Episode Details

Coach Pochettino’s World Cup roster is set, but his toughest battle is still ahead: picking the starting XI and formation. After testing 28 players and four setups, he’s narrowing focus ahead of friendlies against Senegal and Germany, prioritizing chemistry over experimentation. The 4-2-3-1 could see Adams and McKennie anchoring midfield, Dest at right back, and Tillman flexing between AM and wing. Or, for a more defensive look, the 3-4-2-1 might deploy Richards alongside Ream and McKenzie. And if attack is the goal, the 3-4-3—used to beat Australia—could feature Wright, Pulisic, and Berhalter. With the tournament just weeks away, Pochettino’s mission is clear: find the lineup that clicks.
