Pochettino avoids European hurdle talk before Bosnia
The head coach of the U.S. national team, Mauricio Pochettino, dismissed the belief that his team suffers from a "European curse" ahead of their match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, emphasizing that recent results against European Union teams were merely "coincidences." He clarified that the upcoming game would be a new challenge for the team, noting that the United States played tough matches against some of Europe's top teams in their preparations for the tournament. Meanwhile, Bosnia's coach considers the American team to be the most favored due to their high world ranking and home advantage. The two teams will meet on Wednesday in San Francisco, as the U.S. aims to advance closer to the tournament's final stages, while the Bosnian team seeks to continue its surprising run in its first-ever appearance in the knockout rounds.
