USMNT's Pochettino blasts Gold Cup final refereeing after Mexico handball controversy
U.S. men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino lambasted referee Mario Escobar in the wake of his team's 2-1 Concacaf Gold Cup final defeat to Mexico. Pochettino was dismayed at a pair of decisions that he believed tilted the contest against his team, which had taken an early lead thanks to Chris Richards' headed goal in the fourth minute. Advertisement Mexico's 77th-minute winner through Edson Álvarez was originally ruled offside before being allowed following a review, but Pochettino took greatest issue with a handball no-call against defender Jorge Sánchez that had occurred about 10 minutes prior. Pochettino was infuriated after television replays showed Sánchez handling the ball in the area after 66 minutes, with the Argentinean claiming that if the same thing had happened at the other end Mexico would have been given a penalty. Sánchez's hand clearly hit the ball as he was bracing himself while slipping in the Mexico box, with the lack of intent appearing to be the reasoning for why no penalty was given, both in the moment or upon review. 'I'm not going to cry,' Pochettino said in his post-match press conference. 'I wanted to tell the truth, and the truth was that if that happened in the opposite (box) for sure it's penalty. '(Sánchez) was the player with the knee on the floor. He pushed the hand over the ball. It's not that the hand was on the floor and the ball touched. 'OK, well the excuses now, but you know that was (a) penalty and maybe 2-1 for us and maybe we now (would be) celebrating the trophy. I think that it is clear and it's not about to cry, it's not about to complain. For me it was embarrassing to see that situation and it's a shame.' "The truth was that if that happened in the opposite half in their box- for sure a penalty." Mauricio Pochettino speaks on the apparent handball that was not called on Mexico in the 66th minute — FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) July 7, 2025 Pochettino's team went into the tournament on the back of a dismal run of form and without key players such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah and Antonee Robinson, but reached the final following three group stage wins, a penalty shootout against Costa Rica and a semifinal victory over Guatemala. Advertisement The coach claimed that the efforts over the past four weeks had instilled extra hope in him that the USMNT would be competitive when the World Cup begins on home soil next year, with the tournament split between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 'I think it was an amazing tournament to realize in the way that we want to to grow,' Pochettino added. 'I think we are going to find the way to compete better and better and be very competitive and be in the place that we want it to be. I think that is a very painful night because when you lose a a trophy or you lose a game, it's really, really painful. But the most important thing is to have our head up. 'That is the way that we want to build our journey and into the World Cup. In this way, I have no doubt that we are going to be really, really competitive and going to be very difficult for the opponent.' He could not, however, help wondering what might have been as the possibility of claiming a morale-boosting win over the team's fiercest regional rival slipped away, first through Raúl Jiménez's fine strike on 27 minutes and then Álvarez's disputed goal. 'In this tournament. Mexico suffered two disallowed goals,' Pochettino said. 'The thing that happened today, it's difficult to (disallow), but in the end (Cesar) Montes was blocking Richards where they arrived. 'And when the ball (was) coming in we touch the ball. The player from Mexico delivered the ball was in an offside position. That's it. Nothing more to say. OK, we are talking about rules … but on (this) we suffer.'

Indian children missing in San Diego boat mishap; Consulate aiding family
A tragic maritime accident near Torrey Pines State Beach, just north of downtown San Diego, has left three people dead, four injured, and nine missing, including two Indian children, CNN reported. The incident occurred on Monday morning when a small panga-style boat capsized off the California coast. An Indian family was among those affected, with the parents currently receiving treatment at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, while their children remain unaccounted for. Authorities say the boat overturned in the surf around 6:30 a.m., about 15 miles from downtown San Diego. Hikers in the area witnessed the incident, with one doctor calling emergency services after seeing CPR being performed on the beach. According to Lt. Nick Backouris of the San Diego Sheriff's Department, "A doctor hiking nearby called in and said, 'I see people doing CPR on the beach, I'm running that way.'" The San Diego Sheriff's Department, California State Parks, US Coast Guard, Del Mar Lifeguards, and US Border Patrol are among the multiple agencies involved in the response. The Coast Guard deployed a 45-foot rescue boat and a helicopter to assist with the ongoing search and recovery effort, which continued into Monday afternoon, as per reports by CNN. Officials have found 17 life jackets at the site, though the exact number of people onboard remains unknown. The boat, identified as a 12-foot panga - commonly used for fishing and sometimes by smugglers - capsized under hazardous conditions amid a small craft advisory issued by the National Weather Service. The Consulate General of India in San Francisco issued a statement on social media platform X, confirming the Indian family's involvement. "We are very sad to know about the tragic incident of a boat capsizing near Torrey Pines State Beach, off the coast near San Diego, California, this morning. As per available information, three people died, nine went missing, and four were injured in the incident. An Indian family is also affected in this tragedy. While two Indian children are missing, the parents are undergoing treatment at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. The Consulate is providing all necessary assistance to the affected Indian family in coordination with local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this tragedy," the consulate wrote. Encinitas Deputy Fire Chief Jorge Sanchez described the scene as having the "potential to be a mass casualty event," depending on the fate of the nine still missing. The four people rescued were transported to area hospitals with injuries ranging from mild to severe. California State Parks confirmed that the incident is under active investigation. Coast Guard officials told the Associated Press they are still determining where the vessel originated. Coast Guard Petty Officer Chris Sappey stated, "They were not tourists," adding that they are believed to be migrants. He later clarified to CNN that while similar vessels in past incidents were linked to migrant smuggling, "the immigration status of the passengers is not confirmed at all yet." CNN also reported that in 2023, a similar tragedy off the San Diego coast resulted in the deaths of eight people when two smuggling boats capsized amid heavy fog. That incident was one of the deadliest maritime smuggling operations recorded in the US. As the investigation continues and the search for the missing persists, authorities are focusing on rescue efforts and establishing the identities and backgrounds of the passengers. The Indian consulate's involvement underscores the international scope of the tragedy, as officials work to assist affected families and coordinate with US authorities.

Suspected smuggling boat capsizes in Southern California, at least 3 dead
Three people are confirmed dead, and nine others are unaccounted for after a suspected smuggling boat capsized off Del Mar early Monday morning. Local fire crews, along with the U.S. Coast Guard and Homeland Security, responded to an area just north of Torrey Pines State Beach around 6:30 a.m., where the panga had washed ashore, officials told KTLA 5 News. 'It was estimated to be approximately 18 people on the beach, so we upgraded this to a major medical response due to the number of potential victims,' said Jorge Sanchez, a deputy chief with the Encinitas Fire Department. Three people were declared dead at the scene. Four survived and needed medical care, Coast Guard spokesperson Hunter Schnabel said. Crews frantically searched by boat, jet ski and helicopter for additional victims or survivors. Children are believed to be among the missing, Schnabel said. 'A doctor hiking nearby called in and said, 'I see people doing CPR on the beach, I'm running that way,'' said Lt. Nick Backouris of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Winds were light in the area, with slow-rolling waves reaching about 6 feet (1.8 meters), according to Sebastian Westerink, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in San Diego. The water temperature was 63 degrees (17 Celsius), he said. A bulldozer moved the panga on the beach as the search was underway. The wooden dinghy that was over 20 feet long (6 meters) had scuffed blue paint and wooden planks for seats. Inside the boat were a pair of running shoes, more than a dozen life vests, an empty waterproof cell phone bag and various water bottles. Its engine was visibly damaged. Panga landings are relatively frequent in Southern California as immigrants risk their safety aboard these overcrowded boats to reach the United States from Mexico. Border Patrol arrests 9 people attempting to illegally enter U.S. in Dana Point Harbor Recently, the city of San Clemente has considered installing surveillance cameras along its coastline to help alert authorities when pangas are spotted. In 2023, eight people were killed when two migrant smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach in heavy fog. One boat capsized in the surf. It was one of the deadliest maritime smuggling cases in waters off the U.S. coast. A federal judge sentenced a San Diego man to 18 years in prison in 2022 for piloting a small vessel overloaded with 32 migrants that smashed apart in powerful surf off San Diego's coast, killing three people and injuring more than two dozen others.
