  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The next few months mark a key phase in Mauricio Pochettino's time with the USMNT and a critical period at that, following their disappointing performance in the 2025 CONCACAF Nations League finals.

    The U.S. is set to participate in the 2025 Gold Cup beginning on June 14, and fans will be hoping to see a big performance after their poor showing this past spring.
