Pochettino pleased but urges caution

The 54-year-old coach, who first and foremost wanted to thank the supporters, said: "The team's performance was very good, but it is only one win, just three points... We still have a lot to improve, and the road is long."

Fans hailed as the team's driving force

Speaking about the fans, he added: "They were the key players in the match," adding, "We can achieve great things if they continue in this way."

Electric atmosphere in Inglewood

The atmosphere at the modern stadium in Inglewood, which has a capacity of more than 70,000 spectators, cost $5.5 billion, and opened in 2020, was highly enthusiastic, with fans enjoying the level of performance delivered by the US national team.

Turning pressure into energy

The former coach of English clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, as well as French club Paris Saint-Germain, continued: "We have spoken a great deal with the players over the past few weeks to find the key to turning expectations and pressure into energy. This has been our approach since the first day we started working together."

Pulisic substitution raises questions

The only concern on the evening was Pochettino's decision to substitute star player Christian Pulisic, who had been outstanding up to that point, at half-time.
