The U.S. men’s national team faced South Korea in a tough match on Saturday. With the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, this loss amplifies the urgency for the team to improve.
In the 18th minute, Son Heung-min netted a goal and then assisted Lee Dong-gyeong in scoring another just before halftime, showcasing the overwhelming support for South Korea from the crowd.
The U.S. team, now 10-7 under coach Mauricio Pochettino, has limited time to prepare for the World Cup, putting more pressure on the Argentine manager.
Despite the unfavorable outcome for the U.S., players like Sergiño Dest made a notable comeback after a long injury, while Tristan Blackmon debuted internationally alongside veteran Tim Ream.
Josh Sargent continues to struggle without a goal in his last 17 matches.
