Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 5446087, member: 1452"] I don't agree with the first part of this. Tons of national pride at the Olympics last year. I will say that I could see that with the dual nationals. Playing for a national team sounds really appealing until you are making transatlantic flights across multiple time zones for meaningless games multiple times a year. I remember that the commitments of both Fabian Johnson and Timmy Chandler waned over time. As far as our own native-born players go, players playing for higher level clubs are playing a lot of games. Pulisic played over 3600 minutes across 50 games both in 23/24 and last season. With his injury history, I don't blame him for wanting to rest his body and recover. I don't have a problem with it. He has been fully committed to the national team since day 1. [/QUOTE]
