## Resource

The U.S. men’s national team kicks off a pivotal four-year rebuild under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, who’s locked in through 2030, as they prepare for the 2030 World Cup with four crucial friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada. Pochettino will name a 26-man squad blending seasoned pros like Pulisic and Richards with rising stars such as Malik Tillman and Folarin Balogun — despite recent transfer drama — while younger talents like Cavan Sullivan and Neil Pierre could make their debut. The focus is on building a competitive, professional core that can dominate on the world stage by 2030, with veterans like Tim Ream and Matt Turner likely phased out to make room for the future.
