I wanted Pulusic on Croatia for selfish reasons obviously, but I definitely respect his decision. He is American.
Playing for a European side gets you more exposure and could potentially lead to more money with a big club. I feel like most of today's Croatia players got their big club transfers/money after solid performances with the national side.
He's with Dortmund now, but there are wealthier and even more corrupt owners in Europe who want to throw their money away after being dazzled at a Euro or WC. Always chasing the next shiny new toy.
