theguardian.com · 2 weeks ago

After a fun World Cup with a dismal end, the US enters the 2030 cycle with numerous avenues to rebuild the squadAfter an exciting home World Cup run ended with a disappointing thud in the last 16, there are massive questions lingering around the US men’s national team program. Mauricio Pochettino’s contract is up and US Soccer has made an extension offer, but both parties are taking some time. Matt Crocker’s abrupt exit as sporting director to take a similar job with Saudi Arabia before the World Cup begs more queries about the direction of the sport in this country. And while most of the 2026 squad’s core still projects to contend for 2030, four years is a long time.From now, each year offers a major tournament. This is what the US should hope to clarify at every step of the way. Continue reading...

Spend any time around US men’s national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino and you’ll likely notice a medallion hanging from a bracelet on his right wrist. It’s a detail that feels appropriate for Pochettino, or any high-level manager, really, all of whom are inherently nomadic. At the time, he was very much perceived as a short-term hire, an experienced, big-name coach brought in to help build excitement and ensure a respectable performance ahead of a home World Cup.

USA 1-4 Belgium: World Cup 2026 last 16 – live

⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail BeauThrough four games, Belgium have retained 57% of possession with a 65% field tilt – a possession metric weighing only final-third touches – but haven’t found a way to maximize that advantage.While possession can be a noisy statistic, viewing it in stylistic terms can be informative. So far at this World Cup, Belgium have won the possession battle in all four of their games, with Senegal playing them closest in a 52-48 split.

If Mauricio Pochettino’s side can keep the ball off Belgian feet more often than not, it could unsettle the Red Devils. Continue reading...
