The World Cup Has A USA Pochettino Problem

The World Cup Has A USA Pochettino Problem The World Cup has a USA Pochettino problem and it just got real. The United States beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle without their captain Christian Pulisic, who was ruled out with a calf injury, and they still looked completely in control from start to finish. Folarin Balogun forced an own goal from Cameron Burgess in the 11th minute, then Alex Freeman, son of Super Bowl champion Antonio Freeman, headed home his first ever World Cup goal right before halftime. The USA have now booked their spot in the Round of 32 with one group game still to play, and Mauricio Pochettino is proving this team can win even when their biggest star is missing. In this video we break down how the goals came together, why Alex Freeman's story matters beyond the scoreline, what this result means for Group D, and why opponents in this World Cup should be worried about a USA squad with this much depth.
