Key Highlights
- Practically speaking, Pochettino is still about 4½ months away from doling out the biggest gift of all -- a spot on the U. S.
- World Cup roster.
- Given his penchant for making unexpected selections, there are still a few spots up for grabs. At present, the advantage lies squarely with those performers playing overseas.
- A couple of notable names will be in UEFA Champions League action as the league phase reaches its climax over the next 10 days.
- Some MLS players haven't played in a competitive fixture in almost three months, but training camps for its teams are about to begin, which means the pendulum on who is fit and ready will start to swing back. The next goal on the horizon is the March international window.
