Ricardo Pepe isn't being hurt because he plays at PSV.

He's being hurt because he's not playing and because the guy who is playing, Fallon Balogun, from the U.S.

Men's National Team, has been scoring goals.

Because Fallon Balogun, while they ran into a rough patch in Ligue 1,

in the Champions League and other competitions, has been scoring goals.

Because he's proven right now that he combines the best with a Christian Pulisic, a Giovanni Reina, whoever's on the team.

The team just looks better right now at the moment.

So that's what's hurting him right now.

It's not PSV, because plenty of Americans have played in the ERA Divisie, called it a home, and been successful with the US Men's National Team.

And if we're holding...

Marisa Pochettino, to his words, and I think we should do that, then it shouldn't matter where you play.

It matters how you perform in the U.S.

Men's National because that's what he's been telling us.

And at least up until now, it's what he's been showing us with his selection.

Well, there is one person, but I don't know how high he's in that list, and that's Patrick Gargamel.

No, no, but that doesn't count.

I'm just saying, he happens to, Pochettino seems to enjoy him being a different type of profile.

Yeah, out of the field, Ricardo's the pure goal scorer.

He finds it.

He senses it in the box.
