Description

Mauricio Pochettino’s odd selections and misprofiling of his own players came back to haunt the USMNT in a brutal 2-0 loss to South Korea. From square pegs in round holes to baffling tactical choices, this was a display that exposed just how badly the manager misunderstood his squad. South Korea had no trouble exploiting the weaknesses, and the result was an embarrassing defeat that raised serious questions about Pochettino’s future in charge. In this breakdown, we dive into why the lineup never made sense, how the game unraveled, and what this performance reveals about the disconnect between the players and the system.
