Back to EpisodesPochettino's World Cup Prep: Striker Frustration
Description
U.S. national team coach Mauricio Pochettino is grappling with the pressure of the 2026 World Cup, just ten weeks away. Hes experimenting with a new four-three-three formation, moving Christian Pulisic to a false nine role. This shift has left real forwards like Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, and Patrick Agyemang on the bench, causing frustration among fans and ex-players. Clint Dempsey, a U.S. legend, has spoken out, expressing the forwards desire for more playing time. Pulisic and Agyemang remain goalless in their recent droughts, leaving questions unanswered as camp continues.
