Injuries, players resting, a lack of quality and poor execution see the USMNT with more questions than answers a year out from World Cup

Argentine Mauricio Pochettino was named the successor to Greg Berhalter, who coached the USMNT from 2018 to 2024 and who thoroughly groomed what many consider the best generation of U.S. players. Pochettino suffered his first setback in the Concacaf Nations League in March when Canada eliminated the U.S. in the semifinal.

With one year to go until the start of the 2026 World Cup, things are not going to plan for the US Men’s National Team.

The Yanks don't look great, and a sea of players are missing out on the 2025 Gold Cup thanks to injuries, rest, and even the Club World Cup.

One year out from the 2026 World Cup, the pressure is building on Mauricio Pochettino. His team was embarrassed for 45 minutes by Switzerland.

The U.S. Men’s National Team’s performance Tuesday didn’t do much to soothe American soccer legend Landon Donovan.

Tyler Adams says the U.S. soccer team has tuned out criticism from former players. Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, who share the American goals record with 57 each, are among those who have been critical of current regulars not in the struggling roster preparing for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The pressure is on for the USA men's soccer team one year out of the World Cup, but all it takes is one moment to get fans hooked forever.
