Welcome to USMNT-WICLE, The Only Show on This Network. Welcome to USMNT Weekly, the only show on this network where we take a weekly look at the USMNT.

Today, we're looking into the knock-on effect of Ricardo Pepi's potentially season-ending injury.

We're taking a look at some of the breakthrough stars on the periphery of the national team set up, and we're highlighting the MLS teams that national team fans need to play close attention to this season.

My name's Ryan Bailey, a full complement of TSS stars in the house today, including but not limited to Taylor Rockwell.

Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan Bailey. I am here physically, mentally, like 50% here. The kids are home. Once again, we've lost power for chunks of the morning. It's been a day, and it's 10 a.m. Oh, wow. It sounds very the revenant what you're describing, Taylor. Yeah. I was mauled by a grizzly bear earlier today when I went outside to drink coffee. So, yes, in that way, very similar. That explains the whole vibe in love. Did you sleep inside an animal carcass last night? I just do that generally. Yeah, I thought so. Very good. All right. Probably not as much snow. Where Joe Lowry is. You don't get that Lisa mattress? mattress now it's Lisa mattress with a bear stuffed

I was just about to say I'm wondering if Taylor sleeping inside of animal carcasses impacts his ad

reads at all at any point in time for some sponsors on the show I'm sure they're lovely and

comfortable and made of the finest quality by our lovely friends at various companies yeah does

the animal carcass combined down into a small box for delivery purposes, though, Taylor? Well, the amazing thing is when you slice up in that plastic, right, and it just starts to expand. That's just unbelievable. Technology is crazy. Oh, wow. What a term we've taken already. Graham Rubbins here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. I sleep on a bed of rocks which by scottish standards is

luxurious actually uh graham's gosh are you under a bridge uh do you ask people whether or not they

can pass when you uh are you painting me as some kind of like stick of the dump character here a troll

what yeah i'd go the i go the other way i'm just going to sidestep stick of the dump uh and here. A troll. What? Yeah. A troll, yeah. I'd go the other way.

I'm just going to side step stick of the dump.

And I'm going to say Graham has like the, like the, I feel like he's the one who embraces technology the most of the four of us and is always trying to think. So I'm seeing it more as like he has a bed that is made of stone, but it's like ergonomic stone that's smoothed and designed to fit the like contours of your back.

And actually makes you four inches taller over the course of a calendar. Exactly. Joe gets it. I definitely, when moving into this new house and buying a new bed, definitely didn't look at app controlled sleep pods, which was $4,000, yeah, when I saw the price, I backed away. But I considered it until I saw that price.

You could not pay me to sleep in one of those.

No, because I doubt anything behind it, but just because I don't need the flashing red lights of, like, you are not sleeping enough, everything is bad over and over again.

That would not be fun for me. Graham, Graham, I'm kind of worried about you, pal.

I'm a little.

I'm a little.

Not a lot, just a little.
