Pochettino Confident Of US Regaining Form Before 2026 FIFA World Cup

By IANS News March 24, 2025 • 13:20 PM View: 499

FIFA World Cup: Head coach Mauricio Pochettino urged patience following the United States' 2-1 defeat to Canada, stressing there is still time to improve ahead of next year's FIFA World Cup.

After a disappointing loss to Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal on Thursday, Pochettino had called on his team to play with more urgency and take greater risks in Sunday's third-place match against Canada. However, his requests seemed unheeded as the team delivered another underwhelming performance, failing to register a single shot - on or off target - in the first 30 minutes at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.

This disappointing display adds to the frustration for the 2026 World Cup cohost, who will return to the same venue for their tournament opener on June 12 next year.
