U.S. national team manager Mauricio Pochettino said he had many sleepless nights in the lead up to naming his official 26-player roster for the World Cup this summer, receiving just “three, four hours every night” while mulling over his final decisions ahead of Tuesday’s unveiling.

The ability to down global powerhouses en route to a historic run at the tournament rests upon his correct decision-making.
