(Reuters) - The United States were beaten by Canada 2-1 in the Concacaf Nations League third place match on Sunday but they have enough time to figure things out ahead of next year's World Cup on home soil, manager Mauricio Pochettino said.

It was United States' second consecutive defeat after being stunned by Panama 1-0 in the Concacaf Nations League semis on Thursday.
