What Pochettino personally confirmed in this excellent interview: 1) It is/was a tough job reversing the broken and chronically ill ship he inherited. 2) The difference between "soccer" and football everywhere else in the world? In the US it's about entertainment since there's no consequences like relegation in MLS. Overseas it's NOT merely entertainment. 3) People lose perspective and show a lack of respect for those with expertise. To boot, pro American soccer coaches also demonstrated this lack of respect [to me]. 4) US Soccer is not interfering in his roster decisions. 5) The American European-based players had a posture of entitlement, and were treating call-ups as unimportant. One main reason is (unlike the earlier generations) they didn't/don't need the USMNT platform to get to Europe and, crazily, believed their spot on the World Cup was already secure. Nowhere else in the world is there that entitlement. "I've never heard of even Messi, Maradona, Ronaldo, saying a year before the world cup 'nah, I'm gonna rest so that I'm fresh for the WC next year.'" Even the media/fans were justifying that rationale, that culture. 6) Copy the best in the world. Don't try to invent something new. 7) The USMNT generation from the 90s, who now have media jobs, had to fight in a very different way for what they earned. The current generation is different in that respect as well. 8) Elsewhere it's team first, not player first. We've got to get to that here in the US as well. This doesn't just go for the player posture, but the media/fans as well. 9) Proper culture: Players need to take all these friendly games as if they are world cup games. 10) There are players who we [the technical staff] fell in love with, and others we became disappointed in. Every player is unique and must be analyzed as such. 11) It's silly to work for "legacy", with the exception of being remembered as a good person and good professional. 12) The goal is to WIN the World Cup. If one doesn't think that way, what's the point? x.com/AndresCantorGO…

So Jesse Marsch rejected Leicester back in 2023 to take over the USMNT 🇺🇸, then the fed decided to bring back Gregg Berhalter. Regardless of what your thoughts are on Jesse Marsch there was absolutely no reasonable reason to bring Berhalter back over Marsch.

“I never measure the players performances for their clubs. Christian isn’t scoring but I am happy with him because he is playing hard for the team. We want to have him in the best situation.” - Pochettino Are you guys learning?

“Every single player is different. We cannot follow the same rule because every player is different. Different character, different profile, different talent.” - Pochettino Adjust your mental model, people.

"With Gio and Alex Freeman, maybe they aren't playing for their club, but it's different. If you give your best, and it's not enough to get game time, it's ok." - Pochettino You see, your conventional mental model of this business is not correct.

The door is open, Pochettino has tried to recruit Noahkai Banks. Now it’s up to the player if the wants the USMNT 🇺🇸 or Germany 🇩🇪 Unfortunetly it seems like Germany is the priority.
Alex Calabrese@amcalabrese12

Mauricio Pochettino: "We are very focused on (Noahkai Banks), he's in the player pool... he's always on our mind, but at the moment he was very clear that he is not available for selection because he has not made a decision." 🇺🇸🇩🇪

There have always been pickup ⚽️games in the USA. It did however depend on where you lived (e.g. southern california vs north dakota). Within the past 5-10 years that has fallen off a cliff, but that's true even in Argentina and the traditional global soccer powers.

@3four3 Poch is Don Garber’s muppet. He isn’t picking more than 18 players for the World Cup roster, probably less.

That's not at all why USSF is controlled by MLS. It is controlled because of monopoly power. If anyone at USSF wants to continue working in the top level of the game now or in the future, they must comply with the monopoly. Your livelihood is under threat. x.com/StatessideFoot…

So many lost souls in the comments. 😔 Wait till Jake realizes that the magnitude and scale of the "pay-to-play model" is a CONSEQUENCE, and not fundamental. Who wants to give him a hand? x.com/YedIin/status/…
