Summary
The U.S. Mens National Team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup, with a defense-heavy roster expected under Manager Mauricio Pochettino. The team has five center backs and five fullbacks, including talents like Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Sergiño Dest, and Antonee Robinson. Pochettino is known for his formation experiments, and the team is considering various defensive setups, from a traditional four-man backline to a more attacking three-man backline. These strategies will be tested in upcoming friendlies against Germany and Senegal before the World Cup. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
