So, uh, 2025, huh?
If we put the U.S. men's national team on the same August-to-July calendar as club teams, it's been an incredibly disappointing year for the Americans.
It started out great! After flaming out of the Copa América, the USMNT got rid of the coach most of the fans didn't want and replaced him with, theoretically, one of the best coaches in the world. Mauricio Pochettino is the kind of coach USMNT supporters have been claiming the team deserved for a decade. He was also the kind of coach people like me said the team would never get.
