I am glad they are playing better lately. Even more happy that Hoppe is a large reason for that.

My kids and I got to talk with and get pics with McKennie, Dest, and Sargent after the Canada game in Orlando last year. We asked about Schalke and his reaction showed that he loved the team but wished for better. He teased me as I was wearing my Pulisic Dortmund jersey.

My kids get a kick out of knowing that shortly after that McKennie went to Juve to play with CR, and Dest went to Barcelona to play with Messi.
