Always love Pablo's "forgotten" stories of US Soccer.
In 1991, a trio of unheralded high schoolers - two of them younger than Cavan Sullivan is today - appeared for the USMNT. Two of them would never do so again. Their story has been lost to time.
I spoke to all three of them, on the Guardian:

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino says he regrets not having been "more involved" in the fiasco surrounding Falorin Balogun this summer. He says the ensuing shift in "energy" made the match against Belgium much more difficult.

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino spoke eloquently today about Lionel Messi's impending national team retirement. Pochettino, of course, coached Messi at PSG.
Speaking to us here in Orlando, USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino says he's unhappy with the decision to play four games in this current international window, calling it a "big risk." His comments below:

Everyday here in the Guardian newsroom I resist the urge to drink my 1975 Tampa Bay Rowdies Pepsi-Cola. The day will come, though.
Thinking today of Colin Jose, who did so much invaluable work in preserving the history of the game in the US and passed in 2024.
In his archives at UMass today, I came across this note. Long before Matt Pentz & I solved the mystery of Wee Willie McLean, Jose was on the case.
Yesterday, I cast a vote for David Beckham to be inducted into the US Soccer HOF. In many ways, few are more deserving. I wrote a quick column on it, on the Guardian: theguardian.com/football/202…
A handful of us chatted w/USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino about what lies ahead for the US - this window, and well beyond it.
I’ve got a roundup of his comments, on the Guardian: theguardian.com/football/202…
Them: "Ok, great Pablo, you've got time with Thierry Henry! You can ask him anything you want about UCL, CBS, global football - all of it."
Me:
Today is such a huge day for creators of incredibly stupid AI videos of Lionel Messi conversing with Maradona. Great work, everybody.
Lionel Messi needs no promotion, but given his international retirement - and the fact that he could hang them up for good at Miami whenever he chooses to - go see him now if you can.

I don't even know where to begin with this. I have legit been laughing out loud for five minutes. The 🤫 gesture. The fact that one of them is holding a mini-ball. The fact that they're wearing USMNT kits. I can't.
