I played rec soccer as a kid. I may not always agree with the officiating, but I know excellent play when I see it. Even if I support the Union, who, more often than not, fall apart when it counts. (Or never really get started.) We're die-hard fans, though, seeing as how they're the first professional team we ever took DD to see play.
I got DH an official Pulisic t-shirt for Christmas. Around here, if people are wearing soccer gear, it's still usually Messi or Ronaldo, so DH's shirt is often a conversation-starter when he's out and about.
Pulisic is poetry in motion. I'm also fond of Altidore. And, yes, the Union's own Ale Bedoya.
On the women's side, I love Ertz, Lloyd, Rapinoe, and Krieger.
