The U.S. men's national team lost 1 -0 to Panama in the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League ( CNL ) Mauricio Pochettino has little time and few opportunities to turn things around.
The USMNT 's lack of aggression to start matches, especially when the opposition cedes possession, remains a problem.
The return of several injured players would greatly help the USmNT cause.
The U.S. had 32 touches in the Panamanian penalty area in the first half .
That's 12th in the USMNT 's past 35 games.
Some players are proving not as capable as their club reputations dictated at one point.
Pochettino needs to create competitive tension for playing time.
Sunday 's game against Canada will be an opportunity to put those lessons into practice.
