For Mauricio Pochettino, there is a power in ignorance for USMNT players

In an unexpected soliloquy, the US mens national team manager made clear there's a method behind his selections, even if players may never know it.

The thing to know about Mauricio Pochettino is that, in his view, there is knowledge in not knowing.

In a meditation on his unifying theory on the nature of knowledge that called to mind Donald Rumsfeld's famous unknown unknowns" diatribe, the Argentinian explained on Thursday why he never tells potential United States men's national team players why they weren't called up.
