FIFA+: World Cup archive & programmes FREE on DAZN
The United States is caught up in World Cup fever, with the U.S. team enjoying support unlike anything in their history.
The American squad have responded in kind, topping Group D and heading into tonight's round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina as massive favourites to move on to the last-16. Mauricio Pochettino's men are expected b their compatriots to make a deep run at this World Cup, perhaps unfairly given their status compared to some of the bigger footballing nations also competing on North American soil.
With expectation comes pressure, and one of Pochettino's biggest tasks is helping his team to handle the stress related to performing on the biggest stage.
The Argentine coach knows a little bit about handling pressure as a player, having played 20 times for the Albiceleste at the turn of the century. Now he's relaying some of the advice given to him as a player to his own squad as they look to make history on home turf.
Watch his comments below.
