Mauricio Pochettino is inheriting a USMNT side on their worst run of form in six years

Mauricio Pochettino is the new head coach of a broken team.

An apathetic United States men’s national team went through the motions of September with two below par performances against Canada (lost 2-1) and New Zealand (drew 1-1).

The pair of results completes a humiliating summer that saw the USMNT win just one of their last seven games. Yes, the USMNT have only won one game in the last four months and been outscored 12-6 in the process.

Christian Pulisic had his best club season of his career with AC Milan in the previous campaign. A Pulisic goal vs Parma on Saturday during Milan’s 2-1 defeat showed that he looks poised for another fruitful year of goals.

The Americans With The Most Goals In The History Of The Premier League (2024-25 season update)

It’s time to talk USWNT fans — Lindsey Horan needs to be benched

The United States women’s national team narrowly surpassed Japan in the Olympic quarterfinals on Saturday with a nervy 1-0 victory with several poor individual performances. USWNT captain Lindsey Horan had one of the worst showings.

The 30-year-old captain had a number of sloppy turnovers that turned into opportunities for Japan, she was far too slow on and off the ball and had a scare or two back on defense.

In the 35th minute she uncharacteristically let Japan’s Mina Tanaka spin away from her in the box to rip a shot that forced Alyssa Naeher into action.
