Pochettino also addressed the issue of recruiting players eligible for multiple nations, emphasizing the importance of commitment and dedication to representing the U.S. national team.
Overall, Pochettino is optimistic about the team’s prospects in the upcoming matches and is focused on building a strong and competitive team for future competitions.
