With Mauricio Pochettino waiting in the wings, the USMNT welcomes CONCACAF neighbors Canada to Kansas City hoping to prove it’s still the team to beat in North America.
As the U.S. crashed out of the Copa America group stage, American coach Jesse Marsch was leading their northern rivals to a surprise semifinal spot, rubbing salt in the wound as Gregg Berhalter’s time in charge of the United States men came to an end.
Now, with former Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino set to sign aboard, Mikey Varas leads the USMNT on an interim basis for this game and the ensuing match against New Zealand in three days.
