On Saturday, the U.S. men’s national team will face Venezuela in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The friendly is an opportunity for the United States to build positive momentum under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

With many of the top USMNT players overseas, a young American squad more than holds its own in a 3-1 win.

If Mauricio Pochettino wanted more US men’s national team squad options, he got them in Saturday’s 3-1 friendly win over Venezuela.

The U.S. men's national team is without Christian Pulisic for its first match of 2025 against Venezuela.

The U.S. won for the fourth time in five matches since Pochettino took over as head coach last year, including 3-0 at home.

The United States men's national team plays the first of their two January international friendlies on Jan. 18 taking on Venezuela.

Patrick Agyemang and Matko Miljevic scored in their international debuts, Jack McGlynn got his first national team goal and the United States beat Venezuela 3-1 in a friendly between teams missing their regular starters.

Mauricio Pochettino has left the door open for Lionel Messi’s sons to represent the USMNT, but admits they have the “Argentine blood” of their father.

Mauricio Pochettino said Matko Miljevic apologized to Jack McGlynn after taking a penalty away in Saturday's 3-1 USMNT win over Venezuela.
