Nashville, Tennessee – June 10, 2025
Wetin we go talk about USMNT? Dem don show say dem sabi recover after dem sharp 4-0 loss to Switzerland on Tuesday night, with correct performance against Trinidad and Tobago for Gold Cup wey don just begin.
After dem suffer four losses back-to-back (no be small wahala), dem manage to bounce back sharply, as dem dey win 5-0 against dem T&T boys wey no fit catch cruise. Malik Tillman don show jam-o, collect two goals for first half, while Patrick Agyemang, Brenden Aaronson, and Haji Wright join the scoring party too. Make you no compare am to wetin happen against Switzerland – dis one na different level.
As the match start, dem continue the pressure from the first minute. Tillman open scoring in the 16th minute and everything just dey sweet. The first half end with 3-0, and dem no even allow T&T chance to breathe! (Na serious matter, e be like say dem no even wan see the ball.)
We fit remember say na just few days ago, USMNT fans dey almost dey shake head with that 4-0 loss wey dem receive from Switzerland, but as dem dey hit the ground for PayPal Park, na so the vibes change. Coach Mauricio Pochettino don sabi wetin e dey do by bringing in fresh legs for the match.
Freese wey be keeper, wey don dey watch from bench, finally get chance to shine. Him only make two saves throughout the match – talk about easy day at the office! Meanwhile, defenders like Alex Freeman and Chris Richards flex their muscles to ensure T&T no fit come near their goal.
Second half come dey more competitive, but e no shock anybody as USMNT still dey control the game like boss. Just 73 seconds after dem score fourth goal, Haji Wright join the party too – as e do rubbish to T&T defense, roll ball calmly into the net. Wahala no dey finish!
Dem boys don show say dey fit turn dem losses into learning experiences. After that painful defeat against Switzerland, dem sabi say winners no dey show any mercy to smaller teams, and dat na wetin dem do to T&T yesterday.
Pochettino don talk say no be one game we go use judge how far dem go fit go for this Gold Cup. “We go take our licks and find wetin go work well for us. Fitness dey key,” e talk. True talk!
