Peru Overview

El Tri emerged from their home World Cup with renewed belief. Four friendlies will offer the first clues to how their new coach plans to build on it.

An injury-hit striker pool and eight teenagers in camp give Mauricio Pochettino plenty to consider. Who gets the nod against Peru, and who will have to wait?

Mauricio Pochettino has picked a youthful USMNT squad, and will hope to get the most out of talented teens over the next three weeks.

"Every game is critical," says Pochettino as USMNT kick off four fall friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada, with a young, refreshed roster and a teenage sensation closing in on his senior debut.
