Match Preview

With just under 12 months to go before the USA welcome the best teams on the planet for the 2026 World Cup, there are major issues that need addressing. Many would have felt that the teething problems were over after Nations League misery earlier this calendar year, but things have appeared to get worse during their warm-up matches for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

A sign of the problems that Pochettino is facing was evident on Tuesday evening, as the USA conceded four inside the opening 40 minutes of a friendly against Switzerland. There was nothing to take from the game for the U.S., as they failed to register a single shot on target.

Of course, it was only a friendly defeat, but the warning signs for a heavy defeat have been visible for much of this calendar year. Humbling defeats against Panama and Canada were suffered in the Nations League in March, while the U.S. were also beaten fairly easily against Turkey at the start of June.

The USA’s recent results will offer Trinidad and Tobago hope ahead of this Gold Cup opener. But, the Caribbean nation hardly arrive into this tournament in much better form than their rivals. Dwight Yorke’s side have suffered defeats in three of their last four internationals, which includes a 2-1 defeat against Costa Rica in their latest qualifier.
