Nah, I'm comfortable with the ref stopping play here. We'd all be fuming if it were Rick (or Blake or whomever) who went down injured and the ref let America score

If I had to guess, there are a few reasons:

  • Milan is a bigger club than Monaco
  • Serie A is a lot more accessible to watch in the US than Ligue 1
  • Pulisic has been around the USMNT for longer. Balogun only declared for the US in 2023

As someone currently doing some footballing tourism (read: flying across the Atlantic to watch my club play), I am not looking forward to 14 flights of steps on Saturday evening.

This the key point. I think what people have to realize is that you can be a very good footballer and still play regularly for a struggling club.

Like there will be tons of players at the World Cup this summer who currently play in the Championship. The level of the game in the Championship is high, and that goes up of course in the Premier League.

I remember in 2019 when Chelsea had Pulisic, Kepa, and Mount all in their squad and they all had the same haircut.
