AUSTIN, Texas — Mauricio Pochettino arrived at Q2 Stadium to see posters and banners with his face around the grandstand and behind a goal.
Pochettino was given a contract through the 2026 World Cup that the U.S. will co-host and is tasked with sparking a team that has not reached the World Cup quarterfinals since 2002.
But when a new coach is coming, for sure a victory, and that’s what happened,” Panama coach Thomas Christiansen said.
Mexican referee Katia Garcia was believed to be the first woman to referee a U.S. men’s national team match.
Goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who hasn’t played for the U.S. since the last World Cup qualifiers in March 2022, did not dress because of what the U.S. Soccer Federation said was a minor injury.
