With all the deserved hype surrounding Cristian Pulisic these days, it’s almost tempting to forget that at this time last year most of that praise was being heaped upon Jordan Morris’ potential.
It’s not that Morris’ play given much cause to lessen expectations, but he does seem to have been surpassed as the United States Soccer Savior. Maybe feeding into that has been his being left off the most recent World Cup qualifying roster.
Just in case you were worried Jurgen Klinsmann was starting to sour on Morris’ potential, he set the record straight after calling the Sounders rookie into the camp for a pair of upcoming friendlies.
