U.S. Soccer Fans Furious At Head Coach After Interview Rumor
U.S. Soccer Fans Furious At Head Coach After Interview Rumor originally appeared on The Spun. It's safe to say that U.S. soccer fans are not pleased with what they've seen from head coach Mauricio Pochettino so far. Between the lackluster results in games and some outright blowouts that they've suffered, fans are starting to feel that Pochettino has either mailed it in or simply isn't cut out for the job. Advertisement But those feelings may pale in comparison to how some fans feel after a recent piece of news to hit the wire. According to soccer journalist David Sneyd, Pochettino interviewed for the head coaching position at the English Premier League team Brentford F.C. The team ultimately decided to hire Keith Andrews for the job and it's unclear if Pochettino was even offered the job. "Brentford, it can be revealed, did interview the Argentinian during their search for Frank's replacement. The club, who finished 10th in the Premier League last season, also sat down with former Nottingham Forest and Leicester City boss Steve Cooper," Sneyd wrote for The 42. What's more distressing for American soccer fans is that this interview most likely took place in the middle of the ongoing CONCACAF Gold Cup - which Pochettino is continuing to coach for. Advertisement As a result, many have taken to social media to say point-blank that it's time for Pochettino to go if he's already looking elsewhere: "If Pochettino interviewed for a club job then he needs to be sacked expeditiously !!! A year from World Cup and his name is being floated around about a club job is disgraceful," one user wrote on X. "This is beyond embarrassing and disrespectful from Poch a year before the World Cup. I'd rather the USMNT play with no manager than a rat like this," wrote another. "IF the report is true that Mauricio Pochettino interviewed for a Premier League job while in charge of the #USMNT, there will be SERIOUS questions asked about his commitment to the national team position a year out from the 2026 World Cup........" a third wrote.

Speaking to Doug McIntyre, he denied ever speaking to Brentford F.C. Advertisement "This club never contacted me,' Pochettino said. 'I never talked to them.' The report strained credulity even without Pochettino having publicly denied it. Between his preparations for the Gold Cup quarterfinals this weekend and the fact that he had previously denied interview requests with even bigger clubs, we can probably assume that some wires were crossed in this reporting.

Vega snaps scoreless streak, Mexico beats Saudi Arabia 2-0 in CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Alexis Vega snapped a 19-match scoreless streak in international play with a goal in the 49th minute and defending champion Mexico beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals on Saturday night. Mexico will face Honduras in the semifinals on Wednesday in Santa Clara, California. Honduras beat Panama in a penalty shootout earlier Saturday after the teams played to a 1-1 draw in regulation. The 27-year-old Vega scored after finding some room to work following a nice pass from Raúl Jimenez. His first shot bounced off goalkeeper Nawaf Alaquidi, but the forward quickly corralled the rebound and sent it through Alaquidi's legs and into the net. Vega was initially ruled offside but after review, the goal was allowed and Mexico had a 1-0 lead. Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was pleased with how his team played, particularly after halftime. He said they're heading in the right direction going into the semfinals. 'It was an A-plus,' the coach said. Vega's goal snapped a scoreless streak in international play that dates back to 2022. It also ended a dry spell for Mexico, which scored for the first time in 166 minutes of play. El Tri's final match in group play ended with a scoreless draw against Costa Rica. Mexico pushed ahead 2-0 in the 81st minute on an own goal by Saudi Arabia's Abdullah Madu. Mexico's Mateo Chavez sent a crossing pass to Roberto Alvarado, who never made contact with the ball. Instead, it caromed off a defending Madu and into the net. Saudi Arabia stifled Mexico's offense for much of a scoreless, physical first half. The tension escalated just before the halftime break — Saudi Arabia's Ali Majrashi and Mexico's Jesús Gallardo were both being shown yellow cards after the two exchanged shoves. Gallardo will be suspended for the semifinal round because he has too many yellow cards in the tournament. Gilberto Mora — a 16-year-old midfielder — made his international debut for Mexico and played well over 72 minutes. He's the youngest player to ever play for El Tri. 'He doesn't have any limits right now,' Aguirre said. 'He has room to grow ... and is eager to learn." Mexico is in the knockout stage of the Gold Cup for the 18th consecutive time. Saudi Arabia is playing in its first Gold Cup as an invited guest and advanced to the quarterfinals after beating Haiti, losing to the U.S. and playing to a draw with Trinidad and Tobago. El Tri is two wins away from a 10th Gold Cup championship, which would be the most in the tournament's history. The United States has won seven times while Canada won once. Saudi Arabia has never beaten Mexico in international play, with six losses and a draw.
