Mauricio Pochettino named his first roster as coach of the men’s national soccer team Wednesday. And it many ways it was little different than the rosters that have come before.
It’s a little older, with the 25 players averaging just more than 25 years of age, and a bit more experienced, with 17 of the 21 outfield players reporting to camp this weekend with at least 12 international caps. And there are some familiar faces returning as well, with goalkeeper Zach Steffen getting his first call-up since March 2023 and midfielder Gianluca Busio back for the first time since the 2023 Gold Cup.
