Pochettino Takes Blame After USA World Cup Exit

After a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Belgium in Seattle, USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino acknowledged his responsibility for the team's performance. "The principal responsible is myself," Pochettino told FOX Sports. "We need to see and check what we did because it wasn't the performance or the way that normally we play." chickenroadslot.pro

Belgium advanced to the quarterfinals with goals from Charles De Ketelaere, Hans Vanaken, and Romelu Lukaku, while Malik Tillman scored the lone US goal. Pochettino noted his team failed to show their usual intensity and sharpness, adding, "We need to learn... we need to assess that game and see why we didn't approach the game in the same way as the rest of the World Cup." Belgium will face Spain in the quarterfinals on July 10.
