The U.S. men’s national soccer team (USMNT) is preparing for a decisive quarterfinal matchup against Haiti in the CONCACAF Nations League, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at 4:30 p.m. ET. The game will be held at Nu Stadium in Miami, Florida.
This upcoming match marks a critical point for the USMNT, as it will be the last set of official games before the team embarks on the lengthy journey toward the 2030 World Cup. The situation is further complicated by recent reports that head coach Mauricio Pochettino will leave his position to manage Premier League club Manchester United. His departure follows the sacking of Manchester United’s previously appointed manager, Michael Carrick.
With Pochettino’s exit looming, the USMNT faces the challenge of maintaining momentum. His time with the team has seen significant improvement, which raises the stakes for the selection of his successor. Pep Guardiola and B.J. Callaghan have emerged as potential candidates to take over his duties.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their coach, the USMNT will move forward with Pochettino for the games against Haiti. Key players, including Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun, are expected to contribute to the lineup against a Haitian squad that features notable players such as Wilson Isidor and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Game Details
The first leg of the quarterfinal will be broadcast live in English on TNT and truTV, with streaming available on HBO Max. Spanish-speaking audiences can catch the game on Telemundo and NBC’s Universo, alongside streaming options via Peacock.
The teams will meet again for the second leg on Tuesday, November 17, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The aggregate score from both matches will determine which team advances to the semifinals, which are scheduled for late March 2024.
