'Protect This Fucking Guy Out There' - Matt Turner Knows Christian Pulisic Is Captain America, Begging Other US Players To Be Enforcers

I love this so much. This is a clip from the last window as we get ready to play Jamaica tonight. Protect this fucking guy. No kidding! I don't know how much it needs to be said but Christian Pulisic is good at soccer. He is Captain America. He's probably the best player we've ever had in American soccer, especially when you look at what he's doing at AC Milan right now. So, yeah, I don't care if we're playing Panama in a friendly like we are in this clip. Protect your fucking star. 

This is where I want Weston McKennie to be the guy. He's not afraid to stir shit up. He's not afraid to step in when he has to. We have this image of him against Mexico

Obviously we're in the Poch era now. It's about trying to make this group, which is supposed to be the Golden Generation, figure it out and advance at the World Cup. Not just get out of group stage, but actually look the part. Beat European teams, look like the best CONCACAF team by a wide margin and be a contender. It starts and ends with Pulisic. He's the key to everything because of how much he's scored or had a hand in goals for the US team. It's why, especially in CONCACAF games, teams will just hack away at him. They want to take his legs out, beat him up and try to get in his head.

Protect this fucking guy and beat Jamaica. This game actually matters because we play Jamaica in a Nations League game. It's not a friendly, it's a win that should happen on the road before playing them again on Monday. Protect Christian Pulisic.
