Pochettino Extended as US Coach

FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas believes Mauricio Pochettino will be a better coach in the next cycle as the U.S. men's national team prepares for the 2030 World Cup. "I think that he will be a better coach this cycle than he was last cycle," Lalas stated.

Lalas emphasized that Pochettino's success will be judged on winning knockout stage matches, particularly the round of 16. "Where he is again going to be judged is if he is going to get us to that rarefied air and that promised land," he said, noting that success would shift the conversation about American soccer. sweetbonanza.qpon
