FIA Announces Leadership Shift & Major Financial Turnaround Under Ben Sulayem
The U.S. Men's National Team enters the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup amidst a storm of challenges and heightened expectations, beginning with their match against Trinidad and Tobago.
A depleted roster sees key players absent. Christian Pulisic is being rested, a decision that has sparked debate, and others are committed to the FIFA Club World Cup, leaving a void of experience and star power. Recent performances haven't helped ease concerns, particularly a heavy defeat to Switzerland which highlighted worrying issues with the team's fundamental commitment.
New manager Mauricio Pochettino, brought in to revitalize the squad following a disappointing Copa América campaign, is already facing similar hurdles to his predecessor. The team's current four-game losing streak, the worst in nearly two decades, amplifies the urgency for a decisive victory against Trinidad and Tobago.
Match Details: USMNT vs. Trinidad & Tobago
The Gold Cup group stage match is scheduled for 6:00 PM Eastern Time (3:00 PM Pacific Time) at PayPal Park in San Jose, California.
How to Watch the Game:
The game will be broadcast on Fox and streamed via Fubo.
