Mauricio Pochettino It was supposed to be the American football savior. Instead, it may head the demise of the national team.
With Poittino watching from the side lines, the national team stumbled through its second loss without life in four days on Sunday, where it decreased to Canada 2-1 in third place of Concacaf State Association Before a quiet small crowd in a Sufi stadium.
The goals of Canada, one in every half, came from Tani Owasey and Jonathan David. The American result came from Patrick Ajmang.
The United States will open the World Cup on the same stadium in less than 15 months, but on Sunday played with a vacant house. The team’s effort was empty as the stadium.
After the shy performance on Thursday in a semi -finals loss against Panama, the United States needed a big bounce, so Poittino made six changes in the squad, giving defender Max AFstin and midfielder Diego Luna and Ajmang, striker, the first competitive start at the highest level. Cameron Carter Vicars and Mark McKenzi also used the middle and pushed Joe Sakali across the field to the right.
Meanwhile, Canada was forced to cancel any game plan in the 12th minute when Bayern Munich stumbled back Alfonso Davis, its best player, with injury. This does not matter much with oluwaseyi with Giving Canada to 1-0 in the 27th minute, and collected a shot from David at the top of the six-year-old box and pushed it to the past US goalkeeper Matt Turner.
The sequence began with Ali Ahmed bending a left cross in the middle of the box of David, whose shot struck McKenize and rose forward to Oluwasey.
The United States corresponds to eight minutes later, and with most of the European stars in Europe there are largely missing at work, it fell to two new beginners Poittino from MLS to achieve this. After passing through the traffic on the left on a large scale, McKinsey sent a low pass to the box to Luna, who plays in Real Sultan Lake. After defender Derek Cornellius drew him, Luna then threw the ball for Charlotte FC, who was over the right leg of the right leg of St. Saint Claire goalkeeper and at the goal.
Oluassi missed a golden opportunity to restore the initiative to Canada in the 52nd minute when he collected another deviation off Mackenzie in the penalty area, but his left shot in an open network was high. After less than two minutes, the Canadian counter attack was spoiled by a difficult treatment in the box.
Mexican referee Katie Garcia indicated to continue playing, as Canadian coach Jesse Marsh, who felt that Garcia denied his kick on his team, led to accusation to the technical area and withdrawing a red card.
David made this reduction in the 59th minute, as he took a ball from Ahmed near the right edge of the penalty area, where it is going to create a separation from McKenzi, then dug the left foot in the back of the network.
After that, Canada spent half an hour in a wave of desperate US attacks that saw only one shot to Saint Claire.
Poittino, who trained three of the club’s best teams in Europe for success, lost two consecutive, and three of his last seven games with the United States did not coach them at the international level before he took over the American team in October, to replace Greg Bierleter, the best coach of men in football history in the United States. Berhleter was evoked after the United States was eliminated in the team playing of Copa America last summer.
