Tyler Adams Says Hostile Home Crowds Good Experience for US in Case Similar Atmosphere at World Cup
UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Coach Mauricio Pochettino is using eight upcoming friendlies to evaluate an expanded US player pool amid rebuilding efforts after recent disappointing international results.
- Mauricio Pochettino said on July 7, 2025, that the U.S. national team will be very competitive and difficult for opponents.
- The team entered the Gold Cup following its longest losing streak since 2007 and a first-round Copa America exit last year, leading to pressure on players and staff.
- Pochettino used a largely B squad for the Gold Cup, expanded the player pool, and plans eight friendlies from September through March plus two pre-World Cup send-offs to assess players.
- Tyler Adams noted noise outside the field during the tournament, highlighted player growth, and said culture must translate immediately or players likely won’t be called back, reflecting Pochettino’s priorities.
- These preparations and cultural emphasis suggest the U.S. team aims to build a competitive side while sustaining a positive environment amid scrutiny ahead of the World Cup.
