Interesting article from ESPN in the Netherlands (in Dutch) exploring Ricardo Pepi's tactical deficiencies with defensive responsibilities at PSV. The article argues he isn't good in the press and adds to PSV's defensive vulnerabilities #USMNT https://www.espn.nl/voetbal/artikel/_/id/16518592/spits-als-eerste-verdediger-psv-blijkt-veel-kwetsbaarder-met-pepi

Mauricio Pochettino faces several tough decisions to name a squad for the 2026 World Cup hosts

The Guardian
I really want Joachim Löw to be the next #USMNT manager regardless of what he scratches and sniffs. He is a proven winner!

He could have been the #USMNT Centerback. The team's loss.

I agree with a lot of what Tab's been saying about the #USMNT this week. This window raised troubling questions about key players and coach alike.

The auditions are over. Now it’s time to project the #USMNT World Cup roster. My deep look at who I think is in and who's on the bubble, as Mauricio Pochettino prepares to make harder decisions than any he's ever made as a club manager: www.inquirer.com/soccer/usmnt... via @[email protected]

The USMNT’s World Cup auditions are over. Now it’s time to project the tournament roster.

Auston Trusty, Brenden Aaronson, Gio Reyna, and Ricardo Pepi are among the players whose stocks moved up or down in the last games before Mauricio Pochettino picks his 26 players for the big stage.

The Philadelphia Inquirer

8 years ago, the thought of the #USMNT getting grouped at their own World Cup would have made me nauseous.

Now, if it happens, I don't think I'll feel much of anything at all.

Me and @[email protected] sat down once again on @[email protected] to talk about yet another #USMNT loss – and whether Poch's dug too big a hole heading into the World Cup.
