U.S. Men's National Team forward Ricardo Pepi has opened up on the team's future stars, his talks with Mauricio Pochettino, and more ahead of the next international break

Pepi, 23, was subbed off with an injury early in PSV Eindhoven’s match against FC Twente.

The Dutch legend branded the American striker’s static performance "justified" grounds for substitution as the Eredivisie side struggled to break down a resilient Shakhtar Donetsk defense.

The United States have reached the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, setting up a showdown with Belgium in Seattle on Monday. They will have to find a way around the suspension to Folarin Balogun if they are to win.
