USMNT vs Panama: match preview
Appointed on a two-year contract in September, Pochettino will oversee two friendlies this month, before leading the USMNT into the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Nations League in November.
The Argentine was hired to replace Gregg Berhalter, who was dismissed by US Soccer after the team’s poor showing at this summer’s Copa América - a tournament that saw the hosts bow out in the group stage.
After facing the Panamanians, the Americans travel to Zapopan for a friendly against arch North American rivals Mexico on Tuesday October 15.
Panama were partly responsible for the USMNT’s disappointing performance at the Copa América - after all, the Central Americans beat Berhalter’s team 2-1 in Group C, on their way to reaching the quarter-finals at their expense. Once in the knockout stages, Los Canaleros were eliminated by Colombia, falling to a 5-0 thrashing.
After taking on the USMNT in Texas, Panama move on to a friendly with Canada in Toronto, also on Tuesday.
