Veteran defender Tim Ream will captain the United States at the World Cup, as the co-hosts seek to make a deep run at the tournament which kicks off in less than two weeks, coach Mauricio Pochettino said Saturday.
Center-back Ream, 38, who spent over a decade playing for English clubs Fulham and Bolton Wanderers, was the obvious choice given his experience and leadership among a young squad, said Pochettino.
“He was my first captain when we arrived … I am so grateful that he’s with us,” said Pochettino, who took over in September 2024.
