You have to go back more than 30 years to find when the USA lost at least six international matches in a row, but Bob Bradley's Americans will match that mark if they lose on Wednesday to Switzerland at Basel's St. Jakob Park (TV: Fox Soccer Channel, live, 2:30 pm ET; Galavision, delay, 7 pm ET/PT).

After a 10-0-1 start that culminated in its 2-1 victory over Mexico in the final of the 2007 Gold Cup, the USA has lost its last five games under Bradley, going down to defeat in all three matches at the Copa America and falling to Sweden and Brazil in recent friendlies.

The USA lost 12 games in a row in 1973-75. That streak included the legendary German coach Dettmar Cramer's two-game run as national team coach. It also included Bruce Arena's one game in goal for the USA against Israel.

With the MLS playoffs just around the corner, Bradley is going with a team dominated by European-based players. Eleven players on the current roster are age-eligible for the 2008 Olympic Games: Freddy Adu, Michael Bradley, Maurice Edu, Benny Feilhaber, Robbie Findley, Tally Hall, Steve Purdy, Chris Seitz, Danny Szetela, Preston Zimmerman and Sal Zizzo.

Adu has only played briefly since his much-publicized transfer to Benfica, but that more than some of the others have played. Hall, Purdy, Szetela, Zimmerman and Zizzo have yet to play for their clubs in a first-team league game.

HISTORY. The USA will be searching for its first win over Switzerland in seven games. The Swiss lead the series with three wins and three ties. The most memorable meeting took place in the teams' opening match of USA '94 on June 18 at the Silverdome, where Eric Wynalda's free kick goal just before halftime gave the USA a 1-1 tie a crucial point that would eventually allow it to advance to the knockout phase.
