Next week, #USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino will name his final 26-player roster for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup. With several regulars unavailable, who will make the squad? www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

D’Agostino is in Charlotte on Thursday. They’ll watch four games this weekend, with Mauricio Pochettino at Atlanta-Revs.

Diego Luna scores with #USMNT assistant coach Miki D’Agostino in attendance at RSL-Galaxy. Mauricio Pochettino’s staff will scout two more MLS games this weekend: Jesus Perez and Toni Jimenez will be at Columbus-Montreal tonight and NYCFC-Minnesota tomorrow.

Inter Miami may be on track to win another MLS Supporters’ Shield, but the biggest test for Lionel Messi & Co. so far is tonight’s Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal opener against LAFC. www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Field for the Concacaf Gold Cup is now set: 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 🇵🇦 🇺🇸 🇨🇷 🇯🇲 🇭🇳 🇭🇹 🇹🇹 🇸🇻 🇩🇴 🇸🇷 🇬🇹 🇨🇼 🇬🇵 🇸🇦 (guest) Concacaf will now wait another 15 days to conduct draw. 🤦‍♂️ 🥱

With the 2026 World Cup just over a year away, the #USMNT has given fans and former players no reason to believe that a deep run next summer is likely. “We need to make a bigger effort and be a team people can get behind and support.” ⁦‪ www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

The #USMNT has now lost back-to-back home games to Canada for the first time since the two countries began playing each other in 1925.

Mauricio Pochettino has to love what he saw from Diego Luna during that first half. #USMNT

Five changes from the #USMNT lineup that lost to Panama last week: Carter-Vickers and McKenzie replace Tim Ream and Chris Richards at CB, Max Arfsten at LB (with Scally taking Yunus Musah’s spot on the right), Agyemang for Josh Sargent up top and Luna in for Tanner Tessmann in central midfield.

For the #USMNT, Sunday’s match against Canada represents a pivotal gut check a year before this generation's legacy will be cemented at a World Cup on home soil. “We need to show character.” www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

“We knew exactly what we had to do. We knew we needed to be competitive. I don't think we were as competitive as we needed to be.” Full postgame reaction following the latest #USMNT loss to Panama. www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

#USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino following tonight’s 1-0 loss to “hungry” Panama: “We are USA, but you cannot win with your shirt. You need to come here and be better and suffer and win the duels and work hard. If not, it’s not going to be enough.”

Looks like Patrick Agyemang will be coming in for the #USMNT.

The #USMNT is well aware of its struggles against Panama in tournament play. Tonight’s Concacaf Nations League semifinal offers a chance to flip the script. ⁦‪ www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Thierry Henry and Mauricio Pochettino catch up before the #USMNT trains in Los Angeles today.

Not many players earn their first invitation to the full-strength #USMNT at age 29. Can Brian White make the most of his opportunity? www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Former Union midfielder Jack McGlynn is set to join the USMNT’s Nations League squad as an injury replacement for Johnny Cardoso: www.inquirer.com/soccer/johnn... via @phillysport.bsky.social @inquirer.com (First reported by @stevengoff.bsky.social, and I've since heard it separately)

We are BACK 🇺🇸

Nice timing: On the eve of his maiden call-up to the full-strength #USMNT, Patrick Agyemang gets his first MLS goal of the season.

Christian Pulisic 15th goal of the season matches his career high (set last year). #USMNT

CBS says all of its Concacaf Nations League final four game broadcasts will only be on Paramount+. Yes, it's during the NCAA men's basketball tournament, but when we wonder why the #USMNT isn't getting more attention...

Though Gio Reyna has played sparingly in Germany this season, #USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino named him to the Nations League squad. “We want to win this competition and he can help. But at the same time, I think he can do better.” ⁦‪ www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

A planned June friendly match between the #USMNT and No. 8-ranked Belgium was scrapped because of scheduling issues, per multiple sources: www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Tyler Adams, Gio Reyna and Cameron Carter-Vickers get their first callups from coach Mauricio Pochettino. No room for Brenden Aaronson, Miles Robinson or Alex Zendejas. #USMNT

Christian Pulisic nets his 13th goal of the season across all competitions. #USMNT

Predicting the #USMNT roster for this month’s Concacaf Nations League finals: www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Ethan Horvath with a superb first half vs. Aston Villa in a rare start for Cardiff City, including a fine stop on Marcus Rashford just before the break. #USMNT

Shakira, Shakira! The Colombian star's show in Monterrey pushes Rayados out to Torreón. Herediano continues to find neutral sites with its stadium undergoing renovations. Otherwise, the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 matchups are as expected. #CCC #Concacaf #Shakira

Ahead of a possible Concacaf Nations League final between the #USMNT and Canada next month, Jesse Marsch, Canada’s American coach, implored President Trump to “lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state.” www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...
