Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure as the US men's national team manager is under scrutiny following two defeats in the Concacaf Nations League finals. The US lost to Panama 1-0 and Canada 2-1, showcasing issues such as poor passing, defensive errors, and a lack of intensity that alarm fans. Empty seats at SoFi Stadium during the games reflected a subdued atmosphere, undermining the spirit of competition. Critics might attribute these results to an array of failures, from tactical missteps to insufficient team support, raising concerns about the team's readiness for upcoming challenges.
Following a second competitive loss in four days in the Concacaf Nations League finals, it was hard to pinpoint where to lay the blame for a dispiriting international window for the USA.
The Americans had a late flurry of chances for the equalizer, but their northern neighbors had produced the better chances, executed the better game plan and mustered the superior intensity.
