Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal

After making his USMNT debut with two October friendlies – a win over Panama and a defeat at Mexico – Pochettino tackles his first competitive games in his new post.
The USMNT are seeking a fourth consecutive Concacaf Nations League title, lifting the trophy every time the competition has been contested.
Additionally, these matches help Pochettino lay the groundwork before the US co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico.
MLS call-ups
Pochettino has called up the same four MLS players from his first-ever camp last October.
That group includes goalkeepers Zack Steffen (Colorado Rapids) and Patrick Schulte (Columbus Crew), as well as center backs Tim Ream (Charlotte FC) and Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati).
Can they continue to impress the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur manager?
MLS alums
Of the 18 players based in Europe, 12 are MLS alumni – either via an academy, homegrown pathway or the SuperDraft.
That contingent includes former New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner, Philadelphia Union product Brenden Aaronson and ex-FC Dallas striker Ricardo Pepi.
Three call-ups compete in LIGA MX, including former FC Cincinnati striker Brandon Vazquez and San Jose Earthquakes product Cade Cowell.
