Mauricio Pochettino’s side lost their second straight game in underwhelming fashion against regional competition
After winning four consecutive matches under new coach Mauricio Pochettino, the United States faces a crossroads 15 months before it joins Canada and Mexico in playing host to the World Cup.
Canada took third place in the Concacaf Nations League tournament with a 2-1 victory at SoFi Stadium. The defeat, which came 72 hours after a 1-0 loss to Panama in Thursday’s semi-finals, forced the United States to finish fourth in a competition it had only won in its three previous editions.
