The USMNT has been left with more questions than answers following a disappointing 2-0 loss to Portugal, marking a second consecutive defeat for the team. The team had been unbeaten in five matches and had seven goals allowed. Despite this, coach Mauricio Pochettino remained optimistic about the team's progress, highlighting defensive lapses and a need for a new lineup. The final 26-man U.S. World Cup roster will be released on May 26. Germany and Senegal remain the only two matches left for the United States before the June 12 opener against Paraguay.
