Hi, I'm Lindsay Graham, the host of Wondry's American History Tellers. In our latest series, we tell the stories of four presidential assassins and their targets.

Exploring how a single act of violence can change the course of history. Listen to American History Tellers on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is Rebecca Loe or Rebecca Loe. If you listen to suboptimal radio and you are listening to many Blazers on the NBC Scores Network.

It's Friday and the smokers. Well, it's barely cleared on last night's USA 2. You're making ill victory.

And our eyes have seen the future. Ricardo Pepe, the 18-year-old potent gold machine from El Paso, Texas. My lord, I would love to go to El Paso, Texas.

Ah, the gen that was being the revelation of the US men's national team will cut qualifying journey so far.

That two-goal night of wonder against the reggae boys. We will discuss more about the prodigy to come. But let's listen to that 49th minute. Oh, magic.

Musa.

Yes, US have numbers here and Ricardo Pepe, the prodigy strikes again. Machiabe on his ears. Play two, score two.

A flying star to what may prove to be a clittering international career.

Oh, here's what I loved so very much about this moment. Yes, the goal, that flick rising up. Actually, a hard finish, which you made look easy to nod in the United States opening goal.

I loved that he then charged away and kissed the United States badge before a delirious hometown Texas crowd. Yes, I know, I know.

Kissing the club badge in the Premier League is a derided, cliché, empty pantomime often carried out by mercenary players to give fans a fleeting sugar high. But a national level.

A national level for a kid who grew up alongside the Rio Grande with deep roots on both sides of the border. It was a truly significant gesture, a beautiful moment.

One where US soccer fans have craved for so long on so many levels. I mean, how long have we yearned for a true number nine?

How long has the American men's game cried out for a Mexican American face?

Above all, on a human level, when Peppy pledged a play for the US back in August, choosing to pull an AUS jersey in place of a Mexican one.

He tweeted, this country has given me and my family a home and endless possibilities to achieve my dreams. It's lifted me up and show me when you work hard, you will be rewarded.

So to watch Peppy live that out now and more with the world watching was humanly simply magical.

And I highly recommend reading a proof of a Peppy that was on ESPN.com written by Roberto Jose Andrade Frank, which includes some beautiful lines.

Franco wrote, when you were the child of immigrant parents, you often feel as if you've got to make their struggles and sacrifices count for something.
