The summer of the experience of the national men’s national team in the United States was extended to the fall, and on Saturday evening against South Korea, as well as disappointing results. The 2-0 loss to TaeGuk Warriors may be in an evening saturated with steam and moisture at the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SADIUM stadium that has provided a main coach Mauricio Pochettino with valuable visions about his additions to the American players group, where he said that he was his goal for this international window. Perhaps it has confirmed prior theories that she imagined about any players from the heavy MLS menu that can ascend to the international level. Maybe nothing of these things. Regardless of the method, it was definitely a continuation of the distress of a team that strongly needs to get out of the recession only 279 days before hosting the first home match of the home Cup that is supposed to be transformative.
There was no such feeling of South Korea, even with the presence of the Hong Meung Po coach under intense criticism at home for the meaningless team performance in the team. Certainly, the mobilization of capabilities in Harrison, New Jersey had to do with this apparent renewal, chanting the vast majority of visitors – a fact that may seem surprising until you think that the city is going on the way from Fort Lee, to home to the growing diaspora in South Korea. The traditional “Daehan Minguk” chants erupted in the country more than 20 minutes ago, and continued throughout the wild chants at every force of payment by the anti -attack by Hong.
The United States can reasonably expect more convenient crowds at the World Cup, but they hope to leave the model they showed on Saturday. Poittino began properly, and it was better than playing during most of the opening 15 minutes. But as it was in a similar experimental game against Türkiye earlier this year, the initial donations did not come out to anything positive for 90 minutes.
He was then asked when it’s time to start turning his continuous evaluation of the United States program into results, Poittino said: “When the World Cup begins.”
Pochittino said there are many examples of the teams that won a lot in the World Cup that felt disappointed once there, using his experience as a player in the 2002 Argentina Tah, Taht out of the 2002 World Cup in the group stage as an example. Poittino promised that the team would be ready and to come in the opening match of the World Cup, but it was difficult to see on Saturday how the dull performance against the Korean would lead to that.
The key between side failures was not to communicate in defense. Tristan Blackon, 29, who was one of the surprise impurities in the Pochettino squad, was among a few of them, but no American player was fortified. Repeated and repeatedly, the players like experienced like Tyler Adams, Tim Reem and Sergiño Dest were scrambling to catch the Korea team, one step forward.
As Son Heung-MIN started the game in a relatively new role as a striker to start Taeguk Warriors. The newly signed LAFC man explained that he could be a difference maker in this position – as the opening game goal in the 18th minute was scored in what was a clear example of all of us in the United States and South Korea. Since the United States is flat with huge gaps inside the midfield and defense, SON read the situation, stood himself between Ream and BlackMon, got the ball, and did not make any mistake with his end.
“I thought we started the game in a very positive way, but we confessed in a way that we should not give up,” Pochettino said. “We have worked this week not to give a player like SON to run. We were negative to provide the space for registration.”
For the second goal, SON was played by a simple giving at the top of the box, and slides via RAM and BlackMon to earn the ball away from the Matt Freese goalkeeper. LEE Dong-Gyeong’s simple finishing was away from the simple and well-positioned, but the conditions that led to this were difficult to understand from a team that hopes to make noise on the stage in the world.

South Korea has generated several other opportunities and Faten near our mistakes. Just six minutes after accepting, Christian Polisic and Adams left large gaps in the shape of the Americans by running to the same place, where Korea cut off both the high -coordinated press that finally forced Freiz on one of several permits closely at night.
South Korea has made errors on its own, but the United States has repeatedly failed to benefit from them. In the 27th minute, put a dirty gift while playing from the back a mixture of Diego Luna, Josh Sargent, Pulisic and Tim Weah in the goal. They could not find a decent window on the goal, and weah’s efforts were rescued.
“In general, I think we are dealing with South Korea, but in the end, if you are not clinical … this is difficult,” Pochettino said after that. “If we put the result on another side, I am very happy with the way we develop.”
Poittino chose to make a rash of submarines in the 61st minute, where Alex Freeman brought Dest, Chris Richards for Weah, Fulain Balogun For Sargent and Cristian Roldan For Adams. Along with those introductions, it turned in the composition, from the back four to the back, five with Freeman and Max Erfstin pushing forward on any of the touch line.
The United States often does not play with the back of five, and most of the aspects of Pochittino are not throughout its existence as a manager. On this occasion, some additional registration opportunities followed the transformation, although it is difficult to say whether the new arrangement or the growing US despair is to thank the improvement.
It reached its climax in a few opportunities that were in bush from the breaches. In one of them, a group piece fell on Richards, who looked like the central defender, as the ball distorted his thigh and in the arms of goalkeeper Joe Hyun Woo. Elsewhere, Joe was the hero again, as he saved two consecutive effort from the point of Balogun before the attacker obtained a third bite of cherries, which led to his recent efforts from the crossbar. Balogun was placed on the target again in the moments of death in the game, and the atmosphere was saved again.
The missions, big and small, follow this team with looming on the horizon the moment of lights, increasingly fateful.
