USMNT's Young Stars Shine in 3-1 Victory Over Venezuela

The United States men's soccer team showcased its next generation of talent in a dominant friendly under coach Mauricio Pochettino.

The USMNT defeated Venezuela 3-1 in a friendly match in Fort Lauderdale, with goals from Jack McGlynn, Patrick Agyemang, and Matko Miljevic—all making their senior team debuts.
The squad, composed primarily of MLS players due to the absence of European-based stars, featured six first-time starters in the lineup.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino's aggressive and possession-focused tactics were on display, with the team controlling 66% of possession and recording 10 shots on goal.
Veteran defender Tim Ream, who captained the team, highlighted Pochettino's tactical evolution, including a fluid back-three formation and a more cohesive style of play.
The performance has raised optimism about the team's depth and future, with another friendly against Costa Rica scheduled for Wednesday before a competitive Nations League match in March.
