Pochettino Blasts 'Embarrassing' Refs After USA-Mexico Gold Cup Finale

  • The United States lost 2-1 to Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final at Houston's NRG Stadium on Sunday night.
  • The match featured controversial refereeing decisions including a VAR overturn that allowed a Mexico goal initially ruled offside and a disallowed US goal.
  • The US took an early lead through defender Chris Richards in the fourth minute but Mexico rallied with goals from Raul Jimenez and Edson Álvarez, the latter off a key free kick.
  • Coach Mauricio Pochettino condemned the referees’ performance as embarrassing, insisting that if a similar incident had occurred in the other penalty area, it definitely would have been called a penalty.
  • Mexico secured its 10th Gold Cup title amid gamesmanship complaints, while analyst Pat McAfee called the loss a minor detour and expressed continued confidence in the US team.
