The United States Men’s National Team have had an eventful week, but now it’s time to put in the work on the field. Today, they line up against Haiti in the first leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.
They hit the field with the full knowledge that they’re in the final two matches of the Mauricio Pochettino era. The Argentine coach announced yesterday that he will leave the USMNT after this window to take over as the head coach at Manchester United, a move that had been speculated for
a week before the move was made official. His final job as USMNT coach is to get the team through to the Concacaf Nations League Finals and qualify for the Concacaf Gold Cup in the process.
The first leg today is Haiti’s home match that was moved to Miami from Kingston last month in an extraordinary move by Concacaf. The move allows Haiti to generate more of a home field advantage in South Florida, with has a massive Haitian-American population. They hope to catch the USMNT flat-footed through all of the news surrounding Pochettino and grab a win to put even more pressure on the United States. It’s the job of the USMNT players to tune out all the noise and focus on getting a win over Les Grenadiers to set themselves up for the second leg.
