Took charge of Real Sociedad when they were in relegation trouble, has them 4 points off 5th, looking for a Champions League spot, with only 2 defeats, and now Copa Del Rey Champion.
The first USA Manager to win a trophy in a Top Five league. Enorme, Rino 👏
Club America and Cruz Azul, the two most successful teams in CONCACAF history, were knocked out at home on the same day by two clubs with less than 8 years of history.
Brian Gutierrez played the first 45 minutes against Portugal, where he was arguably Mexico’s best player.
Now in his hometown of Chicago, he had another solid 45 in a start against Belgium.
This kid is going to make Mexico’s World Cup team, isn’t he? 🇲🇽
This is the starting XI that the pregame show (TNT, the USMNT partner) just displayed.
Why are you experimenting in your final game before announcing the World Cup roster? It seems like this cycle has been a waste in terms of preparation. No matter the outcome tonight.
Matt Freese back in goal.
Ream out and Chris Richards in while nursing a knee knock.
No nominal 9. Balo, Pepi, and Agyemang on the bench. #USMNT
Canada is a big winner today.
Switzerland is favored to win Group B.
Not having to face Italy in Toronto is a huge relief. BMO Field would have been mostly Italian fans. #CANMNT 🍁
Italian football must seriously address its issues. Once a football powerhouse, they have now missed three straight World Cups.
The last time they qualified, they were knocked out in the group stage. 🇮🇹
What's crazy is they won the Euros in 2021. 🤯
USMNT, Paraguay, Australia, and now Turkey.
The US World Cup Group is a trap group. I said it during the draw, and I’ll stand by it again.
Should Turner have done better? Yes. He’s going to want that one back. 🧤
But also...
#USMNT
Tala Rangel gets the nod over Memo Ochoa.
Mexican-Americans Obed Vargas and Brian Gutierrez with a massive opportunity.
Alvaro Fidalgo makes his debut with the Mexican National team. 🇲🇽
1st half thoughts. 💭
Heavy field feel, too slow for both teams.
Wes with one but should have had two!🔥
Malik, Weah, & Antonee have been positive. Tessman is dropping back into CB in both phases.
Pulisic has been poor so far.
#USMNT the better team vs a Top 10 🌎
But also of football played under the most extraordinary conditions, and a collective career memory that would never be forgotten. The two hours it took to dig my rental car out of the parking lot was worth every second.
Over the past few days, no Thibaut Courtois for Belgium, no Messi at Estadio Azteca, and now no Cristiano Ronaldo vs Mexico.
Brutal week both Mexico and #USMNT.
¡La U! ¡La U! ¡La U!
I could try to explain it, but you wouldn’t understand. 💙 💛 🐯
AND OBED!!
Soon to be 41 year old Memo Ochoa is back.
Álvaro Fidalgo gets his first call up.
Five Chivas players.
Mexican-Americans Richy Ledezma and Brian Gutiérrez make the final roster. 🇲🇽
Club America waiting on Inter Miami so they can get Messi in Mexico, only to have it be Nashville SC.
Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas wants Copa Libertadores.. 🛑
Focus on the CONCACAF Champions Cup first, another painful elimination.
Messi needs help. This team still lacks legs and stability at the back. #InterMiamiCF 🦩 #Messi
And Jeter needs to check himself, plenty have played both and think the WBC clears.
World Series, Super Bowls, World Cup Finals, etc., all have become corporate.
They are now inaccessible to the very people who make these atmospheres great.
Matt Turner, Gio Reyna, Scally, Cardoso, Agyememang, and Antonee are back.
Zendejas, Musah (still), and Luna are out.
Haji, Adams, and Dest are injured.
This is your World Cup pool. For one of these six players to make it, they replace whom? #USMNT

Keylor Navas will turn 40 this year, and he remains by far the best goalkeeper in CONCACAF. 🧤
The gulf between him and the next is massive.

New Jersey’s Pellegrino Matarazzo has done it! Leading Real Sociedad to the Copa del Rey Final!
No American coach has ever managed a final at this level.
9W-3D-1L record since taking over. 🔥
Brian Gutierrez scores his goal.
Molero or not, it’s crazy that three Mexican-Americans start a game for Mexico four months before the World Cup, and two of them score. 🇲🇽
The xenophobs aren’t going to like this.
This is not hyperbole.
Since Richy Ledezma made his debut with Mexico, he’s been one of the best, if not the best, player in each of El Tri’s games.
Scores his goal. World Cup bound? 🇲🇽
