The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) is set to announce its 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in New York City. Ahead of this official announcement, leaked information revealed the roster, with players learning their fate over the weekend. New manager Mauricio Pochettino adopted a notably impersonal method for informing those who did not make the team, opting to send emails rather than making personal calls, as was done by former manager Gregg Berhalter. This decision has drawn mixed reactions, especially for players like Diego Luna and Aidan Morris, who were previously considered strong contenders. Pochettino's approach reflects his decisive management style but raises concerns about player morale. Ultimately, the success of the USMNT in the tournament will determine whether this method is viewed positively or negatively, as the pressure mounts for Pochettino to deliver results on the world stage.
