The U.S. men's national team beat Haiti 6-0 on Saturday in Miami, in Mauricio Pochettino's penultimate game as head coach. Auston Trusty opened the scoring in the 10th minute at Nu Stadium, and Christian Pulisic scored twice in the second half, earning a 9/10 rating from ESPN. Julian Hall, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun also scored in the first leg of their Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal series. Pochettino, who is heading to Manchester United, said the team has an "amazing future" and praised the players for handling news of his departure professionally. He leaves three months into a new four-year contract. Haiti played its home match in South Florida because violence at home has prevented it from playing on home soil, and a largely pro-Haiti crowd attended. The return leg in Cincinnati on Tuesday is now expected to be a formality for the U.S. in reaching the March semifinals, when a yet-to-be-named coach will be in charge. Under-23 coach Steve Cherundolo will lead the December training camp.
