09/10/24: USMNT in limbo

This is Early Kick Off from the Men in Blazers media network and presented by our great friends of the pod STōK Cold Brew Coffee, all your global football stories straight from the back pages of Europe's newspapers in around 10 minutes.

On today’s episode: USMNT are yet to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as manager, and they face off against New Zealand on Tuesday night; chaos at Chelsea as it is revealed that owners disagreed about the sacking of Pochettino; Martin Ødegaard limps off in Norway’s Nations League match against Austria and may miss the North London Derby this weekend; France bounce back from a disappointing defeat to beat Belgium; Wales’s Harry Wilson scores against Montenegro in the pouring rain; and Emma Hayes is back in the UK promoting her new book and sharing her stories from management.
