#christian pulisic 2021

[evernest]

We were honored to partner with Christian Pulisic and his foundation to bring together 2 new mini soccer pitches for Lancaster, PA. Christian hopes that through these mini soccer pitches that the children of the community will have more time and space to develop on their own, unsupervised. Throughout his travel in Europe, he noticed that many other countries utilized underused space with mini soccer pitches.

Growing up in the Hershey, PA area, Pulisic discussed with his father how he wanted to give back. They thought: Training areas. Specifically with smaller mini-soccer pitches for the players to have fun and work on their technical abilities within tight spaces.

checkmate, i couldn't lose - christian pulisic

pairing: christian pulisic x reader

author’s note: based on interview christian gave in 2021,let me know if you liked this<3

word count: 700 words

from feeling you are on top of the world to watching your loved one in the coffin,life sure is unpredictable.

it was hard to comprehend why was this happening to christian,but there was nothing either of you could’ve done to bring his grandfather back to life. it all happened so quickly,he never had a chance to say goodbye to him.

to make timing even worser,it was a week before he planned to introduce you to him. it was about time because his grandfather wanted to meet who is that girl that got him utterly infatuated. not to mention he was the first one to hear all about you. it was not a secret that christian trusted his judgment very much.

even though unfortunately he never got to meet you,he was absolutely sure that you were “the one” for christian. the way his eyes light up everytime he would even think about you,the way he could not help to smile when he was taking about you… all the signs were there.

and yet there was not a single sign that was the last time he will ever see him alive and play chess with him. you immediately knew something terribly wrong happened when u saw a tear falling from his left eye after answering his sister’s call. quiet “what’s wrong” escaped from your lips as you sat down on floor next to him.

he still couldn’t process these news and it felt like time has stopped. all he could do at that moment melt down into your embrace.

it took him a while to realize that opening up is never not something to be ashamed of. he thought he was too tough to need help and didn’t wanted to be a bother to you with his rants.

eventually, you assured him when it’s all on him,it can feel like a lot. that’s not how it should be and it won’t be as long as he has you by his side. this was the first time he broke down in tears in front of you even though he showed vulnerability before,it was nothing like this.

it felt like hours passed before he managed to say devastating news out loud. this meant your trip to his family is gonna happen sooner than you planned. too bad it was under these unfortunate circumstances.

one of the reasons he didn’t really open to anyone because he couldn’t stand “i totally understand how you feel” sentence. already prone to over-analyzing everything,this just made him feel like nobody is actually listening. somehow you knew he hated hearing that and you never used it. even when you didn’t feel whatever was bothering him on your own skin,you did understand it.

however,this time you understand from your own experience. you were very close with your grandparents as a kid. they taught you pretty much there is to learn. reading,tying your shoelaces,writing,manners…and when both of them passed away in a short period of time,it felt unreal.

him and his grandfather had their thing and it was playing chess. after the funeral,christian wanted to see his room one last time. you wanted to give him privacy to do it but he wanted you to come with him. he took your hand and gently pulled you to him. when you entered room,his look was immediately on chess board next to vinyl recorder and you started to put pieces together.

“wait,that’s why you have tattoo of chess piece?”

“one of reasons,yeah. he taught me how to play when i was younger,but i am nowhere near level.”

“i didn’t even know you knew how to play it.”

“i guess i never mentioned it,but me and kante sometimes play it on plane. we always have good battles but it’s hard to beat him.”

“i’m here if you wanna feel like beth from queen’s gambit. absolutely clueless about how any of this is working.”

“hm,i think out of all people you would understand it. “

“why?”

“he used to say that life is like chess because it consists of very limited number of moves. you need to make good use of them and create your own opportunities-just like i did with you.”

“well whatever you did is definitely working on me.”

“checkmate,i couldn’t lose.”

[masochistartt]

i don’t follow football what happened with chelsea?

okay strap in bc this chelsea season has been. definitely. Something!!

let's start with last season as a little catch up. chelsea (one of the 6 biggest clubs in the premier league) finished twelfth on the table (out of 20). it was their first season under new ownership, and they went through four (4) managers in the 38-game season. finishing in twelfth made it the club's lowest season since 1993-94, where they finished 14th. because of their 12th place finish, this (23/24, current season) is the first season since 2016-17 that they didn't compete in europe (champions league, europa league, europa conference league).

so. not a great year for the boys in blue.

this summer. chelsea spent ~£435 million on new players. that's the most a single club has ever spent during a single transfer window in premier league history. these transfers included moises caicedo (a defensive midfielder from brighton for £100 million (plus bonuses)), nicolas jackson (a striker from villarreal for £32 million), christopher nkunku (a striker from rb leipzig for £52 million), and cole palmer (an attacking midfielder from manchester city for £40 million plus bonuses) (more on this later.)

transfers out included césar azpilicueta, a defender who was their captain since 2019 (who lead them to winning the champions league in 2021), mateo kovačić, mason mount, kai havertz, and christian pulisic (all champions league winners, all played in the final in 2021, havertz scoring the only goal in the game)

these new transfers in are all young. of the 12 new signings, two were born in 1997 one was born in 1998 and one was born in 1999, but the rest are 2000s babies (2 in '01, 1 in '02, 4 in '04, and 1 in '05). so there's a severe lack of experience on this team (ben chilwell is 27, raheem sterling is 29, and thiago silva is 39 – 12 of their 29 players are u21). the average age on the team is 23 (their goalies are the oldest at 27 on average, defenders at 24, midfielders at 21, and forwards at 22).

because azpilicueta left the club, you need a new captain. they found theirs in chelsea academy boy reece james, a 24-year-old defender. his vice captains are ben chilwell, the 27-year-old left back signed from leicester city in 2020, conor gallagher, a 24-year-old central midfielder also from chelsea's academy, and thiago silva, the 39-year-old signed from psg in 2020.

and because of the managerial disasters of last season, they need a new manager. they bring on mauricio pochettino, former manager of spurs and psg (where he lead the team to the ligue 1 title).

welcome to chelsea. let's start the season.

their first match was at home against liverpool. liverpool scored first, in the 18th minute, but chelsea tied it up before the half, the first goal from new signee axel disasi. the second half is mostly uneventful, but oops, captain reece james has to be substituted off with a hamstring injury. he is now out until october (it is august).

their next match is away against west ham. ben chilwell takes the captain's armband. it's the 7th minute. west ham scores. chelsea pulls one back in the 28th minute, 1 all. west ham picks up three yellow cards in the first half. in the second half, west ham scores again. then, the hammers go down a man for a second yellow card, chelsea is now playing 11 against 10. they cannot turn it around. not only do they not turn it around, they concede another goal. chelsea loses 3-1. it is week 2 of the premier league season, and chelsea is fifteenth on the table.

they beat newly promoted luton town week 3 and rise to 10th place.

meanwhile, chelsea is competing in the league cup. that's going well so far - a 2-1 win against fourth tier afc wimbledon (phil dunster's team!) in august right after beating luton town - maybe things are turning around! (things are not turning around.)

then they face a loss, a draw, and another loss to nottingham forest, bournemouth, and aston villa (a game in which malo gusto picks up a straight red card and is now unable to play the next few games).

let's... let's check in on the league cup. we need something good for these boys after this hell they've faced in september. they've drawn fellow premiership club brighton & hove albion at home in the third round. they win! 1-0, thanks to a goal in the 50th minute from new signee nicolas jackson. but in the 7th minute of stoppage time at the end of the game, ben chilwell (their captain, with reece james still out injured), is fouled and has to come off with a hamstring injury. but also oops, chelsea's already used all their substitution windows - they have to finish the game with 10 men. luckily, they see it out and move on to the next round.

reece james is still injured. ben chilwell is now injured. conor gallagher, time to step up.

happy october, chelsea. their first two premier league draws of the month are against fulham (who finished 10th on the table in 22/23) and newly promoted burnley. chelsea win both. they are 11th on the table after both results. and! reece james is back! they draw 2-2 at home against arsenal, and rise to 10th on the table. their last match in october is against brentford, who finished 9th on the table last season, and were 13th going into this match. they lose 0-2.

november starts big with a league cup win against championship side blackburn and a 1-4 win at tottenham (all four goals are scored by new signees - a penalty from cole palmer, and a hat trick from nicolas jackson) after the win against tottenham, they are taking slutty, slutty locker room pictures.

let's pause here to talk about fouls, yeah? chelsea has not gone a single game this season without picking up a booking. 1 is the minimum so far, against brentford, 2 against luton, and the rest have had 3+. they have been booked with 35 yellow cards and one red card as of week eleven of the premier league season.

november ends with a draw against manchester city (10th on the table, 22 points, 5 more yellow cards), a loss to newcastle (10th on the table, 22 points, 5 yellow cards & a 6th that becomes a red card for reece james).

december - a win against brighton (10th on the table, 25 points, 4 yellow cards & a 5th that becomes a red card for conor gallagher before halftime) and then two losses in a row (a 2-1 loss at manchester united - chelsea's first league game of the season without a booking. cole palmer scores the only goal - and then a 2-0 loss at everton that drops them to 12th on the table, 2 more bookings. reece james is injured again and has to get surgery for his hamstring). they win against newly promoted, bottom of the table sheffield united (with another booking), and return to tenth on the table.

league cup break! they draw newcastle united 1-1 in the quarterfinals. the game goes to penalties. chelsea wins 4-2 on penalties. four more yellow cards are picked up in this game. chelsea moves on to play middlesbrough in the two-legged semifinals in january. we'll return to this.

back to the prem.

on christmas eve, they play away at wolves and lose 2-1. christopher nkunku scores in the 96th minute. chelsea picks up 6 more yellow cards.

they end 2023 and start 2024 on a three game winning streak (against crystal palace, luton town, and fulham). in these three games, they pick up 3, 2, and 5 yellow cards. after the win against fulham, they raise to 9th on the table, the highest they've been all season.

they lose spectacularly to liverpool to end january, 4-1, picking up 4 yellow cards in the process. this drops them back to 10th on the table.

meanwhile, they've played both legs of that league cup semifinal i mentioned, winning 6-2 on aggregate. chelsea's going to the final! maybe they will win a trophy this season! who're they playing in that final at the end of february? oh. oh, it's liverpool? okay.

the fa cup's going on now too ! they beat championship side preston north end 4-0, and then draw aston villa 0-0 at home - this will go to a replay the first week of february. only one yellow card across these two games, well done, chelsea.

first they've got a prem match to play against wolves. they allow wolves player matheus cunha to score a hat trick on them. oops. final result 2-4, 3 more yellow cards, 11th on the table with a goal difference of -1 (they've let 1 more goal past them than they've scored all season).

i know what you're saying. chelsea needs a good run here. and they get it! after losing to wolves, they don't lose another premier league game until today, april 23. we will get back to this. they win against crystal palace, newcastle united, manchester united, and everton (the everton game, they win 6-0. we will get back to this.) they draw against manchester city, brentford, and sheffield united (you know, the bottom of the table team who has no chance of staying in the prem next year).

they also win their fa cup ties against aston villa (replay) and championship sides leeds united and leicester city. they face manchester city in the semi finals. they lose. they also lose that league cup final to liverpool. a trophyless season for chelsea. they also still haven't figured out that premier league yellow card problem.

so let's talk about The Everton Game. cole palmer scored his second hat trick in two games and this one's brilliant. seriously watch the highlights it's amazing. chelsea is awarded a penalty in the 64th minute. all hell breaks loose on that pitch, roy kent vs jamie tartt style. here's a clip. for context, madueke was the one fouled for the penalty, palmer is the designated penalty taker. pochettino clearly hadn't made that clear to his players. you cannot fight on the pitch like that. you. you just.... you can't do that. palmer takes the penalty, his fourth goal of the night, he is in the golden boot (top scorer in the league) race.

what happened today, then? chelsea gets absolutely spanked 5-0 at arsenal. palmer was not playing today - he's sick. kai havertz who left chelsea for arsenal this summer scored 2. here's a sign a child held up in the crowd today. they're currently 9th on the table after 32 of 38 games have been played. the state of the club is a disaster. i'm genuinely intrigued to see what happens next year because.....it can't go on like this.

cole palmer leads the club in goals, assists, chances created, shots per game, key passes, through balls per game, xg, motm awards, & penalties.

thiago silva is leaving this summer.

nothing else is known. chelsea goes to aston villa on saturday. the league continues.

Sky poses (2023-24)

Well, I gave up on looking at these last season because the men's team was so depressing, but it is a new season, so...

What an odd photo of Poch. It's like his face is half round, half square.

Nice GK kit.

Love how clean the kit looks with no sponsor.

Why did they use last year's photo of blond Enzo? I mean, that's clearly a new photo of Conor Gallagher.

With Christian Pulisic gone, Raheem Sterling is now the player Sky wants us to know is short.

Nicolas Jackson, no notes.

From gossip monger insta

https://www.instagram.com/p/CwGCoHft6jx/

Last post for Laila H!

(she isn't really an F1 wag, but she seems to carry around a lot of gossip with her 💀)

It appears that she may have had something going on with Lando Norris, prior to Mick. He was incessantly liking her pics and they'd met up in AD in 2021, where he gave her a signed McLaren cap that she posted on her Instagram. At the time, she was still with her ex so nothing really could've happened with Lando. But he was absolutely obsessed with her, constantly talking about Denmark, travelling there a lot for 'no reason', playing GeoGuessr and going off about the country, making remarks about 'being in love' at the same time that he started following her and her private account(people were saying that she was following LNs private account until Mick went social media official with her). Max Verstappen was also liking some of her pictures but I assume that it's because Lando told him about her and he was playing the role of the 'supportive bestie'. Logan Sargeant seems to also have rumors with her, but he's into blondes in general, so not really that surprising.

Laila made an appearance at the 2022 Monaco GP where she zoomed in on his car at hairpin

-Along with these F1 drivers, she's rumored to have had a threesome with Bendtner and her friend Madeleine, trysts with Christian Pulisic and Adam Horowitz, a sugar baby/daddy relationship with Remee Jackman, the same thing with a German/Italian man, several other random rumored hookups and she has officially dated Boris Laursen, Jonas Wind and Alvaro Gellings in the past

I've also included a set of pictures of some ✨interesting✨ pictures and some still frames from a very p*rnesque video I found on Reddit of Laila. We brought up old pictures of Rebecca where she was looking 'scandalous' so here's some F1 wag equality. Everyone gets the same treatment here!

That's it for Laila, she seems to have a cute relationship with Mick right now, so let's see where that goes. With that said everyone has a part in this, if she's selling something, people are clearly also buying into it. They build her a platform on the internet and then call her 'immoral', thats unfair 😭 + these are just rumors, not facts

United States: 2024 CONCACAF Nations League Champions

ARLINGTON, Texas – Tyler Adams and Gio Reyna each struck for goals to help the United States complete a Concacaf Nations League three-peat in a 2-0 victory against Mexico in the Final of 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League Finals on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Adams scored right before halftime with a wondergoal from long-distance, while Reyna fired in a strike midway through the second half to account for the night’s scoring.

The U.S. have now won all three editions of the Concacaf Nations League, having defeated their long-time rivals for the second time in the Final (2021).

A scintillating environment greeted the two teams and the intensity started from the beginning, with Christian Pulisic getting denied by Mexico GK Guillermo Ochoa in 5’.

Mexico countered by applying more pressure in the U.S. half and one of the best chances of the first half came for the Mexicans in the 22’ when a flicked-on header reached the feet of Luis Chavez, who sent a shot straight to U.S. GK Matt Turner.

The U.S. started to try their luck from distance and some fancy moves from Sergino Dest set up a shot that sailed just over the crossbar in the 38’.

The next attempt, though, from long-range could not have been better, as Tyler Adams hammered a right-footed shot into the top left side of net from 35 yards out to hand the U.S. a 1-0 lead right before halftime.

Mexico looked to respond to start the second half, but it was tough sledding against a resolute U.S. defense.

Instead, the U.S. asserted their control more in the 63’ when an initial clearance from the Mexican defense fell to Gio Reyna, who fired into net at the near post past Guillermo Ochoa for a 2-0 U.S. advantage.

As time continued to tick away, Mexico committed more numbers forward and increased the pressure in search of a goal, but the U.S. defense never wavered and confidently saw things out until the final whistle to earn the crown once again.

PUMA Signs USMNT Star Weston McKennie

PUMA, the global sports company, has exciting news to share: they've signed United States Men’s National team and Juventus star, Weston McKennie. McKennie, a talented midfielder, is joining PUMA’s roster of exceptional soccer players as one of the fresh faces of the FUTURE silo.

Hailing from Texas, McKennie's soccer journey began at FC Dallas’ youth academy, where he quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his remarkable talent. Since making his senior debut for the USMNT in 2017, McKennie has played a crucial role in the team's victories in the CONCACAF Nations League in 2021 and 2023. He was also honored with the U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year award in 2020. Joining Juventus permanently for the 20-21 season, McKennie contributed significantly to the club's triumph in the 2020–21 Coppa Italia, making history as the first U.S. international to play in and win the Italian competition.

"We are delighted to welcome Weston McKennie to the PUMA family," said Allison Giorgio, Vice President Marketing at PUMA North America. "Weston's versatility and exceptional skills on the pitch have led to incredible wins throughout his career. We look forward to supporting Weston on the field and working together to further grow the sport in North America while also supporting his personal passions and causes off the field."

McKennie is renowned for his versatility on the field and his influence in style and fashion off the field. He admires PUMA's design and innovation in both performance and lifestyle categories.

"I am thrilled to join PUMA, a brand that has been at the forefront of innovation in the sport for over 60 years, ensuring athletes have the best products to perform at their peak," said Weston McKennie. "I have been wearing the FUTURE boot for the past few months and am confident that I will achieve new heights alongside PUMA. I'm also looking forward to joining my fellow USMNT teammates and friends, Christian and Yunus, as we prepare for the 2024 COPA América. Off the field, I'm eager to explore PUMA's ability to blend culture and sports."

Just in time for the 2024 COPA América, McKennie will team up with USMNT teammates and PUMA athletes Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah this summer. In 2023, PUMA announced a multi-year partnership with governing body CONMEBOL and sponsorship of COPA América, among other key tournaments. Stay tuned for more updates on McKennie's journey with PUMA as they conquer the pitch together.
