A Perfect Ending: US Soccer Fans Are Having One Last Fight Over Christian Pulisic And Mauricio Pochettino Because Of This Video Of Them At Practice Today

I know there's plenty to make fun of soccer fans and US Soccer. I can't help it. I love this team and will always follow them, be lost in the rumors and news and everything else. Actually I'm not even going to apologize for it. I can't change. There are plenty of us who are in the same boat.

Obviously we know about Pochettino leaving for Manchester United 

Now, I will fight that the Pochettino era was more good than anything else. I know the 0 trophies argument and that's fair. But I also see what he did with the younger group and the improvement in play from our guys under him. That's just my argument for it being a positive. He changed how we played, the fact it wasn't just kick the ball and park the bus to win in ugly fashion. 

At the same time him vs Pulisic has been a thing forever now. Really it started when Pulisic decided to skip the Gold Cup and that led to a back and forth

Then you had the World Cup and Pulisic getting hurt early and then failing in the Belgium game. People see that clip of today's practice and it's another Civil War. It's a perfect ending. I know Twitter isn't a real place and it tends to be the vocal minority in stuff. But, US fans have argued this for the last two years. 

The only way for Pochettino to go out is one last weird look with him and Pulisic. I don't think it's anything. Pulisic is in line with the drill and does the one-armed hug. As someone who isn't a hug guy, that's the go to move for those of us. You know you have to do something so it's a dap and a quick one armed hug. You get out of there as fast as possible. 

But now the Poch era is over. Well it'll be over after Tuesday. So go get Pep. Go get a guy who can take this group to the next level. That includes Pulisic because he's part of it all.
