THE BIGGER PICTURE: Dike's hot streak comes at a great time for the USMNT, with the West Brom star one of two recognized strikers in the latest 24-man squad for the Nations League. Alongside Ricardo Pepi, the upcoming matches against Grenada and El Salvador will give Dike a chance to stake his claim in a No. 9 race that is still very much on after the World Cup.
