Pochettino's US booed off after Switzerland thrashing
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino became US head coach in September 2024 [Getty Images] The United States conceded four goals in 36 minutes as Mauricio Pochettino's side were booed off after being thrashed by Switzerland in Nashville on Tuesday night. The result at Geodis Park means the US have been beaten for the fourth time on the spin for the first time since 2007. Advertisement Since March, the joint-World Cup hosts have lost to Panama, Canada and Turkey ahead of their Gold Cup campaign in June. Dan Ndoye opened the scoring after just 13 minutes before Michel Aebischer double it 10 minutes later. Breel Embolo and Johan Manzambi added two more before half-time to extend Switzerland's winning streak to three. The home fans made their feelings known when the fourth goal went past keeper Matt Turner as the US conceded four inside the 40th minute for the first time since 9 November 1980, and the maiden time at home. Pochettino now holds a record of five wins and five losses in his 10 games as US boss ahead of the World Cup kicking off in one year.

Mwenentanda eager for opportunity with Vanderbilt
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda is a former Washington high school standout, who just made a run to the Final Four with Texas. Now, she's on the move to another SEC School. Ndjakalenga played three season with the Texas Longhorns, appearing in 37 games this past year as a junior. She started in 15 games, including the Final Four contest against South Carolina. 'I love Texas and I got what I needed out of Texas. I got my degree,' Mwenentanda said. 'I just wanted something different.' Mwenentanda entered the transfer portal following her junior season. 35 teams reached out to her, but she had to picky, knowing she has just one year of eligibility left. 'Being a part of some rebuilding process wouldn't have allowed me enough time. I had to look at the options that were the best fit for me, as far as teams that were a little bit more established,' Mwenentanda said. Another factor in Ndjakalenga's decision was the ability to help fill her goals, which include playing basketball beyond college. 'The goal is to play pro basketball and that's why I entered to portal, to see where I can best take that stepping stone to achieve my goal of playing basketball,' Mwenentanda said. Her decision brought her to the Music City of Nashville, becoming the newest player for Vanderbilt. 'There are a lot of girls on the team that want to go pro. I know, being in a final four atmosphere, you've got to have everybody that really wants it,' Mwenentanda said. 'Those who are willing to sacrifice and put time towards the same goal.' While Ndjakalenga is taking her talents to Vandy, her heart will always be in South Dakota, a state providing plenty of support for the Sioux Falls native. 'I grew up in Sioux Falls and I've still got friends I keep in touch with. I keep in touch with Parish over at Washington as well,' Mwenentanda said. 'I think Sioux Falls definitely has a permanent place in my heart, because of what it has provided me.' Mwenentanda will make some trips back and forth to Nashville throughout the summer as she gets ready for the basketball season later this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
