What's your score prediction for Tuesday's game against Mexico?

[TRae]

When the back line stepped forward as one to place the Panama no 9 in offside, I felt very warm inside….nice job Ponch.

What stood out for me was Pochettino’s personality. He has a presence, magnetism and genuine manner that draws people to him. He has gravity to him…people know him, respect him and take him seriously. Did you see when he thanked the referees after the final whistle? They were magnetized by him and he engaged with them so easily and happily. So, not only does he have experience as a top-league and national player, not only does he have the experience of one of the game’s best gaffers, but he has the ability to get people to listen to him and, using his words…BELIEVE. If this can continue to build and happen, the USMNT will be able to get to the next level.

The biggest difference was Poch can clearly manage a team and game better. From positioning, to subs, to movement. You can see the gears moving.

Best part of watching the match in Spanish was the announcer shouting No Pepi No Party in his thick accent when he scored. The game would have been depressing if we didn't clinch the second goal. I'd say a woeful lack of brilliance tonight, but I was happy for Musah and Pepi... solid goals... Chicken legs was the man of the match tonight... we may get Lucho next year for 2025... we need a thrilling quality on the team that few can bring

[marktullis]

Your description of the build up to the Musah goal was poetry - that is the "beautiful game".

I'm an expat from Houston, TX in Buenos Aires. It's raining here but it's all sunshine in my heart today

[Rvbeus]

I'm a big Brenden Aaronson fan and I'm so glad that Poch a top tier coach is going to put him under his shoulder ! Very exciting time right now !

[aldwulfe]

I wouldn't be surprised if Poch fully rotates the squad including goalkeeper. He has to have a chance to evaluate the players so he knows whether they will cut it or not. I know it's a rivalry but it's still a friendly.

[mrmr]

It's a process, it won't totally change overnight, give him 3 or 4 camps, this camp is about getting to know the players and having a close look to see if he can use them in the future, there's definitely more to come

[OpticsOnOrganisms]

The team looked relaxed and skilled. Not earth shattering and overwhelming against Panama. Still displayed much confidence controlling the ball. Way to go Team USA!

[bradlymontgomery]

“82 degrees of smothering heat.” I was there at the game and I can assure you, and I’m not exaggerating this one little bit, that was an amazingly wonderful temperature. There was a cool breeze and it was absolutely perfect.

[mch]

Great team management and tight form. Fighting with intensity. Well done!

[RoyBoy-xsli]

Biggest difference I saw: 1. Intensity-EFFORT 2. Positioning- ball and player movement

[LearnFarm-hw]

I don’t think Pepsi or Wright played very well even though they had a goal involvement. When the subs came in, the US were not able to control the ball. Panama had several opportunities to school and should have. They seemed to want to counter-attack compared to controlling the ball. But as a Chelsea fan, I could see how the use controlled the ball for the first 60 minutes, and it was nice to see.

[carolsomewhereinengland]

He dropped McKennie and played Morris. Nothing but positivity to be deduced from that.
To see Poch with his US badge and then the Americans to announce him as The Gaffer on the official account was strange.😂

[ImMrIncredible]

Are we gonna see more 3-4-2-1s in the future?

[cathybruce]

As a Brit and a Tottenham fan we know how special Poch is. I wish England would have got him lol.

[coureyfeerer]

Hey Now Nice Dead Reference---- and--- you're right----the kit does have the look. Put a Steal-Your-Face patch on the arm and roll through the lot, and you'd not be out of place!

[nias]

I don't think that for now Ream being in is bad. Poch will probably train up one young CB under Reams guidance and then swap in another young one for Ream and train that one up when the time is right. I think this is more about passing on knowledge.
