The World Cup Was NOT Ready for the USA...

For years, the U.S. men’s national team arrived at major tournaments with talent on paper but failed to deliver results. The pedigree was there—the performances weren’t. But this doesn't feel like that team anymore. In two years, the USMNT has been completely transformed under Mauricio Pochettino. Structure has replaced uncertainty, belief has replaced doubt, and with a home 2026 World Cup, confidence has grown into real expectation. Now, after not only topping but dominating their World Cup group, it's fair to say the World Cup was not ready for the USA... In this video, we break down the USMNT's dysfunction under Gregg Berhalter, the tactical and cultural reset under Pochettino, and how the USA became the biggest World Cup dark horses in 2026. #worldcup #fifaworldcup #worldcup2026 0:00 - Biggest Dark Horses? 0:50 - Berhalter Disasterclass 4:48 - The Pochettino Effect 6:29 - History Beckons *All footage used in the video is for contextual purposes and in no way intended to infringe on intellectual property.
