Nearly one year on from Mauricio Pochettino making his bow as USMNT head coach in Austin, the Stars and Stripes return to the Texas capital to take on Ecuador. The Morning Footy crew reacts to the latest news out of camp with Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson, and Alex Zendejas all doubtful after missing training on Thursday. How has team culture changed under Poch, and how will the Argentinean line up against La Tri? Then, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio joins to talk about team expectations, the atmosphere at Q2 Stadium, and Poch's formation.
