USA and under-fire manager Mauricio Pochettino embarrassed in historically bad loss to Switzerland

Mauricio's Pochettino USA tenure hit a new low on Tuesday night as the men's national team were trounced 4-0 at home by Switzerland.
Dating back to March, the Argentine's group have now lost four matches in a row, with defeats also coming against Panama, Canada and Turkey.
But the latest loss at Nashville's Geodis Park was historically bad for the USMNT, who will now enter the Gold Cup with a severe lack of momentum after conceding four first-half goals to the Swiss.
According to Opta, it was the first time ever that Switzerland led an away match by four goals at halftime.
All four strikes came in a 23-minute flurry, with Dan Ndoye, Michel Aebischer, Breel Embolo and Johan Manzambi getting on the scoresheet.
Boos rang out in the arena as Switzerland piled on the goals, and Pochettino afterwards told reporters that 'we were never in the game.'
'We played with many players who made their debut, or a young team. We need to take the pressure off them, we are here to help,' he said.
Nathan Harriel, Quinn Sullivan and Paxten Aaronson made just their second appearances for the national team, while Sebastian Berhalter - the son of former manager Gregg - made his debut.
Other more experienced names like Matt Turner, Walker Zimmerman and Brenden Aaronson were in the lineup, though captain Tyler Adams missed out through injury.
Of course, the absence of Christian Pulisic - who is skipping this summer's Gold Cup - continues to loom large.
During FOX's coverage of the UEFA Nations League final between Portugal and Spain USA legend Landon Donovan appeared to take aim at 26-year-old Pulisic, saying: 'This is what it means to represent your country.
'And if you don't want to take this, as a professional soccer player and someone who gets the opportunity to wear that jersey and take it seriously and responsibly, then don't come in.
'This is what it means. He's [Ronaldo] 40 years old, he played a long-a*s season, he's tired, he was out there grinding and hurt himself in the process.
'And I can't help but think about some of our [USMNT] guys on vacation right now, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's p***ing me off.'
That led to Christian's father, Mark Pulisic, telling Donovan to 'grow a pair' on social media and bringing up Donovan's own sabbatical from the national team during his career.
Pulisic seemed unconcerned with the criticism on Tuesday as he posted some photos of him hanging with family and friends with the caption: 'Just what the doctor ordered.'
The attacking midfielder has been an ever-present in the lineup for AC Milan since joining the Italian giants two summers ago, as he's appeared in 50 matches in all competitions in two seasons running.
The USA will begin their Gold Cup campaign without their talisman on June 15 against Trinidad and Tobago, before rounding out the group stage against Saudi Arabia and Haiti.

Pirates continue to slide with loss to Rangers

June 21 - The Texas Rangers managed just four hits on Saturday, but they made the most of them as they earned a 3-2 road win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kumar Rocker (3-4) gave up all five Pirates hits as he teamed with three relivers to give Pittsburgh its sixth loss in its last seven games. The two-time first-round draft pick threw 5 1/3 innings giving up two runs, five hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Pirates starter Mitch Keller saw his hard luck season continue. He allowed just a hit, a walk and an unearned run through his first five innings before the Rangers scored twice on him in the sixth. Keller (1-10), whose only win this season came in his first start on March 28, went 5-2/3 innings allowing two earned runs. The right-hander struck out five, gave up three hits and walked two. Both walks scored. Keller walked Ezequiel Duran to start the third. One out later, Kyle Higashioka lined a base hit to left field that Adam Frazier allowed to get past him and roll to the wall. The error allowed Duran to score and Higashioka to advance to second. Pittsburgh leveled the score in the fifth with small ball. Henry Davis and Ke'Bryan Hayes led off with consecutive singles, moving to second and third on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's sacrifice bunt. Oneil Cruz then scored Davis on a sacrifice fly to center. The Rangers would reclaim the lead in their next at-bats. Josh Smith got a one-out single and moved to second on Sam Haggerty's walk. Corey Seager's single to right scored Smith, and Marcus Semien made it 3-1 when his sacrifice fly to center scored Haggerty. The Pirates loaded the bases with one out in their half of the sixth. Rocker walked the final two batters he faced, and Shawn Armstrong hit Frazier on a 0-2 pitch. Though the Rangers reliever protected the lead. He got Davis to ground into a fielder's choice scoring Spencer Horwitz and then Hayes popped out to Semien in the shallow outfield grass. Pittsburgh would go down in order in each of the last three innings. Chris Martin struck out two in the ninth for his second save. -- Field Level Media

Tommy Fleetwood leads by three to boost maiden PGA Tour win hopes in Connecticut

Tommy Fleetwood opened up a three-shot lead at the Travelers Championship to raise hopes of a maiden PGA Tour victory. The Englishman fired a flawless 63, including five birdies and an eagle at the par-five 13th, to reach 16 under par, three clear of American pair Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley going into Sunday's final round at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut. It was Fleetwood's lowest round on the PGA Tour this year – two shots better than his 65 on the final day of the Truist Championship in Philadelphia last month – and just one stroke away from his best ever. 'It (winning) will come down to a bunch of things,' Fleetwood told CBS Sports. 'I haven't been in contention much at all this year, I've been on the outskirts if you like. 'My best finishes have been just outside of being in contention, but like really close. So to put myself there and be in the last group (on Sunday), I'm really happy with that. 'I've been here plenty of times, I'm looking forward to it. I'm happy with the work I've done and happy I've bounced back for the first few days of this tournament from last week (US Open). 'It's just an amazing opportunity for me to go out and enjoy it, and hopefully it's our time.' Fleetwood would be a popular winner as the 34-year-old had the most top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour since 1983 without a win. That number totals 41 – seven more than the second man, Brett Quigley, on that list – but the elusive victory hovered into sight on a curious day when overnight leaders Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas went backwards. World number one Scheffler made a triple bogey seven at the first hole and was strangely out of sorts for most of the day. Scheffler signed for a double bogey at the eighth and dropped more shots at the fourth and 16th saw him finish with a 72, nine shots adrift of Fleetwood at nine under par. Thomas went round in 73 with his card wrecked by a quadruple bogey nine at the 13th as he sat 10 shots back at six under. American Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley roared into contention with a 63 to join Henley, who shot 61, on 13 under par. Jason Day is two shots further back. Rory McIlroy covered the outward nine in 31 to move to nine under par and put his name high on the leaderboard. But the Masters champion took six at the par-four 12th and a birdie at the 15th was quickly cancelled out by a dropped shot at the next. McIlroy starts the final day tied for eighth among a group which includes Scheffler.

In the Arena: Serena Williams review – there is just no one in the world that matches up to her (and her sister)

Serena Williams, holder of 39 grand slam titles and four Olympic gold medals, who spent 319 weeks as tennis's world No 1 and became the highest-earning female athlete in history, never thought she was that good when she was a young player. That was because she was always training against her older sister, Venus ('she was the prodigy of prodigies'), the only person in the world who could really challenge her. A year younger, Serena remembers being shorter and weaker and resorting to cheating on line calls at practice so she could occasionally beat her. In the Arena: Serena Williams (the title comes from President Roosevelt's 1910 speech to the Sorbonne – 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena' so, yes, consider me told) is an eight-part docuseries that covers Serena's rise and rise over her 27-year tennis career before she retired three years ago. Since then, incidentally, she has been busy with her venture capital firm, production company, body care and pain relief startup, beauty line and raising two children. Honestly, it's like looking in a mirror, is it not? In the Arena was executive produced by Serena and is clearly meant to be the definitive version of events. It would be too strong to call it hagiographic, but it is a full-blooded celebration of her achievements. It is not the place to come if you want, for example, an interrogation of the techniques used by the sisters' astonishing father and coach, Richard Williams, to mould two champions. 'My dad was a marketing genius,' says Serena of his marshalling of press attention round his children in the early years, regardless, some might say and have said, of the psychological impact. 'There's a very thin line between parent and coach … But I would say at the end it was all worth it,' is as far as Serena goes here in acknowledging the criticism Richard has faced for his intense focus on their professional success. Then it's on to the good stuff. The sisters turning pro – Venus flying from the start, Serena stumbling slightly before she too took off. The beating of rivals and established stars ('I was determined, determined to take her down … I'm coming for you. I'm coming for everyone') and their swift domination of a game that had hitherto been almost solely the preserve of a white, moneyed elite. 'Little sisters from Compton. Can't really take that too seriously, right?' Inevitably, of course, they begin to meet in grand slam finals. The footage – the grace, the power of them – is astonishing. Almost as astonishing, if in a gradually emerging way, is the grace with which they handle the competition between them, the wins and the losses. Serena talks about benefiting from Venus going first in everything, from turning pro, to handling good and bad press, to playing individuals Serena will later face in tournaments. They talk with sincerity about being pleased for each other's wins even as they mourn and analyse their own losses. And they talk about the bifurcation between life as sisters and life as absolutely dedicated competitors and not letting either one infect the other. They warmed up together before their first joint grand slam final, the 2001 US Open. Venus won. 'I can't say I enjoyed it. I did what I had to do.' 'I wasn't happy,' adds Serena. 'But I was OK. She was the phenom. It was never me.' Her turn would come. She learned to pretend she was playing someone else when it was Venus on the other side of the net. By the time Wimbledon rolled round a year later, she was ready to be No 1. 'I gotta have it,' Serena grins, remembering. 'That's what I need in my life. Because it's just an extension of who I was. As Thanos says: I was inevitable. I couldn't stop the roll.' Nor could anyone – including the haters behind the racial and misogynist abuse she dealt with – or anything, including the difficult birth of her first child, in 2017, which nearly killed her. She retired in 2022, and plunged straight into what is already a highly successful and lucrative second act. It would be fascinating to compare and contrast another pair of sisters or – perhaps even more fascinatingly – a pair of brothers who followed the same trajectory. Would they have stayed so close, maintained the same boundaries between love and work, or would they have disappeared under the pressure of competition? Would they have spurred each other on to greater heights in the same way, or destroyed each other? Would they remain such generous supporters of each other, or have combusted by now? What makes the mind not just of a champion – but of a champion who survives the ride intact? Maybe one day we'll find out. But there is as yet nothing to compare to Serena or to Venus separately, let alone together. In the Arena: Serena Williams airs on BBC One and is on iPlayer now
