Overview

• The team conceded four goals by the 36th minute and failed to register a shot on target in their final tune-up before the Gold Cup.
• Switzerland’s veterans, including Granit Xhaka and Michel Aebischer, dominated possession and exposed weaknesses in the USMNT’s midfield pairing.
• Pochettino rotated nine starters, introducing several newcomers and fringe players, which disrupted cohesion and highlighted depth limitations.
• This defeat extended the USMNT’s losing streak to four matches and represented their worst shutout since a 4-0 loss to Costa Rica in 2016.
• Veteran midfielder Tyler Adams is expected to lead a tactical and mental reset as the USMNT rebuilds ahead of its opening Gold Cup match.
