USMNT Faces South Korea: Live Stream and Game Details
The United States men's national soccer team aims to rebound against South Korea after their recent loss in the Concacaf Gold Cup, preparing for the World Cup.
On Saturday, the United States men’s national team will be back in action for the first time since their defeat against Mexico in the Concacaf Gold Cup final. The USMNT may have lost their title of Kings of Concacaf, but they must quickly refocus as they prepare to face South Korea and Japan during this international break. Both teams have secured spots in the 2026 World Cup and will look to enhance their preparation against strong opponents.
This match will have a special connection for Pochettino as he meets his former player at Tottenham, Son Heung-Min, who will represent South Korea. Pochettino expressed excitement about this reunion, stating,
“It’s going to be an amazing opportunity to see each other. We really love each other. He was very important during my time at Tottenham. I wanted to sign him but he chose a different club. When we finally managed to bring him to Tottenham, he became one of the best.”
