Except it doesn't. No one is arguing this and with his talent it's absolutely the right call. His father's status in the US soccer history books is irrelevant.

Ummm. "With his talent". "Right call" That also says everything about the MLS.
Not sure what you're missing.

That's just a tweet to stir a pot that literally no one really stirs. Europe is absolutely where we all want our players playing because the leagues are stronger. I think that's a known fact.

I'm not missing anything. I am freaking agreeing with you. Your arguing with a non-existent antagonist.

That the MLS is in the tier below the top European leagues? Is that not already known, and not a bad thing. The quality in the games in MLS have greatly increased over the past decade, and its been sustainable growth.I Am Mine said:
Pretty sure this says a lot about the MLS versus Europe.

You can't tell your last sentence to some people. They still think this is the MLS of 20+ years ago

It's going to continue developing its quality, but as of right now there is nothing wrong with young players starting in MLS and then moving to top European leagues in my opinion.

It's not Europe vs MLS. It's BVB vs NYcFC. There are plenty teams in Europe that a NYCFC youth player should not be signing for but that's not Dortmund.

Apparently we need to slightly worry about the Dutch calling him up. This guy has been in the US youth system for a while, we need to cap him as soon as possible. It also helps that he is probably already a top 3 option at that spot.

Anyone know when the next cap tied game is?

this. It's not like elite basketball players from Europe are happy as can be to stick around playing for Hapoel Tel Aviv (or whatever) when they can get a spot on a NBA roster.OregonAggie said:

Bold not so bold prediction.
Gio Reyna breaks 2 of Pulisic's records.
Youngest to score for the USMNT and youngest American to score in the Bundasleiga.

I posted it earlier and got no response so I'll try again, is Gianluca Busio good enough to be talked about?

I'm not familiar with him. Why don't you share some info and generate a discussion?

I think I remember reading that he's been injured lately, but shows a lot of potential

I did a quick dive into him. Seems odd with his dual Italian citizenship he's in the MLS.

These guys make career decisions like anybody else. Some prioritize big money, or a chance to grow into something more while others would prefer to stay closer to home or family. People have slightly different priorities and it's a big ask to uproot and go live abroad for a lot of players.

I don't watch a ton of SKC games but I caught an early season game and thought he looked good for his age. Outside of that I don't know much, was hoping someone else who follows these younger guys closer would have some info.

I'm defiantly intrigued by him I just never hear a lot about him. Doesn't mean it's not out there.

C'mon..."can't believe with his dual heritage he's in MLS"
Your blanket discrediting of anything MLS is tiresome. You admittedly know nothing about the guy except his dual citizenship and your only thought is "why is he in MLS?"
Jeff said it best, it's not for everyone especially at that age. Wasn't for Landon Donovan. It's not always the first stop for guys who eventually shine in Europe (Tim Howard).

I just hear the biggest issue in development of the American youth is they have to wait until 18 to go to Europe.
It just surprised me someone had the opportunity and hasn't used it.
That's a great point. Thanks for pointing it out.Pahdz said:

It does suck that these guys to get the best training have to go abroad.
