Tab Ramos, who appeared in three World Cups, shared his assessment of head coach Mauricio Pochettino, Christian Pulisic, and the USMNT, stating that the team fell short of expectations at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup gave the USMNT a historic advantage. However, the team couldn’t capitalize on home turf, and Tab Ramos has weighed in on how far Mauricio Pochettino and his squad fell short of expectations. During an exclusive interview with Bolavip, former U.S. midfielder Tab Ramos discussed the national team’s performance at the 2026 World Cup. He also analyzed the performances of the players, including Christian Pulisic. The three-time World Cup veteran was critical of the Stars and Stripes for failing to fulfill expectations during a once-in-a-generation opportunity on home soil. Tab Ramos critical of Mauricio Pochettino’s impact In 2024, U.S Soccer made a landmark hire by appointing Mauricio Pochettino as head coach. His top-tier European experience convinced many that better days were on the horizon, but the results failed to break new ground. Mauricio Pochettino, Head Coach of the United States. According to Ramos, Pochettino repeatedly asked fans and media to reserve judgment until the World Cup. Given Pochettino’s position as one of the world’s highest-paid international managers, merely matching the country’s standard Round of 16 exit was a disappointment. “In terms of the national team itself, I thought, in general, the national team had a good performance,” Ramos said. “I thought our first game against Paraguay was likely the best that any U.S. team has ever played at a World Cup, and I think that’s a very positive sign. However, in general, you have to judge the national team by results, and I think the results were just barely okay and really below the expectations.” Analyzing the USMNT’s World Cup performance Ramos backed his criticism with detailed tactical analysis rather than superficial claims. He pointed out that the team’s inconsistency during the tournament mirrored their form over the previous 18 months, making the early knockout departure a predictable outcome. “Well, I mean, it seems like going to the Round of 16 is the norm for our country here, regardless of the coach that we have,” he said. “And so, because we brought in Mauricio Pochettino, and he’s one of the highest-paid national team coaches in the world and obviously he has incredible experience overseas, our expectations were a little bit higher than getting to the same place we always get. “We waited for two years in the beginning of Pochettino’s era, as we didn’t get good results. He kept saying, ‘Well, we’ve got to wait for the World Cup. We have to wait for the World Cup.’ And we waited for the World Cup, but in the end, we ended up getting the same results as always. So, in general, I’d have to say this World Cup was below expectations.” The criticism toward Christian Pulisic through the eyes of Tab Ramos Christian Pulisic was among the marquee players who received the most criticism during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The AC Milan winger was unable to dominate matches to the extent fans had hoped, but Tab Ramos believes such scrutiny is entirely normal for a player of his standing. “Well, I think criticism is fair. This is what this game is about, right? I’m sure there were some people who thought that because we played well in the first-round games that the full performance was good enough. And then there’s going to be people that are going to say, ‘Well, that’s not good enough. I think we got to the same place as other World Cups.’”
Findlay Curtis is a man on mission - to be one of the best players in the Premiership this season. The 19-year-old Rangers academy graduate has played a part in all five of the club's matches so far after a successful loan stint at Kilmarnock last term preceded a couple of appearances against Haiti and Brazil at the World Cup.

In his pre-match interview on Saturday's Sportsound, you could sense Stephen Robinson had been irked by the week-long reaction to the league defeat in Dundee as he led Aberdeen into the last eight of the League Cup against the same opponents. Yes, Dundee had opportunities, but the Dons were well worth their 3-0 victory that set up a quarter-final in Kilmarnock next month. Robinson will probably be frustrated this weekend's game at Fir Park has been postponed due to Motherwell's European commitments as he tries to build momentum in the league with the Dons' next outing against Rangers on Sunday week.
The win over St Mirren will have come as a blessed relief to Derek McInnes, giving him his first victory as Rangers manager and restoring a modicum of positivity around Ibrox after a trying start to the season.
