Switzerland Thrashes Mexico 4-2 in Friendly Match
The Swiss national football team defeated Mexico 4-2 in a friendly match on Saturday, preparing for the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and ahead of the Gold Cup. The match served as a learning experience for Mexico’s head coach, Javier Aguirre.
Coach’s Reflections
Aguirre acknowledged the team’s poor decision-making during the match, stating, “Today we didn’t make good decisions, and I include myself. This cannot happen in the Gold Cup, but it helps us draw conclusions.” He further elaborated, “There were positive aspects and things to appreciate, but when you concede four goals, it’s hard to acknowledge them. We made many collective and individual errors, which is not acceptable with a team of this caliber.”
Gold Cup Approaches: Mexico’s Group and Schedule
The Concacaf Gold Cup, to be held in the United States from June 14 to July 6, has Mexico placed in Group A. They will face the Dominican Republic in the opening match, followed by Suriname on June 20 and Costa Rica on June 22.
United States Loses 2-1 to Turkey
Turkey secured a 2-1 victory over the United States in an unfortunate match where Arda Güler scored the winning goal. This loss marks the third consecutive defeat for the US team under coach Mauricio Pochettino, who faces a challenging period just a year before hosting the World Cup alongside Mexico and Canada.
Pochettino’s Situation
Pochettino has been dealing with a difficult situation since taking charge of the US team, having suffered two painful losses to Panama and Canada in March during the Concacaf Nations League final phase. The team will now face upcoming matches without key players like Christian Pulisic and others, playing at home in the Gold Cup.
Turkey’s Victory
Turkey capitalized on two nearly consecutive goals, with Arda Güler scoring in the 24th minute after Johnny Cardoso’s error. Kerem Aktürkoglu sealed the visitors’ comeback with a loose ball in the 27th minute, which Miles Robinson and Chris Richards failed to clear.
