Christian Pulisic: The Michael Phelps of Soccer?

Christian Pulisic is an American (henceforth called football) professional soccer player. He plays for Borussia Dortmund, a German football team. This is highly unusual. While it's not uncommon for European football teams to have players from all over the world, it is uncommon for an American football player to be among them. When it comes to men's football, America has a pretty bad track history. This is to say nothing of the levels of excellence that the women's soccer team has delivered again and again.

The Eurocup is busy underway and it seems like the international tournament has relegated club football to a back seat. For Chelsea F.C. this is especially worrying, as their new coach Antonio Conte is busy managing the Italian football team instead of preparing his future team for the upcoming season. Not to worry, the club is well on its way to sealing important new transfers, and retaining future young prospects this upcoming season.
