US coach Mauricio Pochettino says ‘We’re going to have the possibility to win the World Cup’
June 7, 2025
A third straight loss didn’t prevent Mauricio Pochettino from thinking big. The U.S. lost its third straight game, wasting an early lead in a 2-1 defeat to Turkey. Coming off a dismal showing in the CONCACAF Nations League, Pochettino was pleased, saying: “We need to compete like today and for sure we’re going to have the possibility to win the World Cup.” Jack McGlynn scored 59 seconds in for the U.S. Turkey took advantage of a sloppy defense as Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu scored in a 2-minute, 20-second span midway through the first half.
