Pochettino’s USMNT delivered another solid performance to secure a place in the World Cup knockout rounds, but are there signs of concern ahead?

In front of an electric crowd in Seattle, the USMNT dismissed a fiery Australian side 2-0, with strong performances from our midfielders Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and Malik Tillman. Pochettino’s tactics to compensate for the absence of captain Christian Pulisic paid off as Folari Balogun and Alex Freeman’s respective stocks continue to rise.

Herculez Gomez and Sebi Salazar break down how the USMNT’s six points from its first two games place the U.S. Men’s National Team in the driver’s seat for a favorable knockout path and debate how much of an impact the team’s yellow cards (and continued uncertainty of Pulisic’s health status) will have on in its next games.
