Forget the World Cup, USMNT doesn't look ready for the Gold Cup

As the United States men's national team trudged off the field at half-time, boos rang out at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee. And every single last one of them was deserved.

The U.S. was already down 4-0 to Switzerland, and went on to lose by that same score. The first half looked a scrimmage between the varsity and the junior varsity; young players being thrown into the lion's den and getting mauled. Already utilizing a roster bereft of over a dozen experienced players, USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino is operating with a green roster.
