Mauricio Pochettino comments on USMNT avoiding Argentina in World Cup

Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the U.S. Men's National Team, reacted to the team's avoidance of Argentina in the World Cup knockout stage. After winning Group D, the USMNT will face Bosnia-Herzegovina on July 1 in Santa Clara, with a possible subsequent matchup against Belgium or Senegal. Pochettino humorously noted that Argentina is on the other side of the bracket, allowing his team a chance to potentially face them only in the final. Argentina has demonstrated strength in the tournament, currently holding a +7 goal differential and only allowing one goal in the group stage.
