USA vs New Zealand Prediction
- Score prediction: United States 2-1 New Zealand
The United States looked devoid of passion and motivation against Canada but should have the quality to beat an inferior New Zealand side, especially if they shake off the nasty losses.
Mikey Varas criticised the team’s effort level after the defeat to Canada, and that should push the players to know they have to perform if they want to be involved in Mauricio Pochettino’s plans going forward.
