Pochettino plans to bring only final 26 players to camp ahead of World Cup to `not to be cruel'

U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino plans to bring only the final 26-man roster to his last pre-World Cup training camp, not wanting to cut anyone in the days ahead of the soccer tournament. Jurgen Klinsmann caused controversy when he cut 32-year-old star Landon Donovan in 2014, and Jeff Agoos burned his uniform when he was dropped by Bora Milutinovic in 1994. In 2010, Bob Bradley called seven players into a hotel conference room in Hartford, Connecticut, one by one for meetings after a friendly against the Czech Republic and told them they wouldn't be going to the World Cup in South Africa.
