New Year, New Faces. With just a little over 500 days left until the World Cup, it’s all hands on deck for the USMNT. Now is the time to find fresh talent to deepen the squad, and Poch took that to heart. He called up seven brand new players to this January camp as well as numerous up-and-coming domestic talents. The result: two wins in two games. A solid 3-1 win against Venezuela followed by a convincing 3-0 victory against Costa Rica. Beyond the positive score lines, we saw heart, grit, and determination from all those called up to defend the badge. Hell, Diego “Big Balls” Luna nearly lost his nose. That’s the attitude we all crave. 2025 is the year we get battle-hardened ahead of the biggest tournament in our lifetime. 📸: gabrielbayonas rodolfhochona #usmnt #soccerusa #soccerphotography #diegoluna #vinotinto #costaricafutbol #ussoccer #soccerskills #sportsphotography #clubelevenmag
