"Overall, I think we were better than South Korea, but then if you are not clinical in your own area, and in the opposite box, it's difficult,"
"Because we create more chances, we have the feeling that we control the game."
"I think we were better. Disappointed, of course, because I am very disappointed about the result, but I think overall in the performance ... it's a massive improvement."
The United States men's national team lost 2-0 at home to South Korea in Harrison, New Jersey, with Son Heung-Min and Lee Dong-Gyeong scoring by halftime. Mauricio Pochettino said the team created more chances and had the feeling of controlling the game but lacked clinical finishing in both boxes. The defeat was the fourth shutout loss in 17 matches and the sixth overall this year under Pochettino, extending a two-game losing streak following the Gold Cup final loss to Mexico. Pochettino welcomed back Christian Pulisic, Timothy Weah and Sergiño Dest and used his 14th different lineup in 17 games, with seven friendlies remaining before World Cup selection.
