Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The USMNT got back on track against Trinidad & Tobago scoring five goals and notching a win for the first time in 2025. A turn around has to start somewhere and a solid 5-0 win is a good place for that to happen. It was a dominant win for the USA as Diego Luna and Max Arfsten both grabbed a pair of assists, Malik Tillman registered a brace, and Patrick Ageymeng scored for the fourth time this year.

Providing a view into something that has not happened is asking for the concept of time to behave in ways that are generally speaking not entirely possible. When it comes to the USMNT that task is all the more difficult because the team is providing spectacular, cattywampus failures whenever it steps on the pitch lately.

Photo by Doug Zimmerman/ISI Photos/Getty Images The USMNT is coming off of a third straight defeat heading into a final friendly before the Concacaf Gold Cup begins. Manager Mauricio Pochettino now shares the distinction of being the first USMNT manager since Jurgen Klinsmann a decade ago to lose three in a row. The team will face a solid Switzerland side coming off of a 4-2 win over Mexico. That game saw Switzerland jump out to an early lead and controlled the game for the most part.
