Arena: Pochettino Has What It Takes to Lead USA to QF

Bruce Arena believes current USA boss Mauricio Pochettino has the pedigree and home-field advantage to lead the team to a World Cup quarterfinal against Belgium.

The 74-year-old Arena, now coaching the San Jose Earthquakes, noted that while his 2002 squad faced tougher opponents in a foreign land, Pochettino benefits from playing on American soil with a more favorable draw. Arena expressed confidence that the Americans have 'everything going for them' and a strong chance to defeat Belgium to advance to the last eight. blablasex.es
