WEEKEND WRAP: Sunday 4/17/2016 Features (video) Bobby Wood/ Christian Pulisic Goals - Old Firm Excitement

So after yesterday's big action day - what could top that?  Well how's about Christian Pulisic's first pro goal for Dortmund? or Bobby Wood's 17th of the season? or the first Old Firm derby,for what seems an age,  with  something on the line (Scottish FA Cup)? is it a preview of the great rivalry to come next season? or Nermin Crnkic, the young (23) US/Bosnian dual getting a goal and an assist for Slovan Bratislava? Today we had 21 Americans playing in 12 country's.....
