Herculez Gomez
September 2025

Herculez Gomez slammed the USMNT’s 2-0 loss to South Korea, calling it an “abysmal performance” and criticising Pochettino’s inability to win against FIFA top-30 nations. He highlighted tactical shortcomings, poor selections, and a lack of identity under the Argentine coach. Gomez pointed to a pattern of defeats against Mexico, Canada, Panama, Turkey, Switzerland, and South Korea as evidence of systemic failure. He accused Pochettino of failing to build a recognisable system or evaluate talent effectively, leaving the team directionless ahead of qualifiers.
