Is Mauricio Pochettino's style too slow for the USMNT?

If anything will stick from the USMNT's mostly unmemorable 2-1 loss to Turkey last week, it'll be either Jack McGlynn's first goal with the team, or the unfortunate moment when Johnny Cardoso flicked the ball into Arda Güler's shin and into his team's own goal.

But the most illustrative moment from the exhibition match happened a few seconds before the ball was trickling past goalkeeper Matt Freese and across the goal line.

Alex Freeman had just won the ball from Juventus' Kenan Yildiz right outside the USMNT's penalty area.
