Gomez Slams Pochettino’s ‘Diabolical’ World Cup Email Notification

Former US international Herculez Gomez has criticised coach Mauricio Pochettino after reports said players learned their 2026 World Cup fates via email. Gomez called the method “inexcusable” on ESPN’s Fútbol Americas. He argued top-capped midfielder Diego Luna deserved a personal call after his key role on the pitch and in promotional campaigns. The ex-striker contrasted this with his own experience in 2014, when Jurgen Klinsmann left him a voicemail explaining his omission and thanking him for helping the team qualify.
