The USMNT goalkeeper position remains a talking point, but Matt Turner continues to show why he can be the guy on the road to the World Cup
Goalkeeper remains a question for USMNT, but Turner continues to show why he can be the man on the road to the World Cup
Matt Turner knew what the moment meant, both for himself and for the big picture. Staring down Demarai Gray, Turner surely knew that the upcoming penalty kick would be a turning point on a personal and collective level. And, in that moment, Turner won. He pushed away the shot, preserved the lead and, ultimately, led his team to a crucial win.
The U.S. men's national team needed that moment to escape Jamaica with that 1-0 win. Turner needed it even more. Since the 2022 World Cup, Turner has found himself as a topic of discussion. With an uncertain club situation, he'd fallen into a similar trap as Zack Steffen before him, the one that, ironically, led to Turner's rise in time for that World Cup. In pushing his way up the ladder to the Premier League, Turner had reached a level that he could not dominate or, in this case, start at. Playing time has been hard to come by and when that dries up, so does timing, form and confidence.
