00:00:00Coming up next is the Volkswagen halftime show downstairs with Sarah Walsh, DeMarcus Beasley and Brian Dunseff.
00:00:14Tim Weyer's actually been playing left back for Marseille.
00:00:18Yeah, obviously it's great when Tim Weyer's getting starts, but he's winger.
00:00:23I love seeing Tim Weyer when he can pick up the ball.
00:00:27You know, look at his defender, whether it's an outside back, a center back, a midfielder,
00:00:32and just take a ball, just have that a reference, and, you know, it's different,
00:00:37especially when he was in Italy and Howard Jose, when you're thinking defensively and you pick up the ball,
00:00:44you're just not as aggressive.
00:00:45Paul Paul Ford here in towards the edge of the box as it's cushioned down for Son.
00:00:49Will Holtam will hold over Son.
00:00:52Back to the bike.
00:00:54And they fall back in Jun Yu.
00:00:57Son on the edge of the box.
00:00:59Good link up play.
00:01:00So Chaps for Son, he goes down, and the back heel flick goes in from Lee Dong-Yong.
00:01:07Son involved once again, and the lead doubled for South Korea.
00:01:11He's got to see if it wasn't a goal that made a bit of a penalty anyway.
00:01:26Look at how much time he has.
00:01:28I'd have to see if it wasn't a goal that made a bit of penalty anyway.
00:01:33Just look at how much time he has.
00:01:34Just too much time on the ball.
00:01:36And this is what?
00:01:37Three touches.
00:01:38Some is wide open.
00:01:40I mean, there wasn't a player touched until the potential penalty kick.
00:01:44And just watch right here.
00:01:46It's just completely unacceptable for some to be that wide open.
00:01:50The most dangerous player on the field.
00:01:52A wonderful combination.
00:01:54And so quick there for South Korea.
00:01:57But it's just impossible 30 yards out from your goal for players to have that much time
00:02:02to have those little interchanges.
00:02:05But just...
00:02:07So Sun with the first goal and involved in the build-up to the second.
00:02:21Scored by Lee Donnyan.
00:02:24Lee Donnyan's third international goal.
00:02:27Sun got his 52nd in what is his 135th cap.
00:02:32But the United States now two down.
00:02:3690 seconds of stoppage time away from half-time.
00:02:40It hasn't been a bad performance from Maurizio Pochettino's side,
00:02:43but they have just been on a couple of occasions cut open too easily.
00:02:46Well, it's just, it's definitely been below the level in terms of where the threat is.
00:02:53I mean, Sun, it's a player that just cannot get this many opportunities to be that open.
00:02:58I mean, it's the long ball over the top of the mat.
00:03:00I mean, to have a free touch right outside of the 18.
00:03:03And the player that plays it, there's no arm on him.
00:03:07And Sun plays the ball one time.
00:03:10It's just, we talked about South Korea always having a foot in,
00:03:13always having an arm in it.
00:03:14In that circumstance, I understand maybe a little further up the field
00:03:17if you're playing a media block or playing a more block,
00:03:20there's no way there'd be that many touches without competition.
00:03:23South Korea ranked number 23 in the world.
00:03:29The U.S. ranked 15.
00:03:34South Korea in confident movement.
00:03:42Sargent.
00:03:44Yeah, that little one-two, I know it's a tiny thing,
00:03:47but Bishop Pulisic plays one-two.
00:03:48And they're gasped.
00:03:49They're working really hard off the ball,
00:03:51and South Korea's moving them around.
00:03:52But he told them, too.
00:03:54There's always just an obstruction.
00:03:57The obstruction first is locking passing lanes.
00:04:00Next, it's putting pressure on the ball.
00:04:02Next, it's just making contact on a U.S. player
00:04:04after they release the ball.
00:04:06All those things add up to unsettling you
00:04:09and making you want to play negative
00:04:10or taking high-risk chances with the ball and turning it over.
00:04:15Tyler Adams.
00:04:18Final was his 50th cap for the U.S.
00:04:20Back and away down the right side towards Dest.
00:04:23Next, it's a play there from Christian Pulisic.
00:04:32Minitai Sox still down after the challenge
00:04:34as the U.S. won it back right on halfway.
00:04:38Diego Luna, a minute through the two being added on
00:04:40at the end of the half.
00:04:41Wasn't much on for Luna there.
00:04:44Lovely pull through here towards Christian Pulisic.
00:04:47He wanted a corner, I think, for a free kick.
00:04:50No, he wants a foul.
00:04:51This is exactly what I mean.
00:04:53Just watch on the replay.
00:04:54This is a foul, but it is done so subtly,
00:04:56and it has happened all the way over the field.
00:04:59But watch the little pull on Pulisic's shoulder
00:05:01right as he's getting ready to hit this ball.
00:05:03And this is the type of thing, just right there,
00:05:05slight little touch, and the referee,
00:05:07whether he should see that or be in position or not,
00:05:10is not the point.
00:05:11Those type of arm checks and jersey grabs
00:05:14and elbows into the ribs of players
00:05:16is happening everywhere for a second.
00:05:19Mauricio Pochettino and his assistant, Jesus Perez,
00:05:22pleading that case to the fourth official.
00:05:25Shoving Green of Guyana.
00:05:33And the whistle goes to bring an end
00:05:35to this first half at Sports Illustrated Stadium
00:05:38here in Harrison, New Jersey.
00:05:43Son heavily involved in the first 45 minutes.
00:05:47He had a goal in the 18th minute
00:05:49to give South Korea the lead
00:05:51and then assisted on the second goal
00:05:53scored by Lee Dong-Yong
00:05:54two minutes before halftime.
00:05:56And at the break,
00:05:57United States nil,
00:05:58Korea Republic 2,
00:05:59U.S. soccer on TNT
00:06:01is presented by Spring Hill Suites by Marriott.
00:06:03Okay, Brian, craziest touchdown ever.
00:06:13Tennessee Titans, Music City Miracle.
00:06:15Tyson snags it, starts running like he's double parked.
00:06:18What does a play like that do to the locker room, though?
00:06:19Man, it's everything.
00:06:21Second to double, the United States
00:06:23making their way back out here.
00:06:24No changes for South Korea.
00:06:26It looks right now as if it's the same 11
00:06:28that will be starting the second half.
00:06:30Maurizio Pochettino's side as well.
00:06:33What would the message have been, Kyle?
00:06:36I mean, the standards have to be higher, right?
00:06:40I mean, it's not...
00:06:41It's not a performance littered with low quality or mistakes.
00:06:45It's just little moments.
00:06:46And it was gradually after that first 25 minutes
00:06:49that was, I thought, really good from the U.S.
00:06:52slowly letting that standard drop.
00:06:54And now it's just response.
00:06:56And the response has to happen from on the field.
00:06:58I see Tim Green going and talking to several players.
00:07:01I want to see who steps for South Korea.
00:07:03They will play in Nashville on Tuesday against Mexico.
00:07:07And they're off to a good start in this international window.
00:07:10The U.S. will head to Columbus to take on Japan
00:07:12as picked up here by Lee Jae-sung.
00:07:16And now the play for a South Korean throw.
00:07:21Eighth all-time meeting between these two nations.
00:07:24Two wins for the U.S.
00:07:25Three defeats and two draws.
00:07:27The U.S. unbeaten their last three.
00:07:29The U.S. unbeaten their last three.
00:07:59Sun coming across to the near side to take this one.
00:08:13Second corner of the game for South Korea.
00:08:19Good ball in from Sun.
00:08:20Headed away by Josh Sargent.
00:08:21All the way towards the halfway line.
00:08:23Picked up here by Lee Jae-sung.
00:08:26Down the left it comes for Sun.
00:08:30Sun coming in's ball in off.
00:08:32Berhalter and out of play.
00:08:34It goes here for a throw.
00:08:36Sebastian Berhalter.
00:08:3824-year-old.
00:08:39Raised in Ohio.
00:08:43Born in London, England.
00:08:47Interesting on a day when Michael Bradley is honoured.
00:08:49The U.S. international midfielder
00:08:51whose dad also coached the team.
00:08:54Sebastian Berhalter's dad also coached the team.
00:08:57And is in the stands here for this one today in New Jersey.
00:09:10The U.S. have lost four in a row before the Gold Cup.
00:09:19There is Jürgen Klinsmann.
00:09:23Talked to us this week about the composition of a World Cup squad.
00:09:31He's really trying to get back and almost picked up.
00:09:35There it is.
00:09:35On the far side by Lee Jae-sung.
00:09:37Back it comes here towards Kim Jong-un.
00:09:45Jürgen Klinsmann talked about how sometimes it's about character.
00:09:48It's about finding the best squad that fits together.
00:09:50Not necessarily just who's there that can play different roles.
00:09:55Who can lift the spirit when things are going wrong.
00:09:57Just to make sure everything is covered and you have the best mix of players that can work well together.
00:10:01We also said who can solve problems.
00:10:02Yeah.
00:10:03I think that's the big thing that this is an opportunity.
00:10:06My dad has a great saying.
00:10:07If you can't fix it, feature it.
00:10:08Okay, so you're 2-0 down.
00:10:09And a lot of the performance is not of the standard that you like.
00:10:13But there's been great moments.
00:10:14Who's out there is going to not look over to the side?
00:10:17And the Mikes man who scored five goals in World Cup qualifying.
00:10:22And Minkinship since starting 3 of 4 at the World Cup is probably going to have his day ended early.
00:10:27The Guamman, Kyle Martino in the broadcast booth.
00:10:29And let's get down pitch side to Melissa.
00:10:31I got to speak.
00:10:32The effectivity, both offensively and defensively.
00:10:35The team needs to be more aggressive in both facets of the game.
00:10:39And more specifically, on the defensive side.
00:10:41We need to be more so because we're 2-0.
00:10:43We're down 2-0 because of that.
00:10:52So South Korea will be forced into a change here.
00:10:55Well, I guess the good news is that at least it's not the king in who's coming in.
00:11:121-0.
00:11:22Beijing Ho, the player to replace Lee Jae Sung.
00:11:29That's the first change is made by South Korea.
00:11:35Beijing Ho, who plays in the English Championship with Stoke, had a couple of assists.
00:11:38Really big young talent, he was part of the South Korea squad
00:11:44that finished fourth at the under-20 World Cup in 2023.
00:11:58Walk down here in the midfield by Ligon Yon.
00:12:03Here he is again, just a 13th cap.
00:12:05The 27-year-old attacking midfielder.
00:12:08It's a great day for Joel, the South Korean goalkeeper.
00:12:22Veteran shot-stopper has not faced much today.
00:12:25And here comes Son, that three's racing clear to get there, just ahead of Sonhoff.
00:12:30I mean, Son was in his own half, so it doesn't matter even if he did.
00:12:33But he gets left.
00:12:35Playing the U.S., of course, along the way.
00:12:38Arsken gets across, slides in, and gets there just ahead of Son.
00:12:43Yeah, I mean, Son's just determining where that back line's conversation point is.
00:12:50I mean, he just dragged Riem all the way into the midfield.
00:12:53And it obviously spins off, and Arsken reads it well.
00:12:55But I mean, Son, one forward is dictating, really, the posture and the positioning of four players for the U.S.
00:13:03As the sergeant's had a really tough time, obviously, against a back three.
00:13:07He didn't do anything to unsettle those guys.
00:13:16Keeping Jay.
00:13:19Leehan Bomb down the right side, flying Saul.
00:13:24In towards Luna with a little bit of space here.
00:13:26Luna tries to play that one out to Pulisic on the left side.
00:13:29He's up against Leehan Bomb.
00:13:34Pulisic towards the byline.
00:13:35Can you get a cross into the middle?
00:13:38Luna chasing, but it's hooked away there by Kim Jong-Yu.
00:13:46A rare foray forward from the United States here in the 54th minute.
00:13:52Adams.
00:13:58Arsken finds Luna.
00:13:59Luna towards Sargent.
00:14:02All the way back out for Tristan.
00:14:05Dest up against Nitei Sarkins.
00:14:09Dest still going.
00:14:10The flag goes up.
00:14:12Dest wanted a free kick.
00:14:13The decision is a corner.
00:14:18Second corner of the game for the U.S.
00:14:22Dest, good change of pace here.
00:14:26Really tells that game often.
00:14:28He's got a chance to get isolated.
00:14:35I think that's one of the only times that South Korea hasn't had someone come over and help defensively.
00:14:41And they've been able to get tested.
00:14:43Sebastian Berhalter assisting Chris Richards goals in the Gold Cup against Saudi Arabia in the group.
00:14:49And Mexico in the final.
00:14:50Here he is standing over this corner.
00:14:52The right foot out swinging towards the six-yard box headed firmly away there by Kim Joo-Sung.
00:14:59It's a sixth cap for the defender on the left side of the three at the back.
00:15:03But the six goes down with the challenge of Lee.
00:15:05A little bit more positive from the U.S. here as we reach the 10-minute mark in the second half.
00:15:17He's so great at just doing this baiting players and then getting a little lift on the ball.
00:15:21You know, just inviting the leg out.
00:15:23You can see just scoops it up slightly.
00:15:25It's a really good opportunity here for the U.S.
00:15:27Berhalter over the free kick once more.
00:15:38He talked about his impressive ability from set-pieces in the first half.
00:15:45Showing that for both club and country.
00:15:51Berhalter's delivery this time out of the way at the front post.
00:15:57All the way back, he comes towards Aston.
00:16:03Berhalter finds Luna.
00:16:07Pulisic able to get there first.
00:16:09And Blackman with a little flip back into the path of Pulisic.
00:16:12We're in space down the left side.
00:16:14Up against Sol Young.
00:16:15We're cutting inside and goes to the goal.
00:16:18He finds almost the upper tier.
00:16:21But he's gone downhill.
00:16:22He reached for Fred Armstrong immediately after.
00:16:25He released the ball.
00:16:30Puchetino turned around to the bench.
00:16:31It looks like Zendayas set the ball up.
00:16:40It's closing the first half about the fact that he's playing left-back right now for Marseille.
00:16:45Having made the move, Tim Ware, as we just get another look at that effort.
00:16:49Went down straight after the shot.
00:16:51Puchetino, in his first squad since the Nations League in March.
00:16:58Played 72 minutes at left-back against Lyon on Sunday.
00:17:03Appearances in the first three.
00:17:10It's his son.
00:17:14The record-winning it forward.
00:17:16Back to the substitute.
00:17:23Back to the substitute.
00:17:26And you son forward from his left central defensive position.
00:17:32Like some hole.
00:17:33There's the 23-year-old, Lee Han-Wa.
00:17:58It's the second count.
00:18:01Over defender.
00:18:02Lee Han-Wa once again.
00:18:04Down the right side to Sean.
00:18:05It's his seventh count.
00:18:06As he pushes it up towards that right touchline.
00:18:10Big side for Kim Jong-Yu.
00:18:12The ball played through the middle.
00:18:13Very well-chase.
00:18:15And that's able to get back there and help it back towards Matt Fries.
00:18:20Fries beats twice in the first half by Sonny the 18th by Lee Dong-Yong.
00:18:24Wonderful watch.
00:18:26The movement, the understanding of the player's third.
00:18:29Third runs that are happening well in advance of players expecting to be brought into sequences.
00:18:37And it's just been a real masterclass, especially in transition.
00:18:43Now Adams.
00:18:45Adams with the ball through.
00:19:03Looking for the run of Josh Sargent's.
00:19:04Across goes Kim Min-Jae.
00:19:07Sargent with support over there from Koola Singh does well to win that.
00:19:11I think it's a throw by the corner flag.
00:19:13Maybe it's a corner.
00:19:14That's good from Sargent.
00:19:16They've got to drag him out of the middle.
00:19:18He's a player that has had the game in front of him.
00:19:21He's been really comfortable.
00:19:22He's been really relaxed.
00:19:23Relaxed.
00:19:24See if you can drag him into wide positions.
00:19:33A quadruple change coming from Maurizio Pochettino.
00:19:38Lifted into the front post.
00:19:39Sons the run to clear it away.
00:19:41Balogun will be coming on.
00:19:43See Christian Roldan down there getting ready as well.
00:19:46Freeman is one of the other substitutes.
00:19:58And Trish Richards as well.
00:20:01He's okay, but ever since that movement, he was out of the full stride.
00:20:07He reached back a few times to try to stretch it out.
00:20:10It's nothing serious.
00:20:11When you wash with Snuggle, your loved ones will feel at home.
00:20:23On center stage, at the school dance, or away from home.
00:20:27Cuddly softness.
00:20:28Long-lasting, familiar freshness.
00:20:30That's the Snuggle promise.
00:20:32Snuggle, the comfort of home.
00:20:34Continuing here for Tim Weyer as Maurizio Pochettino stands giving some instructions to Tim Ream
00:20:43as we wait to see how things look when the changes are made.
00:20:49Tim Weyer will be leading the game.
00:20:53Also Tyler Adams.
00:20:58Josh Sargent.
00:20:59And presumably Serginio Dest.
00:21:03Yes, it is.
00:21:04It will be Freeman for Dest, the straight swap, but right back when this change happens.
00:21:07But they're just tending to Tim Weyer right now.
00:21:14Concern over the Marseille man here at the hour mark.
00:21:21What a chance for Christian Roldan.
00:21:22A late call-up, the Seattle Sounders man.
00:21:24Maurizio Pochettino and his staff have been scouting, watching a lot of MLS games.
00:21:31Roldan wasn't originally named in the squad, but was brought in because of his performances.
00:21:36Obviously, Sanders doing so well in League's Cup of late.
00:21:42But a big chance here for Roldan.
00:21:44That's what I was saying earlier in the three-game show.
00:21:48It is, listen, would you like there to be more players that have solidified their opportunity
00:21:55in the World Cup based on play, based on come on the U.S.?
00:21:57Of course.
00:21:58But the silver lining is that seriously convinced Pochettino.
00:22:04And it's not until May that Pochettino has an extended amount of time with players in camp.
00:22:09So I was talking about that January game.
00:22:11I mean, there are players at home that haven't gotten that done in a while.
00:22:16You come in, Diego Luna is an example.
00:22:18You come in, you put together a few good performances.
00:22:21There's just not a lot of time, not a lot of opportunities to prove something to Pochettino left.
00:22:26Yeah, Pochettino hasn't said it directly.
00:22:28He, he, he's a match.
00:22:31Leaves the game.
00:22:33On comes Jens Castro.
00:22:38It's a debut for him.
00:22:43Son with a goal and an assist today.
00:22:47Makes way after 63 minutes.
00:22:50An incredible first-half impact.
00:22:53As Oh Young-Q comes on.
00:22:58And the last change we'll see.
00:23:02Lee Kang-In coming in.
00:23:06You can hear what the crowd thinks of him.
00:23:09This is a really fun player to watch.
00:23:11Super dynamic.
00:23:13Great left foot.
00:23:14Excellent 1v1.
00:23:21Lee Dong-Yong was the last player to make way.
00:23:24So now, it's Riem on the left of the back line with Richards in the middle and Blackman on the right.
00:23:29It's Freeman playing in the right-wing back role.
00:23:31Arfston on the left side.
00:23:36Looks like Roldan sits in with Berhalter.
00:23:44He's still in that advanced role.
00:23:45Pulisic here in the central position.
00:23:47This is Blackman down the right side.
00:23:50Finds Alex Freeman.
00:23:51Freeman, the Orlando City full-back coming on.
00:23:57There's 8th cap.
00:24:0138th cap for Christian Roldan.
00:24:03And you can see it.
00:24:04It's just sending those midfield runs in behind.
00:24:09Got to force that back 3 to make some decisions.
00:24:11Can't just be one run.
00:24:13Like a down the right side.
00:24:15Hold back to Luna.
00:24:16Balligan also a player that when Maurizio Pochettino originally named the squad, he only named 22 players.
00:24:27And then, a couple days later, Balligan was added.
00:24:29Tries to turn.
00:24:30This is Freeman.
00:24:31Freeman drills it across goal.
00:24:33Wilson couldn't down it there at all.
00:24:35It's goal.
00:24:36Well, Dan got a touch, but it's through to Joe.
00:24:38But this is a little bit positive here from the U.S.
00:24:45Wonderful run from Balligan.
00:24:47Yeah, he takes a look.
00:24:48And this is what I mean about getting him out of that central position.
00:24:52Really well done for Luna to hit that first time.
00:24:54That's a difficult chance.
00:24:55Right after that, they're able to recycle.
00:24:59And now that they've done it, South Korea back on their heels and they can counter press and go get on the ball.
00:25:04It's one of the advantages of moving into this back 3.
00:25:07Now, the disadvantage is going to be the space that's going to be given up in transition, especially wide.
00:25:11Today it was announced that Marizio Pochettino would be moving to beat a new U.S. boss.
00:25:41as they played that night in cincinnati
00:25:48last goal came from the corporate america back in june of 2024 back-to-back games against bolivia
00:25:53and panama well done there from balagon great intensity there to go press the ball
00:26:01that's something that just hasn't happened consistently so far
00:26:12here go luna battling to try and win it back but he tastes so can

00:27:19second game of the group
00:27:23also in the gold cup
00:27:24that year
00:27:29it's a slot down the left
00:27:31picked up here as in june against iraq and kuwait

00:28:07beasley scoring the goal to win the game
00:28:10the u.s was born to be costa rica in the final of the double cup
00:28:22cream is fouled here and another change with alex zendejas getting set to come in here
00:28:27for the u.s the club america man in his first squad since last november
00:28:30we're replacing diego luna and zendejas in his rare opportunities has been great off the bench he's
00:28:39come in and i don't think luna had a bad performance and what a tough day he had never
00:28:44stopped running never stopped working hard in the first half any sequences that looked a little bit
00:28:48dangerous one twos in the midfield and someone trying to force
00:28:56the aggressive posture trying to create things it almost always came from
00:28:59in the first half of the u.s
00:29:03right carrying it forward here as berhalter comes across we see zendejas coming in he was asked this
00:29:08week on media duties if he was frustrated by what happened this summer the fact he wasn't called
00:29:15up to the gold cup he said you just have to respect the decision and work even harder
00:29:20carried forward here by christian pullerson in towards zendejas he's just come off the bench
00:29:25can he make something happen here for the united states
00:29:39blackman steps in
00:30:06The captains aren't that long once again.
00:30:13Richards has been in the Premier League games so far, every minute of the first three Premier League games his third year with Crystal Palace.
00:30:22They won three to Loughbilla before the break. He played 90 minutes in the Community Shield,
00:30:27we're on penalties against Liverpool as well.
00:30:33He has just run into trouble. Has he got a free kick there? He has.
00:30:47Chris Richards making his way forward here.
00:30:49At least now we know as well after the Club World Cup this summer that when his playing career finishes,
00:30:54Chris Richards has got a job as a TV analyst waiting for him after his TNT duties this summer.
00:31:00He was with us for the semi-finals and the finals across the way in that live stadium.
00:31:06Great to get his insight into those games.
00:31:10He's an impressive, impressive person.
00:31:12He's indefinitely one of us consistent players.
00:31:16He's got a really good chance.
00:31:18And! Oh, just going to Richards!
00:31:22We were just talking about Chris Richards and his impact.
00:31:26And he almost had one there.
00:31:28At the other end.
00:31:30Three goals in his US career.
00:31:35Almost had a fourth.
00:31:39Freeman on the right side.
00:31:43Freeman cuts it in.
00:31:44The way opens up is Dejas who drives it in and that's gone out for a corner.
00:31:48Went off Kim Doo-sung.
00:31:56At the fourth US corner. This time Berhalter goes short.
00:32:00Wilson swinging it into the box.
00:32:05It's a huge threat in the air at set pieces.
00:32:07This is Chris Richards.
00:32:08We saw it in the goal.
00:32:09Come sitting in again now.
00:32:10Oh, that's good.
00:32:11One more four.
00:32:12And there's a slight no-jump Kim that forced him to miss it.
00:32:18And here's the pick from the goalkeeper.
00:32:22The AT&T now count.
00:32:24Good save in the end.
00:32:2526,500 in attendance at Sports Illustrated Stadium today.
00:32:41As we head towards the final 15 minutes in Harrison, New Jersey.
00:32:48Ixon Ho.
00:32:50Three goals in 21 caps.
00:32:51The technical changes definitely helped the United States put a little more pressure higher up the field.
00:33:01Also risked numbers higher up earlier on.
00:33:05I think that's had an impact.
00:33:06But also the lack of Sun.
00:33:07I mean, Sun just a different class and how he makes things difficult for the back line.
00:33:13USA!
00:33:14USA!
00:33:15USA!
00:33:16USA!
00:33:17USA!
00:33:18USA!
00:33:19USA!
00:33:20USA!
00:33:23The US were unbeaten in five matches through the Gold Cup before the loss in the final against Mexico.
00:33:28They won four of six at the Gold Cup.
00:33:30Because Richards gave them the lead in the final, only to fall by two goals to one.
00:33:45279 days until the first US game at the World Cup.
00:33:49Starting today, ten matches for the US, before that first World Cup game.
00:34:02Perencio Pochettino decided to switch to a back three here, which he did actually in that Switzerland game in Nashville.
00:34:07As they run down the left side here, but in the end a run into touch by Bo Jun Ho.
00:34:29Bo Jun Ho coming off the bench.
00:34:37Starting the first four championship games with Stoke City.
00:34:43He was the player of the year.
00:34:46Two seasons ago for Stoke.
00:34:48This is Pulisic.
00:34:49Towards Balogun.
00:34:50Back for Pulisic.
00:34:51He goes down.
00:34:52Free kick coming here.
00:34:53Just outside the penalty area.
00:34:55Balogun, excellent at making it seem like he's going to make those diagonal runs in behind him.
00:35:01Just watch how he just posts up here on Kim.
00:35:03He just leaves it for Bishop Pulisic.
00:35:05Definitely a foul.
00:35:10This one, Christian Pulisic's taken.
00:35:12Berhalter's been on most set pieces, but...
00:35:17Hasn't had a lot of chances in the final third.
00:35:21Jack McGlynn getting set to come on.
00:35:22Just having a few words with Maurizio Pochettino before the change is made.
00:35:29We're hearing he'll come in for Sebastian Berhalter.
00:35:31To this game here.
00:35:33To this game here.
00:35:36In the 78th minute.
00:35:38Zendejas, Pulisic and Berhalter standing over it.
00:35:42It is Christian Pulisic.
00:35:43And here comes the change with Berhalter making way.
00:35:44His race is run.
00:35:45And here comes the change with Berhalter making way.
00:35:49His race is run.
00:35:50Jack McGlynn will come on the Houston man who turned 22 just after the goal cut.
00:35:54from Middle Village, New York.
00:35:55On for a 12 cap.
00:35:56And here comes the change with Berhalter making way.
00:35:57And here comes the change with Berhalter making way.
00:36:10His race is run.
00:36:11The U.S. have looked better since the changes.
00:36:12Many dangerous moments for Joel Hyству, the veteran keeper for South Korea.
00:36:13Jack McGlynn will come on the Houston man who turned 22 just after the Gold Cup from Middle Village, New York. On for a 12 cap.
00:36:31The U.S. have looked better since the changes. Many dangerous moments for Joe Hyukwu, the veteran keeper for South Korea.
00:36:39This is a great game for Levin to come in. Excellent long-range shooter, long-range passer, but just super calm on the ball, too.
00:36:47Hipping up in that double pivot. He can dictate things. The metronome that is super balanced, gets the tempo, but it's also a threat.
00:36:57He can pull right away.
00:37:02Richards.
00:37:03Richards.
00:37:08Pulisic with a positive round forward here. Christian Pulisic turns.
00:37:11Can you get the shot away? Plenty of support, including Freeman.
00:37:20Blackman. Back to McGlynn.
00:37:25Tristan Blackman.
00:37:28Already playing 18 minutes.
00:37:33Which is ball forward.
00:37:40Back it comes to Joe, who will clear towards halfway. Blackman underneath it.
00:37:46Blackman already creating a bit of U.S. national team history with his call-up.
00:37:51The first time that Thomas Muller has ever revealed a U.S. men's national team pick.
00:37:56Green with the ball forward here towards Balogun.
00:37:58North Balogun.
00:38:00Probably last time, too.
00:38:02Now it drops in the box.
00:38:03Pulisic couldn't find a way through.
00:38:04It's McGlynn.
00:38:08For a moment, it looked like it.
00:38:13And a free kick coming here for South Korea, and a yellow card will be shown towards Zendejas.
00:38:18It just goes to ground super late on this one.
00:38:28You like to see the intensity, though.
00:38:31I mean, that is definitely one of the substitutes.
00:38:34Hold on, for sure.
00:38:35Zendejas, now Richards.
00:38:36Just the commitment to go close the ball down has moved up a level.
00:38:41Obviously, they've got the fresh legs, but we didn't see a lot of that consistently from the U.S. in the first half.
00:38:49The Thomas Muller story, for those who weren't aware, was a post-game press conference with Vancouver, having just moved from Bayern, of course, to Major League Soccer.
00:38:59And it kind of slipped out from Thomas Muller that Tristan Blackman had been called up before Maurizio Pochettino had named the squad.
00:39:07Muller congratulated Blackman, and Blackman said he'd already left the building before he realized what had happened.
00:39:14And when he got home and checked his phone, it was blowing up with all the congratulations messages that this message had got out from Thomas Muller.
00:39:21It's not exactly how you want it to happen, but get over it quickly.
00:39:25Played forward as it drops down towards Blackman, who plays towards halfway.
00:39:30A double change coming for South Korea.
00:39:34And you'll see the last play coming in with John Sangin of Central.
00:39:48It's been a strike.
00:39:55John Sangin coming in for his second cap, scored a goal on his own the other.
00:40:04Big ovation for Kim, Joo Sung, who makes way.
00:40:10Looks as if the other change was Sol Yong-woo, who went off on the far side.
00:40:19Oh!
00:40:20Oh!
00:40:21Oh!
00:40:22Oh!
00:40:23Oh!
00:40:24Oh!
00:40:25Oh!
00:40:26Oh!
00:40:27Oh!
00:40:28Oh!
00:40:29Oh!
00:40:30Oh!
00:40:31Oh!
00:40:32Oh!
00:40:33Oh!
00:40:34Oh!
00:40:35Oh!
00:40:36Oh!
00:40:37Oh!
00:40:39The second half display from Maurizio Pochettino's side.
00:40:42Lovely pull through from Richards to find Zendejas.
00:40:44Oh, the keeper who clears towards halfway.
00:40:47Ordan is there. Richards has come a long way as well.
00:40:50Richards gets there in the challenge.
00:40:54That's a free kick in against him.
00:41:09Asian Federer's was 2-0 in Germany against Japan in September of 2022
00:41:17in the build-up to the Qatar World Cup.
00:41:19They've won four in a row against the AFC.
00:41:21Most recently, Saudi Arabia in the Gold Cup.
00:41:25He's out on the far side for a throw.
00:41:33The majority of the crowd is waiting to see the net ripple.
00:41:37Wonderful finish.
00:41:38He's actually a complete handful his entire time on the field.
00:41:43Lovely finish to get things started.
00:41:48It's up here by Balogun.
00:41:52Zendejas, even in space to the right side.
00:41:55Zendejas purposely moves forward and clips that one in towards the back.
00:41:59Pochettino's from behind here.
00:42:01Austin couldn't get there as it's cleared away for a corner.
00:42:06And Pulisic is now down.
00:42:08Pulisic, you can see him top of the box right there.
00:42:28Just runs into the back of the defender.
00:42:30It seems to be all right.
00:42:33Yes, they've made all their changes.
00:42:34Pulisic is okay anyway here with a four minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
00:42:41Aftrop gets it further clear as South Korea were able to defend well.
00:42:46Zendejas on the right side.
00:42:47Zendejas rolls it in towards Roldan.
00:42:49Here's Austin.
00:42:55Cleaning on the right touch side.
00:43:00Roldan.
00:43:03The Orlando pullback down the right side.
00:43:04Tried to clip that cross in and Zendejas just couldn't quite get there.
00:43:08Zendejas was scrambling to get across to the far side.
00:43:10The keeper.
00:43:12Zendejas wasn't too far away from making contact.
00:43:14And this will be cleared away on the far touchline by Lee Hanbom.
00:43:19That might have been the first overlapping run we've seen.
00:43:23With the U.S. keeping the ball in high possession.
00:43:25You know, it's just these simple things that create opportunities and windows.
00:43:30Has been a better performance since the formation shift.
00:43:33And some of the players that have come off the bench.
00:43:35It's just a little bit too long for the U.S. to get into the game.
00:43:37That's how Gohan brings it forward.
00:43:41Wide to the left.
00:43:42Lee Taiso.
00:43:44Not good on the end of it as Alex Freeman did well to chase back.
00:43:48And block that run on the far side.
00:43:54It's Japan on Tuesday for the U.S.
00:43:58Ecuador and Australia in the October window.
00:44:00Now the Knicks today on the three-game show here.
00:44:10Paraguay and Uruguay in November.
00:44:15Games in Chester, Pennsylvania.
00:44:18Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
00:44:20Big test.
00:44:22Great competition to get when you need to find out
00:44:25some really important things about the character of the team,
00:44:29and the capabilities of the team, down the stretch.
00:44:39Kim Tai Gon.
00:44:42Back inside there from Lee Taisok.
00:44:44Comes across here for Richards.
00:44:47McGlynn brings it down.
00:44:49That's the way the free kick there.
00:44:51He just caught Ogunju.
00:44:59Hasn't been a football since he's come on.
00:45:04I mean, one of the things I love about him, his game,
00:45:06and we've seen it.
00:45:08So from Zendaya, this is just very quickly wanting to play positive,
00:45:12wanting to penetrate, wanting to play vertically.
00:45:15You just wonder if there's any one of those players that can make the leap.
00:45:29There's a few that you think they have the quality,
00:45:32they have the capabilities of the consistent with their club.
00:45:35Are they ready to make the leap to be someone that can be counted on
00:45:39by Pochettino?
00:45:40And when I say the door's wide open,
00:45:41it's players like McGlynn, I think about.
00:45:45He's already scored two goals for the U.S.
00:45:47against Venezuela and Turkey.
00:45:49Turkey, I should say.
00:45:50Sissi's last two MLS games.
00:45:55Vince Castro brings it forward.
00:45:59He's still a drop student,
00:46:00defending on the far side.
00:46:01He gets towards the byline.
00:46:02Heading away by Freeland.
00:46:06Only as far as Vitae Sock down the left side for Poe.
00:46:12Poe Gangsu.
00:46:17Back here for King Taegon.
00:46:19Into the midfield for Pike.
00:46:21Vince Castro carries it forward.
00:46:26And then things will make the save.
00:46:29Strong header in from the substitute.
00:46:41Wasn't too far away there from O'Gongu.
00:46:45Well, there's just so much power
00:46:46on the ball that comes in.
00:46:48I think it just surprises him slightly
00:46:49because it materializes so quickly,
00:46:52but just bring footwork to punch away.
00:46:55We're into five minutes of time being added on here
00:46:57in Harrison, New Jersey.
00:46:59And a little backflip there from O'Hongu.
00:47:02And down the left side.
00:47:05And it's through for Jens Castro,
00:47:07but it's out of play for a corner.
00:47:102-0.
00:47:11The goals came in the first half.
00:47:13Son involved in both.
00:47:14Scored one, assisted one.
00:47:17South Korea doubling the lead
00:47:18two minutes before the breakthrough.
00:47:20Lee Dong-Yong after Son had scored the first
00:47:23in the 18th minute.
00:47:25Lee Kang-Yin, the PSG man,
00:47:28will take this one.
00:47:31The third corner of the game.
00:47:32Richards will flick it away.
00:47:3539th cap for Lee Kang-Yin.
00:47:37He scored a World Cup Qualifinal due.
00:47:40No trouble in.
00:47:42The far side there by Jong Sang-Yin.
00:47:45Eight goals and 75 on the last regular season appearances
00:47:52for John Sang-Yin across Minnesota and St. Louis.
00:47:58Here's McGlynn on halfway.
00:48:01Parade forward by the Houston man-mount to the left side.
00:48:07Hullis hits ball across, finds him Dejas.
00:48:09Now it's Freeman.
00:48:11Hullis hits ball down, close and decent tossing, spin it over.
00:48:17Just flicked too well, and Lattner gives away the free kick as he...
00:48:19Oh, it just...
00:48:21This is a wonderful tackle there to stop Bishop Palisic,
00:48:24but it pops it right to Valadon, but now in the first save...
00:48:26Good through.
00:48:28Just scrambles over, puts a hand on the ground so he can stay up
00:48:33and stay big enough to stop the second one.
00:48:36That's not a replay right there.
00:48:38That's live that Valadon still can't believe the save happened.
00:48:43Orman Hull's not too long.
00:48:45Even more impressive for a goalkeeper who has had very little action
00:48:48throughout the game as he's final 25 minutes.
00:48:53And a glimless substitute standing over the...
00:48:55And here comes South Korea.
00:48:57Men's cast drop is a player for this forward,
00:49:01but he wasn't found there by a ball through by Lee Kang-in.
00:49:08Here's Pulisic.
00:49:09It's wide open right now in the final 60 seconds of stoppage time.
00:49:14But glim turns it back for Halston.
00:49:24Halston with the chance to play in Columbus.
00:49:28Great place for his club on Tuesday night.
00:49:34This is for glim.
00:49:39Richards.
00:49:41One last opportunity for the US to get the ball into the box here.
00:49:44And there goes the stakes here against South Korea.
00:49:57I think you can hear from the crowd.
00:50:09This was a night dominated by the South Korean fans and dominated by the South Korean team.
00:50:17And the US, an excellent finish.
00:50:20Definitely knocking on the door.
00:50:21The tactical change worked for players.
00:50:23They're really good off the bench, but just took way too long to get into the game against the side.
00:50:30That definitely just looked well above the US in class today.
00:50:35And Sun, just irresistible his entire time on the field.
00:50:40And he gave the fans what they wanted to see, but the US fans would be frustrated with that performance.
00:50:45Sun, extremely impressive.
00:50:47He finished with a goal and an assist.
00:50:48He scored 18 minutes in.
00:50:50He assisted in the 43rd for Lee Dong-Yong.
00:50:53It's a 2-0 win for World Cup-bound South Korea here against the United States.

00:53:57Have I got news for you returns tonight at 9 on CNN
00:54:02and streamed next day on HBO Max.
00:54:05You are watching the post-game show presented by Otto.
00:54:26Rhea will leave Harrison, New Jersey with a 2-0 victory over the United States.
00:54:31Both of their goals coming in the first half.
00:54:34Let's take a look at how this one shook out.
00:54:36Sarah Walsh, DeMarcus Keefe, Brian Smith, Kyle Martino with you.
00:54:39And Dunny, they got the scoring started early on.
00:54:42Sudden, young man, 18 minutes in.
00:54:44He was doing a fantastic job in the first 45 minutes of splitting the center backs,
00:54:48kind of creeping in behind both Tyler Adams and Sebastian Berhalter.
00:54:52That was the first where he finished off his opportunity 18 minutes in.
00:54:55He would continue to have, they got what they paid for.
00:54:58Combination play through kind of that empty bucket of a midfield frontrunner.
00:55:02Five across the top of the penalty area.
00:55:04Quick combination play.
00:55:05And had it not collision here as Matt Freeze comes across,
00:55:08takes out the legs of some young men.
00:55:10So a goal and an assist in the first 45 minutes
00:55:12and comfortable first half for Korea Republic against the United States.
00:55:17And that's how they went to the break for DeMarcus.
00:55:19Yeah, but the goalkeeper made a very, very good save.
00:55:21I think he maybe misjudged it a bit, but it was a great chance.
00:55:25Great ball by Berhalter, but it was a little bit unlucky from Chris Richard.
00:55:28I just hit him right in the knee.
00:55:30Dunny, I know a lot of folks were interested to see Balogun get back onto the pitch for this U.S. team.
00:55:35Right at the end of this game, it looked like he was going to find the back net.
00:55:38He had several chances here, but couldn't put any of them away.
00:55:41Different player profile from Josh Sargent.
00:55:42They're taking advantage of the formation adjustment.
00:55:45And two incredible saves by the goalkeeper, plus a kiss off the crossbar.
00:55:51DeMarcus and I were looking at each other,
00:55:53and Cheshire kept smiling trying to figure out how that ball didn't find the back of the net.
00:55:57South Korea will lead here with a 2-0 victory.
00:56:00Take a look at your auto-trader team comparison.
00:56:03DeMarcus, what jumps out to you?
00:56:04You know, one thing I do look at, and it kind of goes back to when we talked to Klinsman last week,
00:56:09you see the possession.
00:56:11The U.S.A. had a lot of possession.
00:56:12They had a lot of possession in South Korea's half.
00:56:14But what Klinsman told us in that camp, they know how to suffer.
00:56:17They're okay with that.
00:56:18They let U.S.A. pass the ball back and forth.
00:56:20I'm sure they were suffering.
00:56:21But you know what I mean.
00:56:23Suffering, they had the ball, no problem, and then they hit him on a counterattack.
00:56:27That was exactly the plan that South Korea had in the first half.
00:56:30The statistics don't.
00:56:3016 World Cup qualifiers.
00:56:32Korea Republic's lost just one match in their pre-8 matches.
00:56:35So, for me, if you talk about a team that, front to back, side to side, from the top of that formation to the very last player on the bench,
00:56:44truly understands what they're doing right now.
00:56:47For the United States, it's a different conversation when it comes to Mariso Pochettino.
00:56:50And who he's trying to figure out in real time can play at this level, be a part of this roster,
00:56:56and ultimately who can have the grit and desire to represent the United States when he names that final roster and now nine matches to go.
00:57:05Yeah, you know, one thing I did, like, in the first half for Korea was that in the first five, they didn't want to play through the middle.
00:57:10They planned direct.
