I needed a good soccer brain to explain why a lot of the same players who struggled to generate scoring chances under Grego Berhalter were tearing it up under Mauricio Pochettino.
@MattDoyle76 of Tactics Free Zone was the ideal person to help.

It's World Cup Day for the #USMNT! That means I've got a tactical preview for you that's... really not about tactics. It's about arriving first to the scrum.

Armchair Analyst: I got drunk and watched the game live, which is why my instant reaction is not-so-instant.
But I was impressed with this #USMNT performance. If you'd offered me these two showings/results 10 days ago, I'd have grabbed them.

🇺🇸 Does Mauricio Pochettino have the United States set up in a back four? Or is it a back three? Spoiler alert: it’s both.

A much-needed win for the #USMNT. @RamosTab worries we look more like an all-star team than a cohesive unit. @MattDoyle76 @tombogert
