  "account": "The United States has been set to face the second leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal match at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium on November 17, according to the U.S. Soccer Federation's announcement on Tuesday. The first leg of the series is scheduled for November 14, with the location yet to be determined. The victor will advance to the semifinals, which will take place from March 22-30 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. This qualification comes after a four-year cycle under coach Mauricio Pochettino, who assumed the role in 2024. The U.S. will participate in friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Canada in the upcoming months. In the 2025 Nations League, the U.S. suffered a semifinal loss to Panama at SoFi Stadium, while Mexico secured the title by defeating Panama. The U.S. has previously claimed the championship in 2021, 2023, and 2024.",
