too bad he didn't play. Interesting Pulisic slamming the fans for not showing, wonder how much ticket prices were last night.
... to play (and often star) for the USMNT. And he is paid very well to sometimes play for Chelsea. Bitching about working people not shelling out money to watch a friendly against a non-power on a mid-week evening it tone deaf. His sense of entitlement is a bit inflated in my opinion.
how expensive the tickets were. I might be willing to give him a little slack that the comments were made in ignorance, or in part, directed more at the association for setting the ticket prices rather than the fans.
That's ridiculous for a friendly.
My friend is recovering/quarentining from Covid, so he couldn't make it. I blamed him for Pulisic's comments, haha
Hard to justify showing up for a friendly at those prices.
Like $80-200 per ticket and $40 to park on top of that. At least that's what is floating around on Twitter.
I too would be glad to see that, but I haven’t seen anything other than speculation that it might happen.
don't care for CP that much, but the new owner is American who potentially views CP as a marketing tool for the club in the USA. I don't go deep into the soccer tabloids, so my guess is 50/50 he leaves.
and agree with your assessment. I didn’t know if I had missed something though indicating that he was definitely being sold.
That he and his family want out of Chelsea.
Almost immediately after the season ended, he took any mention of Chelsea out of his IG bio.
Does he really have a chance to make the World Cup team?
I think it was from the site that we don't link to, but apparently as a junior he wasn't too far behind Pulisic & Tyler Adams, before taking more time to click as a pro. Nuri Sahin has been a good mentor to him, and IMO having a good finisher could be the difference between making the knockout stages and going home early.
Injuries can always change that, obviously. But there are guys in the center of the pitch that will stay ahead of him for now.
He has a good ceiling, though. Absolutely could be in the middle of it for 2026.
