Mauricio Pochettino has always been serious about the lemons in his office. They absorb negative energy, he has explained, and energy is everything. Energy determines decisions, capabilities, limits, relationships. And so, for good energy, Pochettino kept a tray of lemons in his office in Tottenham, where he coached Spurs to a second-place finish in the Premier League and to a Champions League final; in Paris, where he brought Paris Saint-Germain the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France; and in Chelsea, where he spent a year before the U.S. Soccer Federation lured him away. Then, last month, shortly after the U.S. beat Paraguay in its first game of the World Cup\u2014an astonishing victory, unexpected in its totality\u2014when Pochettino met with a group of reporters, they noticed a bowl with four lemons on his desk.<\/p>\n

It is the kind of telling detail that reporters find irresistible and soccer insiders indulge as a quirk. Pochettino could get away with the woo-woo stuff, the talk of \u201cuniversal energy\u201d and of his ability to read \u201cauras,\u201d because he was, obviously, a good coach: modern in the right ways, savvy in his use of analytics, devoted to positional discipline. His signature tactical approach was the high press, in which the back line moves up the pitch, swarming opposing players in the midfield\u2014essentially, defending by attacking. Done right, it creates opportunities to ambush the other team with counterattacks. It is an exhausting way to play soccer, requiring relentless intensity, spatial awareness, and skill, but it\u2019s also brave and stylish, and highly effective when done right. When U.S. Soccer decided it needed to overhaul its program after a humiliating loss in the 2024 Copa America, securing Pochettino was near the top of the list. His hire was considered a coup, a ratification of the country\u2019s promise and its ambition, just in time for the U.S. to host its first World Cup in more than thirty years. (U.S. Soccer got an assist on Pochettino\u2019s six-million-dollar salary from a couple of hedge-fund-manager soccer fans, Scott Goodwin and Ken Griffin.)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The lemons on his desk at the team\u2019s base camp in California weren\u2019t a joke. To win, you had to think you could win. Not arrogance, but possibility. \u201cWhy not us?\u201d he asked the team, and then adopted it as his slogan: \u201cWhy not U.S.?\u201d He had it painted on the wall of his office. He talked about the need to develop emotional connections between the players and the game, and between the fans and the players. It all came back to the quasi-cosmic force surrounding everything\u2014hence the mantras, hence the lemons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It seemed to be working, whatever it was. Coming into the round of sixteen, for a game against Belgium, the U.S. team had been riding high on a surge of good feelings. Even the challenge of facing the Belgians without Folarin Balogun, the U.S.\u2019s new star and its main scoring threat, who\u2019d been given a controversial red card for a hard tackle during its game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, seemed doable. The U.S. players were young, appealing, hungry underdogs\u2014bigger underdogs without Balogun, yes, but still up against just the type of high-profile but past-their-prime European power the team was built to beat. The vibes were immaculate.<\/p>\n

Then came word that FIFA<\/em> had ordered Balogun\u2019s \u201csuspension be suspended\u201d for a probationary year, making him available for the game against Belgium. That news was followed by reports that President Donald Trump had called Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA<\/em>, directly to ask for a review of the penalty. Other details leaked: Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, and Goodwin, one of the hedge-fund managers who partially funded Pochettino\u2019s contract, had marshalled a team of lawyers to challenge FIFA<\/em>\u2019s initial claim that the suspension could not be appealed. There was even oppo research on the referee.<\/p>\n

At a press conference in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump confirmed the call with Infantino in a characteristically rambling monologue. \u201cI understand sports really well, really well, and that wasn\u2019t a foul. That wasn\u2019t even an infraction,\u201d Trump said. He claimed that, at first, he didn\u2019t know what a red card was, but, once he learned that Balogun would receive an automatic suspension for the U.S.\u2019s next game, he decided the rule was very unjust. And so Trump phoned his friend Infantino, who had, seven months earlier, honored him with the inaugural FIFA<\/em> Peace Prize, and asked him to undo what was supposed to be a done decision.<\/p>\n

Then, on Sunday, FIFA<\/em> announced that, by complete coincidence, after a very rigorous, independent review process, and invoking Article 27, which more or less lets FIFA<\/em> do what it wants regarding disciplinary matters, Balogun was in fact eligible to play against Belgium. The reversal was met with glee by many U.S. fans, who\u2019d disagreed with the original red card\u2014and who understood lawyering up as a cultural tradition. But even many U.S. supporters were uncomfortable with the appearance of favor-trading, and the rest of the world was aghast. \u201cIt\u2019s a bad, bad, bad, bad decision for the World Cup,\u201d said the Norwegian coach, St\u00e5le Solbakken, when asked about it. UEFA<\/em>, never one to turn down a chance to criticize FIFA<\/em>, huffed about crossed \u201cred lines.\u201d Within a day, the U.S. team went from lovable underdog to\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. it was hard to say what the U.S.M.N.T. now represented. Arrogance? Overreach? Corruption? Those didn\u2019t seem like quite the right words to associate with the players. Balogun, after all, had done and said all the right things, acting with restraint and humility, despite having been harshly sent off. He hadn\u2019t asked to be at the center of an international incident. And his teammates weren\u2019t the ones lodging protests; they learned about FIFA<\/em>\u2019s decision via social media, just like everyone else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Still, it wasn\u2019t possible to disassociate Trump\u2019s meddling from the U.S.M.N.T. altogether. It\u2019s possible that Trump, who, during his comments to the press, joked about taking credit for the two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the United States, had less of an impact on FIFA<\/em>\u2019s decision to let Balogun play than he liked to imply. (Infantino, like Trump, clearly wants stars on television\u2014and the money that goes with that. A few months earlier, FIFA<\/em> had suspended a suspension of Portugal\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo, after he received a red card during the World Cup qualifying round, so that he could play in Portugal\u2019s first two World Cup games.) Historically, FIFA<\/em> has been known for its\u2014let\u2019s say\u2014flexible approach to ethics, but even so, there was no real precedent for this kind of naked political involvement in matters directly related to the flow of a particular game. What did it mean for the integrity of the tournament?<\/p>\n

Not everyone was conflicted. \u201cWe celebrate the decision,\u201d Pochettino declared. No doubt\u2014the U.S. had their best goal scorer for their biggest game. And they could tell themselves that leaders from other countries would have tried to do the same, which is almost certainly true. Before kickoff, as I watched fans fill Seattle\u2019s Pioneer Square, I couldn\u2019t see much of a difference from what I\u2019d witnessed when the U.S. team played Australia in the group stage. The fans marched. Everyone seemed to be wearing red, white, and blue. There were spontaneous chants of \u201cU.S.A.!,\u201d face paint, flags as capes. Inside the stadium, Balogun got a huge cheer when he was announced. \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d was sung with gusto. And loud boos greeted the Belgians the first few times they touched the ball.<\/p>\n

But the enthusiasm was fragile. Within the first minute, a Belgian charged down the field and rocketed the ball toward the goal; the keeper, Matt Freese, had to dive for the save. The pressure continued in front of the U.S. goal, and less than ten minutes into the match, the U.S. defense ground to a stop, and Belgium scored. The crowd gasped, then reeled, as if sucker-punched.<\/p>\n

It was a bloodbath. When the U.S. tried to press, Belgium played through it. When the U.S. tried to move the ball up through the channels, they gave it away. Christian Pulisic, long the team\u2019s most prominent and important player, had eleven turnovers in the first half alone\u2014more than anyone else had all game. But he was hardly the only culprit. The midfield, which had been the team\u2019s strength, its purring engine, was disorganized. Dribbles were loose, and easily deflected. The back line was under siege.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils, meanwhile, were sailing. Their coach, Rudi Garcia, showed some tactical daring, holding out two of his more prominent players until partway through the second half, injecting some energy into the game when the starters began to flag. The team seemed united, galvanized\u2014the opposite of the U.S. team, which showed little urgency. Thirty minutes into the match, it felt like Belgium could have been up by seven goals. But, abruptly, a penalty was called, and, for the second time in two games, Malik Tillman netted a free kick to even the score. The U.S. were in it\u2014for some fifty more seconds. Then Belgium scored again. Pochettino kicked over a water carrier. (So much for good energy.) Greater humiliation was still coming. In the second half, Freese stepped off his line to control a ball, hesitated, stubbed his foot against the ground, and lost the ball. Belgium\u2019s Hans Vanaken thumped it into the goal past defender Tim Ream, who flailed lamely as Belgium scored. The home crowd jeered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Belgium scored one more goal in the final minutes of extra time. An hour or so later, Ream appeared in the press area, still wearing his uniform and his captain\u2019s armband, his face red and his raw eyes redder. The controversy over Balogun\u2019s red card meant nothing, Ream said. The guys had played badly, all of them. More than twenty million people had watched them beat Bosnia. They\u2019d become celebrities overnight. They\u2019d had a chance to inspire the country. And yet they ended with the same result as in 2022, 2014, 2010, and 1994. Their lone quarterfinal appearance during that stretch was in 2002, when the tournament was in South Korea, and the games were played during the middle of the night in the U.S.<\/p>\n

And what about Balogun? He was mostly invisible during the match, launching a few nice runs but barely touching the ball. Only a month before, he\u2019d been anonymous to everyone but hardcore soccer fans. Then he scored a brace against Paraguay and became a household name in the U.S overnight. Never mind that he\u2019d been making his way through the English-national-youth-team system, not the American one, only a few years earlier. Many of the players on the team had choices about what nation to represent, but Balogun\u2019s story was special, beginning with his birth in Brooklyn, which had happened only because his Nigerian mother had been turned away from the boarding gate of a plane heading back to London after she was deemed too far along in her pregnancy to fly. Which meant that, at the very moment the U.S. was celebrating its two-hundred-and-fiftieth birthday, and as the Supreme Court was weighing Trump\u2019s push to end birthright citizenship, millions of Americans were cheering for a player who was only eligible because of the Fourteenth Amendment.<\/p>\n

There was, as many people pointed out, a certain irony to Trump\u2019s going to bat for a birthright citizen. But I didn\u2019t really see it. Trump doesn\u2019t care about consistency. What he does care about is Trump. In the middle of his monologue about calling Infantino, Trump claimed that the World Cup was being played in the U.S. because of him. When he was re\u00eblected, he said, \u201cI realized, you know, I just got the Olympics and I totally got that myself. And I just got FIFA<\/em>; I got that myself. We gave a little piece to Canada, gave a little piece to Mexico. I got that myself,\u201d he reiterated. What he hadn\u2019t realized at the time, though, was \u201chow successful it was going to be. I didn\u2019t know. I said, Gianni, is anyone going to show up?\u201d<\/p>\n

And they did. A tournament that had seemed like an exercise in exploitation\u2014FIFA<\/em> put itself in charge of ticketing for the first time, leading to the most expensive World Cup in history\u2014has become the country\u2019s biggest party, in cities and towns and Costcos and hardware shops and little mail depots. Now the party goes on without the U.S.M.N.T., and tens of millions of new soccer fans in this country have a decision to make: What are they going to do with the lemons now?\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n
