The United States men’s national team (USMNT) lost 2-1 to Switzerland over the weekend in their only preparation match before facing Honduras in the semi final of the CONCACAF Nations League. In that game the USMNT boss Gregg Berhalter couldn’t count on two of his best players, Christian Pulisic of Manchester City and Zack Steffen of Chelsea. Both Americans were not included in the roster as their clubs were competing in the Champions League Final last Saturday (29 May). Chelsea defeated City 1-0, a game in which Pulisic almost scored the Blues' second not long after coming on in the 66th minute. Meanwhile, as City second-choice goalkeeper, Steffen did not play a part in the final and had to watch on agonizingly as his team were unable to find an equalizer.
