Mauricio Pochettino is pleased with the United States men's national soccer team's development in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup, despite a recent loss in the Gold Cup final to Mexico. Key players were absent during the match, yet Pochettino remains confident about the team's evolution and ability to compete at a high level. He emphasizes the importance of building a strong mentality and creating an emotional connection with the sport as they prepare for the tournament, which is less than a year away.
"We're in a process, it's still one year from the World Cup and in a very good process, and we're happy in the way things are going."
"But I think, little by little, we're trying to evolve together and trying to understand what it means to defend and to play for a national team like the USA."
