United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino delivered an emotional reaction following his team’s victory over Bosnia in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.
“I’m very proud. The players earned this result. The way we battled against a very good, strong team is impressive. I’m proud of all my players and staff, and the fans gave us tremendous support once again today. It was an extraordinary experience,” Pochettino said.
When asked about their chances of winning the trophy, he replied, “Why not us?” This phrase has become emblematic in American sports for underdog teams—those not initially seen as favorites but who believe they can overturn expectations and achieve surprising success.
