The United States head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, refuses to place any limits on his team's ambitions in this home 2026 World Cup.

Following a commanding 4-1 victory over Paraguay, the American manager delivered an especially bold message. Mauricio Pochettino wants to win the 2026 World Cup with the host nation.

"We have to dream without limits. If I dream of reaching the moon, maybe I'll get close. If I only dream of getting close, I'll stay on Earth. Why not us? It's important to believe." said the Argentine in an interview with The Athletic.
