Pochettino's Laptop Moment

Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · The Guardian

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino created a memorable scene by gathering players around a laptop during a water break against Senegal.

During the US men's national team's 3-2 victory against Senegal in a World Cup warm-up, head coach Mauricio Pochettino used a mid-half water break for an impromptu video session. The unusual scene saw the coach crouched by the bench with players gathered around a laptop held by an assistant.

"It was a new one for sure," said US defender Mark McKenzie, noting the moment resembled more of an NBA timeout than a soccer match. The quirky coaching technique has become the first memeable moment of the USMNT's World Cup journey. newssport.cv
