NASHVILLE — The United States gave up four goals in the first half and looked unprepared for next year’s World Cup, getting routed by Switzerland 4-0 in a friendly on Tuesday night as the Americans lost their fourth straight game for the first time since 2007.

The USMNT looked hapless en route to a 4-0 capitulation to Switzerland. Highlights, a recap of the action, and more.

Switzerland scored four first-half goals as the U.S. men's national soccer team lost its fourth consecutive game under coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino admitted that his starting lineup was exposed and suffered its fourth straight defeat against a more seasoned European opponent.
