Time marches on: what the next three years will bring for the USMNT

The USMNT's journey is uncertain as it navigates the aftermath of a spirited but ultimately disappointing World Cup performance. With Mauricio Pochettino's contract expiring and US Soccer's extension offer pending, the future of the team hangs in the balance. Matt Crocker's sudden departure to Saudi Arabia as sporting director adds to the confusion about the direction of American soccer. As the team looks ahead to the 2030 World Cup cycle, these changes could have significant implications for its rebuilding efforts and overall trajectory in international soccer.
