, outside the box. He always finds himself in the right positions.

I'm a Coventry supporter so I've watched many games that Haji Wright has played. You cannot judge a player solely by how many goals they score. That is too simplistic. You also have to look at how many goals they should have scored but missed. Haji blows hot and cold, he scores amazing goals but also misses many relatively easy chances. I've also watched many games with Josh Sargent. In my opinion Josh Sargent is the most complete striker, but then again he won't score the goals that Haji Wright will.
Pepi needs a new agent... Leagues cup also showing that MLS is not that good at the moment.
But MLS won Leagues Cup?
Milan is a Top 10 club or higher. Playing for Milan improves your technical ability & your quick combination play. The Premier League will never give you what playing for a good Serie A or La Liga team will.
A wise person might wonder why GGG can’t get the results Pulisic is getting in Europe in CONCACAF?
I don't share Korbin's viewpoint, yet I find it hypocritical that her sharing personal beliefs are not allowed while advocacy for the modern view is not only allowed, but lauded. I also feel the response would not be the same if Korbin were a Muslim, or another religion that shares the same perspective. Long story short, I think there is room to grow in terms of tolerance on many fronts.
Like I said to another commenter, nobody is upset about her religious affiliation. People are upset about her actions which she says is because of her religious beliefs. Whether you are atheist or Christian or Muslim if you use that as a reason to spread hate against certain groups of people, that’s wrong.
@ItsCalledSoccer Her action was posting a sermon clip that said its wrong to feel transgender or gay. What makes that so exceptionally wrong relative to posting a clip saying abortion is a human right (a view many will find offensive), or that it's wrong to feel masculine.
@ItsCalledSoccer Genuinely interested in your perspective..
@@kylesherman895 The content Albert shared is perceived as directly harmful to LGBTQ+ individuals by promoting views that marginalize and discriminate against them. This community has historically faced significant prejudice, violence, and systemic discrimination. Sharing content that negates their identity or deems their feelings as 'wrong' can contribute to their marginalization and mental health issues, reinforcing societal biases and discrimination. Comparatively, expressing support for abortion rights or discussions around masculinity does not inherently discriminate against a protected class or suggest that an aspect of someone's identity is inherently wrong. These issues, while also controversial and capable of generating significant debate, are often framed within the context of rights, autonomy, and personal freedom, rather than negating the validity of an individual's identity or existence.
Omg Tom big brain flex much haha
I mean I did make him talk about it because… deserved to brag about that
Sargent?
He's in the convo!
Berhalther is underrated. He could be coaching any amateur club in the world. But he chose to coach our team. We should be thankful.
Can’t tell if this is a backhanded diss or not 😂
Haji Wright scored his goals through the middle for the U.S., so let's stop talking about Wright as a left wing.
That was one game.
France produces 10 14yo like him a year.
Maybe 4 but not 10. Not saying Cavan will become something but we are talking about 14 years old.
Man City don't think so... I think it's more accurate to say that France produce a 14 year old like him every couple of years. And a 14 year old is only a prospect. Most of the top 14 year olds don't become elite professionals.
Do religious beliefs legitimize bigotry? I don’t think so.😊
Absolutely not. I’m not making excuses for her, what she did and shared was wrong and disgusting. BUT I also believe people can change and if she is truly sorry for what she did then I don’t want to hold it against her for the rest of her career.
Korbin Albert is being attacked for her religious beliefs. You all and your so high horses. Get down here and touch some grass. 44:30
When your religious beliefs make you hateful towards a group of people for existing, then no we should not tolerate the ACTIONS you take towards that group of people. Nobody is upset at Albert for being Christian lol it’s that her and her family are hiding behind that as an excuse for her actions.
Let him finish a good season before we talk about him reaching his potential.
