NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The U.S. men's national team put together a stronger performance against Paraguay than it did three days prior against Argentina, but that didn't result in a victory for the Americans.

The United States lost 1-0 to Paraguay in front of a record crowd at LP Field on Tuesday night despite a performance that saw it dominate the majority of the possession and chances. Paraguay won through a first-half set piece goal from Oscar Cardozo.

Head coach Bob Bradley handed out first starts to Juan Agudelo, Timmy Chandler (pictured above) and Tim Ream, and each delivered a promising showing. That still wasn't enough for the U.S. team to overcome the one-goal deficit, leaving the Americans winless in 2011.

Here's Cardozo's game-winning goal as well as the match's highlights:
