WORLD CUP | Pochettino says US ready for Bosnia and Herzegovina after topping Group D

Mauricio Pochettino said the United States were ready for Wednesday’s last-32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina after finishing first in Group D, despite a 3-2 loss to Turkey in their final group game. He criticized questions about the defeat, calling it a “dead-rubber” and “weird,” and pointed to the US’s earlier results: a 4-1 win over Paraguay and a 2-0 victory over Australia that secured top spot, according to Yahoo Sports.
