Herc Gomez explains which top European teams Lille forward Jonathan David would fit into. (edited)
Herc Gomez believes that people are seeing the real Weston McKennie after a great season so far with Juventus for the USMNT.
Herc Gomez believes that Christian Pulisic's injury "has come at a good time" because the AC Milan player won't miss any major games.
U.S. midfielder Christian Pulisic has a torn muscle in his right calf, AC Milan said on Monday following an MRI, and he could be out until January.
Herculez Gomez talks about Ricardo Pepi's form and what that means for him at the USMNT.
