Americans are on:

PSV, AC Milan, Union Berlin, Dortmund, Antwerp, Celtic?

Missing anyone?

Knew you were missing at least one. Had to dig a bit. 

Caden Clark - Salzburg.

He of course has yet to see the pitch for them but should get some minutes this season.

Damn - y'all weren't kidding. Four giants (well - three historical giants plus a huge club that has newfound Saudi money)

PSG seems down this year. I like Castle and Milan of those four - but like y'all said it could be any combination.

This group looks tough, but only one club has…

Pulisic's corners has been so bad, I don't remember it being better in the WC either. 

He's very inconsistent with his delivery from corners, with more bad than good. He just shouldn't be a teams primary corner taker. I don't watch a lot of AC Milan, but they have to have a better taker than Pulisic.

He strangely had a really strong run of games delivering on corners & free kicks in March (I think) and June. 

There was a whole lot of “Where in the fuck did that come from?” In those windows (I believe… or start of his time with AC) and I didn’t know what the fuck had gotten into the guy. 

I guess that he is returning to his natural state of sucking ass on set piece deliveries.

All is right in the world.
