Mauricio Pochettino called for patience on Sunday after the United States slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Canada, insisting there was still time to turn things around ahead of next year's World Cup.
After an abject CONCACAF Nations League semi-final loss to Panama on Thursday, Pochettino had called on his team to show greater urgency and take more risks in Sunday's third place game against Canada.
But those pleas appeared to have fallen on deaf ears judging by another lackluster display from Pochettino's side, who failed to take a single shot -- on or off target -- in the opening half-hour at SoFi Stadium.
