The USMNT manager said players should stay out of conversations that don’t deal with soccer
Last week, Mauricio Pochettino began a World Cup year with an unforced error.
At the tail-end of a virtual press conference that covered a wide range of ongoing USMNT business, the 53-year-old Argentine – who has made himself commendably available to the American soccer press – was asked about recent comments by Tim Weah.
The Olympique Marseille winger, already the holder of 47 US caps at age 25, had recently spoken to French regional newspaper Le Dauphiné Libéré about a range of topics and was lauded by the publication for his “lucidity, maturity and frankness” during the interview. Among the subjects: the 2026 World Cup, to be co-hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada this summer.
“I am just a bit disappointed by the ticket prices,” Weah said. “Lots of real fans will miss matches.”
