THE BREAKDOWN

USMNT Loses Big As Path Forward Remains Murky

What Happened: A promising World Cup run by the U.S. men's national team came to an abrupt end last night at the hands of a superior Belgium team. The concern now — can this trip to the round of 16 be built upon?

Why You Care: One reason for optimism is the sheer number of USMNT players who ply their trade in some of the world's top soccer leagues. No longer is the team full of MLS jobbers (although some of those remain.) Being represented in England's Premier League, La Liga in Spain, Serie A in Italy, Ligue 1 in France, and Germany's Bundesliga points to a crop of players competing at the game's highest levels. More work to be done, obviously, but this is encouraging.

Two concerns after last night though, one that shouldn’t be a long-term one, and one that is going to be a real challenge to address.

Goalkeeper Matt Freese, one of the aforementioned MLS jobbers, didn't inspire much confidence heading into last night's match with Belgium. He was in net for three of America's four World Cup matches, and while he kept a clean sheet against Australia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, his command in the box looked shaky and every shot on net was an adventure. Backup Matt Turner got his chance against Türkiye and let three goals in, so there really was nowhere to turn. Maybe it's time to explore the non-Matt talent pool?

Team USA has been able to develop legit goalies in the past, so poor play in this World Cup aside, it shouldn’t be a lingering problem. What will linger, however, is the status of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach.

Understandably, Pochettino didn't want to address his future last night, encouraging fans to "keep believing" but declining to speak about his job status. He did leave the door open to talks with U.S. Soccer.

My guess? Pochettino returns to high-level club soccer. He seemed to enjoy the challenge of taking over this U.S. team, and he made a genuine connection with fans along the way. But Poch has also coached at some of the world's biggest soccer clubs, and the national team cycle is a slow one, with much time between matches and player availability frequently an issue, to say nothing about the pay bump he'll experience.

The hole left by Pochettino will be the largest and toughest to fill. It’s crucial to maintain momentum and also build off this promising but ultimately disappointing WC performance. The wrong hire can easily damage the progress that’s been made. It’s not an easy hire to nail, but that’s the most pressing issue U.S. Soccer will face, even after the sting of that loss to Belgium fades.

Keep An Eye On...

Nikola Jokić’s contract status!

Let’s just get ahead of it and say that Jokić is almost certain to re-sign with the Denver Nuggets next offseason. They can offer him more money, he’s expressed his desire to be a one-team man, and the team gets built around him. I don’t think this is going the way of Giannis and the Bucks anytime soon.

And yet! The Serbian big man is right now eligible to sign a four-year, $278 million extension with the Nuggets. Wait until next offseason and the deal on the table will be for five years and $359.5 million. No brainer if my math is correct.

So sure, Jokić wants to wait for the bigger payday, that’s fine. But is there a little worry in Denver? Since winning the title in 2022-23, the Nugs twice lost in the semifinals of the Western Conference before failing to win even one playoff series this past season. Is Joker worried about the front office’s ability to build another winner? Until he puts pen to paper, that’ll be a lingering concern.

Who will win the Golden Boot award?

Lionel Messi — 44%

1K+ fans weighed in

Today will tell us a lot about the state of this race. Mbappé actually leads the way — he is tied with Messi and Haaland with seven goals each, but has an edge in the tiebreaker, which is assists. (Mbappé has two, Messi and Haaland both have zero.) But Messi has a game in hand, so if he can score today against Egypt, he'll indeed be the favorite again.

Vamo,

Jimmy
