Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT had a chance to restore some confidence in the team on Sunday when they met Canada in the third-place game of the CONCACAF Nations League.
Call it a chance wasted, as the Yanks suffered through a second-straight loss to continental competition on home soil just 13 months away from the oh-so-rare chance to compete in a home World Cup.
The Yanks had an opportunity to write-off Thursday’s semifinal loss to Panama as a bad day of finishing and a single error from its goalkeeper, but instead looked like the very same team that lost to Los Canaleros despite making five changes to the Starting XI.
