Turner is awesome. I have no idea - but at 27 does he have hope for future Euro or team A usmnt?
Yes, it's not too old in GK years.

He is a better shot-stopper than Steffen, and it isn't even close. Steffen is smoother on the ball, but is also prone to his every game hiccup as well.

The 'if he touches the ball it's not a foul' is total nonsense, right? The ball is still very much live there

I've lost count of how many times this keeper has turned the ball over in his own half on goal kicks

Roldan is a great super sub, but he has to start the final. He troubles the defense opposite Hoppe, gives the opponent so much more to think about.

I know it’s not the best lineup and it hasn’t been the prettiest tournament or the best opponents but nonetheless you have to be impressed at how hard the B-C team has been grinding.

Some of these guys will absolutely have a role to play when the full roster is available.

Interesting to me on the penalty claim for the US is what is the official rule in a Var world in a situation where they haven’t completed the Var check and the team scores? Can you score a goal and then be given a penalty that was not given?

Lletget been very good in this last half hour

Berhalter has cultivated a GREAT culture and it gets stronger with every big win like this. He has his faults, but he’s doing a lot of stuff exactly right.

California. Duh.

Yeah, you can argue about his tactics, but he definitely seems like he's managing the players well and has them on board.

I've watched the USMNT-Mexico highlights from Nations League a bunch and I always think about McKennie scoring the late equalizer and sprinting to the bench & Berhalter
