Americans Abroad: Big games for Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, and can Malik Tillman find form for Bayer Leverkusen?

Americans in Big-Time European Games

It's what we want to see, right? Americans playing in big-time European games. For so long, that has been the barometer of success for USMNTers.

Opportunities for USMNT Players

They are playing in the biggest games in Europe, therefore they are now better footballers. Is that a true equivalency? Perhaps not. But there is no doubting that there are plenty of big games at this time of the season, and participating in them is no bad thing.

  • Christian Pulisic has a big chance to find his footing.
  • Weston McKennie is also playing in big games.
  • Malik Tillman is looking to find form for Bayer Leverkusen.
Is that a true equivalency? Perhaps not.
