Siblings Han and Holden had an impressive run. I admittedly pegged them as a mid-season boot, but bro and sis have taken an introspective approach to their game, identifying their mistakes and really studying where they went wrong. Their communication skills have been solid (especially considering they're siblings), but when the pressure arose, they excelled at keeping each other level-headed. They're also a well-rounded team who's self-awareness helped them pass leg after leg of this race.
With the exception of Leg 7, BFFs Carson and Jack have played a strong game, banking multiple first- and second place finishes and keeping their competitors on their toes. These guys proved that just having fun can make all the difference, even when the cards aren't dealt in your favor. The guys impressed us week in and week out, steadily building up steam while outpacing the rest. A victory for the gamers wouldn't surprise us one bit.
Speaking of another incredibly effective team: Alyssa and Josiah. These two didn't get much camera time early on, but as the race continued, the married nurses from Philly proved they were a force to be reckoned with. Their game was clean and honest, and when difficult tasks were presented to them, their cool heads and ability to focus always kept them in the front of the pack. We loved their calm, gentle communication skills, and even when stress wore them down a bit, they were always able to make up some ground.
Speaking of communication skills… no, we don't always love the way Jonathan speaks to his lovely wife, Ana, but it's easy to quarterback from the couch when we're miles away from the pressure of the Race. The couple's bickering and drama aside, they get the job done. Although they narrowly escaped elimination in Leg 5 due to the live Double U-Turn vote, they eventually rebounded, coming in the Top 3 in the last four legs. But as we've seen before, Jonathan's attitude and ability to crack when things aren't going his way could be a big reason why these two don't get the check.
Even though we've got money on Carson and Jack emerging victorious, we'd throw our hats in Alyssa and Josiah's ring for who should.
But we want to hear from you! What are thoughts on Season 37's last four teams? Vote in our two polls below, then let your voice be heard in the comments section!

Kluivert tells Indonesia to learn from Japan thrashing in World Cup hunt
Patrick Kluivert has taken Indonesia to the fourth round of Asian qualifiers for next year's World Cup (PAUL MILLER) Patrick Kluivert told his wounded Indonesia side they must learn from their embarrassing 6-0 thrashing by Japan as they attempt to reach the World Cup for the first time as an independent country. Indonesia's dreams of appearing at their first finals since gaining independence in 1945 are still alive after they finished fourth in Asian qualifying Group C. Advertisement They join Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Asian champions Qatar in October's fourth qualifying round, with the draw to be made next month. The winners of the two three-team groups will advance to next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Netherlands and Barcelona great Kluivert admitted that Group C winners Japan were "a size too big" for his team in Osaka on Tuesday. "We need to learn from this big defeat," said the 48-year-old, who took over midway through the third qualifying round. "We're very disappointed, of course, but we have to be prepared for the fourth round, and for me now the most important thing is to look back post-match, learn from it and look forward to the fourth round." Advertisement Indonesia were already guaranteed a place in the fourth round after beating China 1-0 in Jakarta last week. They were outclassed by a Japan team who booked their World Cup place with three games to spare and ended the third round with 30 goals from 10 matches. Kluivert was not helped by a first-half injury to forward Kevin Diks, whose replacement Yakob Sayuri was then substituted 15 minutes later after a clash of heads. Kluivert said Japan were too good for Indonesia but they had to "admit this and carry on". "We tried our best but it wasn't enough," he said. "It was the quality of the players that Japan has in this team. We can talk a lot about it but that's the fact, that Japan was a size too big for us this evening." amk/pst

USMNT vs. Switzerland player ratings: Nightmare in Nashville
USMNT vs. Switzerland player ratings: Nightmare in Nashville Show Caption Hide Caption Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT ahead of World Cup Soccer standout Weston McKennie discusses the state of the USMNT and how Mauricio Pochettino is getting the squad ready ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Sports Seriously The U.S. men's national team is in a tailspin heading into the Gold Cup. In its final tune-up friendly before the Concacaf tournament kicks off, the USMNT was humiliated 4-0 by Switzerland in Nashville on Tuesday. Dan Ndoye, Michel Aebischer, Breel Embolo and Johan Manzambi gave the Swiss a four-goal lead within the first 36 minutes. Though the USMNT at least stopped the bleeding from there, that will be cold comfort to a team that looks lost and out of ideas. The USMNT was out-played, out-competed and out-thought en route to its first four-game losing streak since 2007. Things will have to improve in a hurry ahead of the Gold Cup opener on Sunday against Trinidad and Tobago. Here are our ratings for the USMNT's nightmare in Nashville against the Swiss. As a reminder, here's the Pro Soccer Wire player rating scale: 1: Abysmal. Literally any member of our staff would have been been able to play at this level. 6: Adequate. This is our base score. 10: Transcendent, era-defining performance. This is Carli Lloyd vs. Japan in the 2015 World Cup final. GK: Matt Turner - 4.5 It's hard to see Turner starting in the Gold Cup after another brutal error led to a goal. The soon-to-be Lyon goalkeeper coughed up an easy rebound from Ricardo Rodriguez's shot from distance, which Embolo gratefully deposited into the net. Turner improved in the second half and couldn't be faulted for any of the other goals, but will that even matter? LB: Max Arfsten - 3 The Crew defender will be seeing Manzambi in his nightmares. Arfsten was brutally skinned by the winger in the lead-up to Switzerland's second, which wasn't the only time the Freiburg teenager made him look silly. Arfsten also failed to get goal-side on Embolo on Switzerland's third goal, leading to a simple tap-in. Taken off at halftime. CB: Mark McKenzie - 4.5 Manzambi dribbled past McKenzie too easily for Switzerland's fourth goal, and the center back had a poor giveaway that nearly led to another goal in the second half. On the plus side, McKenzie did go 66-for-68 passing and had a game-high five clearances. CB: Walker Zimmerman - 5 Zimmerman didn't have any glaring errors, but failed to sort out the chaotic mess that was the game's opening 36 minutes. Playing on his home field, Zimmerman was too much of a bystander in a team that needed more leadership. RB: Nathan Harriel - 3.5 It was, unfortunately, a nightmare for Harriel against the Swiss. The Union right back completely lost Ndoye on Switzerland's opener, letting the winger easily sneak behind him. Harriel was also exposed on Switzerland's second, as he gave Aebischer a criminal amount of space for a tap-in on the doorstep. CM: Johnny Cardoso - 5.5 It was at least a better performance for Cardoso than against Turkey, when he was at fault for a comical goal. The Real Betis man was 52-for-54 passing, including three of four on long balls. Cardoso popped up with some vital defensive interventions too, but was also unable to organize the midfield effectively during the first-half onslaught. CM: Sebastian Berhalter - 5 Berhalter was eager to impress in his first USMNT cap, which worked against him at times as he missed tackles and was bypassed in central midfield. He looked a bit more comfortable in the second half after Diego Luna and Malik Tillman entered, which pushed him out to a position more wide right. LW: Paxten Aaronson - 4 Aaronson was a non-factor in his first USMNT appearance since January 2023, and only his second ever. The midfielder played a bit higher up than he did during a hugely successful loan at Utrecht this season, and was part of a midfield that couldn't gain any control of the game. CAM: Brenden Aaronson - 4.5 Had some promising attacking moments in an active start to the match, but saw his influence completely wane over the course of the first half. Only managed 18 touches and seven of eight passes before he was withdrawn at halftime. RW: Quinn Sullivan - 3.5 Making his first USMNT start, Sullivan was hesitant and inefficient during the rare occasions he got on the ball in Switzerland's half. In his own half, he had a poor giveaway that led to directly to Switzerland's fourth. Sullivan was hooked at the break. ST: Brian White - 3.5 White managed just 19 touches before being withdrawn at halftime. He didn't impress with those minimal chances, either, with some poor hold-up play and a particularly soft pass to kill a U.S. chance to run at the defense. Sub: John Tolkin - 5 Coming on at the break, Tolkin was at least an improvement on Arfsten, but didn't connect with teammates on his runs forward. He was solid defensively, though he wasn't asked to do as much as Arfsten after the USMNT switched to a three center back formation. Sub: Tim Ream - 5 Ream helped restore some calm on the back line after coming on at halftime. The veteran still wasn't at his best, as he misplaced some passes and showed his physical limitations when Ndoye blew past him in open space. Sub: Malik Tillman - 6 Tillman provided some attacking onus after his halftime introduction, combining well with teammates and playing a game-high three key passes. Flailed wildly at a volley, though, on his one decent look at goal. Sub: Diego Luna - 5.5 Luna should be a lock for this XI because he simply tries hard. The Real Salt Lake man didn't have much joy in the final third, but he at least raised the level of competitiveness in the midfield. Sub: Patrick Agyemang - 6.5 Agyemang was lively after coming on at halftime, drawing four fouls including two yellow cards that resulted from his physical hold-up play. A clear upgrade on White on the evening. Sub: Damion Downs - N/R A quiet first cap for Downs after coming on in the 75th minute.

Nintendo says sold record 3.5m Switch 2 consoles in first four days
Nintendo said Wednesday it had sold a record 3.5 million Switch 2 units worldwide in the first four days after the console was launched. "This is the highest global sales level for any Nintendo hardware within the first four days," the Japanese video game giant said in a statement. Featuring a bigger screen and more processing power, the Switch 2 is an upgrade to Nintendo's blockbuster Switch console. It was released last Thursday to a global swell of fan excitement that included sold-out pre-orders and midnight store openings. Since its 2017 launch, the original Switch -- which enjoyed a popularity boost during the pandemic with hit games such as "Animal Crossing" -- has sold 152 million units. That makes it the third best-selling console of all time. Analysts predicted last week that Nintendo could score record early sales with the Switch 2 -- but it remains to be seen if it can match the performance of its predecessor. Challenges for Nintendo include uncertainty over US trade tariffs and whether it can convince enough people to pay the high price for its new device. The Switch 2 costs $449.99 in the United States, compared to a launch price of $299.99 for the original Switch. Both are hybrid consoles which can connect to a TV or be played on the go. New games such as "Donkey Kong Bananza" and "Mario Kart World" -- which allow players to go exploring off-grid -- are also more expensive than existing Switch titles. Nintendo forecasts it will sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles in the current financial year, roughly equal to the original in the same period after its release. The Switch 2 "is priced relatively high" compared to its predecessor, so it "will not be easy" to keep initial momentum going, the company's president Shuntaro Furukawa said at a financial results briefing in May. The Switch 2 has eight times the memory of the first Switch, and its controllers, which attach with magnets, can also be used like a desktop computer mouse. New functions allowing users to chat as they play online and temporarily share games with friends could also be a big draw for young audiences used to watching game streamers. Success is crucial for Nintendo: while the "Super Mario" maker is diversifying into theme parks and hit movies, around 90 percent of its revenue still comes from the Switch business, analysts say. kaf/tym Sign in to access your portfolio
