@@cfofly the alternative was to go with GGG or cherundulo. Vieira and matarazzo would have been upgrades but not exciting. If he signs officially tomorrow, then none of this shit matters.
@@stanleed.harold5457 I want to see a clean slate, the past doesn't matter anymore. Every player fights and earns their position. He has less than 2 years , to scout , watch film, fly to see players play. The USMNT schedule up until the world cup is worthless. Nothing challenging is left on the calendar. Mexico sucks , and Canada is alright.
Im really hoping the rumors are true about the gold cup but instead of inviting teams like Spain or France, take a team like like Norway or Greece that would take it more serious and would want international experience.
Chill out. Sebastian is so dramatic. Emma Hayes did not take over immediately. He has this October until December 2025 to leave his imprint on the team. I'm glad that there is a buffer between GGG and pochettino. Let him evaluate these two games and 100-man player pool. I see shulte, Turner and kochen going to the World Cup. Let slonina, horvath and Steffen battle for 4th place. Solid roster!!
If Pochettino is truly coming to us next window, I'm going to let it slide. Plus I don't see it fair with Pochettino arriving and immediately going up against the superior Canadian team. The US team needs to finish being burned for the crap Berhalter and Tim Ream did before we can finally turn to a new page
This is actually a big match for the U.S. vs. Canada. After watching Canada finish #1 & the U.S. tied Costa Rica for 4th in points, in the 2021/2022 qualifiers for the 2022 World cup (the only CONCACAF tournament that all teams play home & away). Then the U.S. didn't get out of the 1st round & Canada made the semi-finals. Canada has 3 of their main starters missing this match too because if injuries. That is the nature of the sport. The show must go on! The U.S. can not afford to go into this Friendly half assed. There is a lot riding on this Friendly & both teams should realky want to win this match.
I imagine that somebody spoke to Poch, and he wants to look at some guys, make no mistake Poch will be watching just to see who he can use, I don't think it's all Poch's squad but he probably had a say over a few names, it's not too much of a waste as Poch will be observing what's going on, I doubt Poch took this job without any prior knowledge of the USMNT
AFAIK clubs do not have to release players for any non sanctioned games “It is not compulsory, however, for clubs to release players outside of specified international windows and clubs do not have to release players for more than one major senior international tournament in a year.”
Leave it to the incompetence of the USSF. This is pathetic. How do you hire a manager and they're a complete no show? We've had no announcement, no press conference, nothing. This is pathetic.
Not entirely wasted. Hopefully Poch will be watching and will get a look at a couple of young, new players. Beyond that showcase for the new guys, I see marginal value to these friendlies. There's no real team building - this isn't the team we'll see even in six months. There's no creating tactics and strategy for the same reason. Several key players we'd expect to be on the team are absent due to fitness/injuries. The real waste was the Copa America, the only international competition before 2026.
This has to be the worst build up to a World Cup, it's painful.
Agree and it’s going to be at our home! We have to get past the quarterfinals this time and I’m not sure how that’s going to come together.
think it’s painful now? just wait until the federation drops the ball on signing pochettino
@@alex-ji3um Hold onto your seats. This whole year has been a tele-novela , from politics to U.S football.

@@edbrown4800 Good Idea. At this point the USSF doesn’t have the intelligence to do this, only to sell tickets.
gotta be varas' roster. as the u20 coach, hes the one who would know of kochen.

100% it is a wasted FIFA window.
Its a complete waste thanks to pocho no show. What kind of commitment is that to the new position. A bad sign.
Bad take. Chelsea slowed the signing process.
@@NITESHADOWshouskedon't blame Chelsea, that's some B.S.
This on Ponch & The USSF
It's a waste of time, I hate US Spoccer Fedration.
Why do we have 4 Keepers?
‘Cause the USMNT need all the help they can muster!
@@DerekLangdon-w9e To get the Barcelona kid involved in a camp.
USMNT will need to schedule games in non-FIFA windows. Clubs will have to deal with it.
