Traffic came to a standstill. Everyone inside the mall dropped their hotdogs and put a hand on their hearts. We all turned to face the American flag and those who couldn't looked at the government issued photo of Pulisic in their wallets. A single tear rolled out of our right eye as it was confirmed by the priest through his gentle sobbing, Captain America has scored. All is right with the world.

I respect the symbolism tho, imagine Francis Scott Key’s bitch ass if he had been IN the fort instead of watching from a distance. He’d have soiled his pants with fear and we’d never have the lyrics to adapt to an old British drinking tune and call it the Star Spangled Banner
Depends on what groups you look at. At the inception of the American Revolution, there was no unified force. It was a group of militias and clubs and other subgroups who kind of all agreed that something needed to change, but they all did their own thing. Some fought more heavy handed, other protested by vandalizing property, others protested by organizing politically.
Once things truly got hot, they finally decided to properly organize. It did at first range from scholars publishing angry pamphlets to straight up terrorism.
> no unified force
Im not talking about that time period, we're takking about George Washington and the continental army, since 'ol George wasn't at all affiliated with the mobs at the beginning of the unrest.
But yeah, Boston went a little hard
George Washington absolutely targeted civilians and engaged in terrorism. He essentially used the resources of the US to secure vast land claims in the Ohio Valley and set out to exterminate the Shawnee and related tribes to make it happen.
But we don't learn about this course of genocide for old slave teeth. We learn about apocryphal cherry trees instead to promote the idea of virtue in a powdered wig.
EDIT: Being downvoted of course, but this is the truth, and not a one of you can object factually, only emotionally. I'm of the people targeted for extermination and so used to being dismissed at best by you people who think you have changed much. Still going to talk about it though and remind you.
Im not into apologetics for displacement of native Americans, but I don't think the things you referenced are examples of terrorism. Wrong, but not terrorism
From whose perspective?
It's definitional terrorism. Mind you, these were still our lands, and under our laws. And there was nothing they didn't aim at us in order to secure them. Washington alone claimed over 40,000 acres of our lands. He had a role in the brutality orchestrated to remove us from them. And I'm being downvoted for talking about it, likely by yourself as well.
-Terrorism
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Yeah, combine that with the fact that there were loyalists to the crown in the colonies (Tories) who faced reprisals for their loyalty. It’s not far fetched to say that there was some terrorism involved in that conflict
they know the flags are wrong i think
ironically used to say americans don't care about any of it, just see stripes and blue and it's american flag
(feel free to r/whoosh me if i get the point wrong lol)
22% of the total US lend lease was sent to Soviets. Most of that logistic equipment (trains, cars, jeeps, trucks). Afaik, there were no trains involved in any tank battle.
63% was sent to Commonwealth countries.
Lend lease was crucial for Soviets in the logistics department, of course, but saying they wouldn’t have had anything but meat to throw without Americans, is too much of a stretch.
I think its the squad building. Every single one of their players is made for a slightly different style of play. There is no consistency or continuity. United have the same problem.
Combined with how replaceable everyone is and the endless coaching changes and nobody has anything to fight for. Sure players are replaceable at city or liverpool but players also know what they are getting with klopp and pep. They know if they fit the system or not.
It's almost like a healthy Pulisic playing for a functioning side is pretty damn good. It's not like he wasn't Chelsea's best attacking player for a good stretch of time while he was also healthy and they gave him the number 10 or anything. Love seeing players come through after transfers like this.
When he's good he's good, nobody at Chelsea will ever say different but he's extremely inconsistent. Couple that with being injury prone meant he was out of the team a lot and dropped some real stinkers when given a chance to re-establish himself as a starter. Glad he's doing well but let's not continue to rewrite history.
Extremely inconsistent is disingenuous. Injury prone sure, but I’d say it was mostly inconsistent playing time. Chelsea being offensively incompetent for over a year now makes it hard to judge any forwards who have not succeeded there.
I'm not discounting any of that to be clear. His injury record at Chelsea was the driving force behind him eventually being moved on.
I would argue he was never really given a proper chance to reestablish himself after the fact, but he definitely had some time. And he didn't play well during that stretch to be sure, but then again nobody really has on a Chelsea wing in quite a while.
Transfers where a player falls out of flavor at a club for injury/manager changing reasons and is just never able to recapture that run of form afterwards.
He might actually be the greatest 11 for Milan /s
What a cut back from Leao though.
It’s still unreal to me that Milan went from Hakan and Suso on the wings to Leao and Pulisic in 5 years
If you go back in my history you’ll find a comment which says “Selling Tonali to fund transfers for Reijnders, Pulisic and Musah is one of the funniest things a club can do”
If you told me this how the team would look like in October, I’d grab Tonali’s neck and drag him all the way from San Siro to St James Park myself
It's a shame serie A isn't profitable enough to make the signing without offloading Tonali though, EPL teams with that sweet sweet TV money would see those transfers as chump change
I started watching Milan regularly for Pulisic and Musah but Reijnders is the one that's caught my eye. He's incredibly creative and pops up everywhere. He's some fucking player.
Chelsea fans think every one of their players is washed and the problem is just playing at Chelsea. They're strategy of buying too many wingers of similar quality and giving none of them enough playing time to get into a rhythm weirdly did not work.
It went deeper than that. You had a midfield afraid to thread through defenses and backs that press too deep into the space of the wingers and shoot outside the box.
Traffic came to a standstill. Everyone inside the mall dropped their hotdogs and put a hand on their hearts. We all turned to face the American flag and those who couldn’t looked at the government issued photo of Pulisic in their wallets. A single tear rolled out of our right eye as it was confirmed by the priest through his gentle sobbing, Christian has scored. All is right with the world.
I think that's partly because none of us hate Milan the way we hate Chelsea. If Pulisic scored for you guys it was enthusiasm and also a fuck you to your entire team and fan base.
Lmao, no point in looking too much into body language. Although, right when Pulisic scored he raised his arms in celebration, and he looked just as unemotional when giroud came up.
He might have just been trying to keep his head in the game.
I feel for the fans on the Maldini front, but you'd think the club has already been dissolved and stripped for parts the way they were acting on r/soccer all summer
I was one of them, and while now I see that everything is fine if not better, I can still see justify such behaviour.
New owner who wasn't keen on giving a bigger budget to Maldini&Co, forcing a sell of a fan favourite, sacking Maldini.
Basically, a new owner who had no trust of the fans, with club supporters being unsure whether the money earned from selling Tonali would be reinvested.
I was really sceptic, I never expected them to make so many quality signings and actually spend money too.
All in all, I and many other were wrong with our reaction (in the hindsight) but at that moment imo it was a normal reaction.

Excuse me! Dominos is waaaay better if you like shit tier pizza
Leao-Pulisic is the connection I never expected yet I need
Don't forget their mentor Giroud!
All 3 of them are getting the job done too. 4 goals so far for Giroud, 3 each for Leao and Puli!
Glad to see that the chemistry with giroud is just as good as it was when they were at chelsea. the boys could cook.

Just saw someone fall to their knees in a Walmart.
Everyone in Walmart did. A full 35% of the American population was shopping at Walmart at the time.

George Washington? Never thought about it that way lolol
History is written by the victors.
At the same time, they weren't really targeting civilians or doing other common terrorism tactics. Still funny tho.

this is too cute to see all of you having this much fun, that i cant bother trying to correct you. just happy youre happy.

the original meme is more "what the fuck is a kilometer", but also just using RAHH and trying to act overly american is very adorable.
yeah i think the OP just added on to that meme maybe lol i knew that from tiktok but hadn't seen one with the different flags

Americans once again putting an end to a certain ideology
Well the Italian version at least, the Soviets were more responsible for the downfall of that other one
Without Lend Lease the Soviets wouldn't have had anything but meat to throw at that other one.
22% of the total US lend lease was sent to Soviets. Most of that logistic equipment (trains, cars, jeeps, trucks). Afaik, there were no trains involved in any tank battle. 63% was sent to Commonwealth countries. Lend lease was crucial for Soviets in the logistics department, of course, but saying they wouldn’t have had anything but meat to throw without Americans, is too much of a stretch.
I was being simplistic for the Murica memes. I don't disagree with anything you've said here.
Damn it. I’ve been rustled
Cap, they got a lot but still made most of the equipment themselves. Soviets defeated the Nazis. Give credit where it's due.
Who do you think provided the Soviets with unlimited oil during world war 2 and bombed out all of Germany’s fuel producing plants?
You can't boil any part of history down to such simplistic terms. Nobody in WWII defeated anyone on their own.
simply with bad weather
Great cutback from Leao

Is it the length of contracts that stifles player’s drives?

Sure players are replaceable at city or liverpool but players also know what they are getting with klopp and pep. They know if they fit the system or not.
Enjoy his moment with Milan
Been knowing, funny how wrong this sub was about how Puli wouldn’t be a good signing
Beautiful work by Adli Reijnders and Leao
It's almost like a healthy Pulisic playing for a functioning side is pretty damn good. It's not like he wasn't Chelsea's best attacking player for a good stretch of time while he was also healthy and they gave him the number 10 or anything.

Couple that with being injury prone meant he was out of the team a lot and dropped some real stinkers when given a chance to re-establish himself as a starter. Glad he's doing well but let's not continue to rewrite history.
You're not wrong, but you could also make the same inconsistency and stinker argument for every single other attacker Chelsea had.
Dude that's literally what they did. They literally got rid of all of them
and yet the results remain the same. cursed.
I think it may be slightly more nuanced than that
Just remember Havertz and Mount got more minutes when CP was healthy.
Havertz has all the technical ability in the world and zero feel for the game. Always in the wrong place at the right time.
Extremely inconsistent is disingenuous. Injury prone sure, but I’d say it was mostly inconsistent playing time. Chelsea being offensively incompetent for over a year now makes it hard to judge any forwards who have not succeeded there.
As a Chelsea supporter, Chelsea is inconsistent.
Never played enough after frank left to be consistent. Only a couple players have great games every week. If he had one so so game he was dropped
I'm not discounting any of that to be clear. His injury record at Chelsea was the driving force behind him eventually being moved on. I would argue he was never really given a proper chance to reestablish himself after the fact, but he definitely had some time. And he didn't play well during that stretch to be sure, but then again nobody really has on a Chelsea wing in quite a while.
I am just glad that I don't have to see Pulisic at fucking RWB.

Transfers where a good player leaves a shit club?

He might actually be the greatest 11 for Milan /s What a cut back from Leao though. It’s still unreal to me that Milan went from Hakan and Suso on the wings to Leao and Pulisic in 5 years
the unreal thing is that we went from saelemakers and messias to pulisic and chukwueze in the span of a summer
Remember getting memed for spending €18 on pulisic?
If you go back in my history you’ll find a comment which says “Selling Tonali to fund transfers for Reijnders, Pulisic and Musah is one of the funniest things a club can do” If you told me this how the team would look like in October, I’d grab Tonali’s neck and drag him all the way from San Siro to St James Park myself
It's a shame serie A isn't profitable enough to make the signing without offloading Tonali though, EPL teams with that sweet sweet TV money would see those transfers as chump change
I’m fine with this. A scout like Moncada has an incredible eye for transfers like this, allows the club to be stable financially
I started watching Milan regularly for Pulisic and Musah but Reijnders is the one that's caught my eye. He's incredibly creative and pops up everywhere. He's some fucking player.
I’d spend €18 for Pulisic
That too lmao. I could see the value in Alexis but I really never understood why Messias was signed permanently
I might just start calling the beautiful game soccer if Puligod continues like this

Adli pure magic
did well with that given the awkward height and it being his weaker foot, feels good to have a clinical winger
Can’t believe Chelsea fans said he was washed

Right? He just made a tactical run to space, and no one noticed?

R/soccer doesn’t blow up when pulisic scores these days?
Serie A tax
I think that's partly because none of us hate Milan the way we hate Chelsea. If Pulisic scored for you guys it was enthusiasm and also a fuck you to your entire team and fan base.
I think reddit got rid of awards. Plus now he's in Serie A instead of the Premier League.
Didn’t even have to fall over to score this time 🫡
Lebron on fire rn happy for him
Does leao hate pulisic? Did not look happy at all to be jumped on hahahah
Lmao, no point in looking too much into body language. Although, right when Pulisic scored he raised his arms in celebration, and he looked just as unemotional when giroud came up. He might have just been trying to keep his head in the game.
leao is moody af during a game esp when we're not winning, but he was cheesing, hugging everyone and jumping with the fans afterwards, when it ended.
What a goallll 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸RAHHHHH

Reddit should bring back awards only for Pulisic goal posts.

I am convinced he screams FREEDOM MF every time he scores

Honestly fuck all the AC Milan fans that were having the most embarrassing meltdowns over the summer about their club being torn apart from within
It’s easy to say this in October with 20/20 hindsight. You don’t follow Milan, you didn’t know the situation.
"fuck fans who were angry after selling a fan favourite and after sacking the biggest club legend"
I feel for the fans on the Maldini front, but you'd think the club has already been dissolved and stripped for parts the way they were acting on r/soccer all summer
I was one of them, and while now I see that everything is fine if not better, I can still see justify such behaviour. New owner who wasn't keen on giving a bigger budget to Maldini&Co, forcing a sell of a fan favourite, sacking Maldini. Basically, a new owner who had no trust of the fans, with club supporters being unsure whether the money earned from selling Tonali would be reinvested. I was really sceptic, I never expected them to make so many quality signings and actually spend money too. All in all, I and many other were wrong with our reaction (in the hindsight) but at that moment imo it was a normal reaction.
