The U.S. men’s national team will battle Turkey in its final World Cup group game. The U.S. has already won Group D, with Turkey being eliminated from round of 32 contention following two scoreless losses vs. Australia and Paraguay.
Game Details
Kickoff from Los Angeles Stadium is set for 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET. Christian Pulisic has returned to the bench following a calf injury that kept him out of the 2-0 Australia win.
U.S. starters Folarin Balogun, Tyler Adams, Chris Richards and Antonee Robinson all have one yellow card. One more vs. Turkiye and they’d be suspended for the round of 32. The U.S. is ranked No. 14 by FIFA, while Turkey is No. 32 following a drop of 10 spots from the last ranking.
Turkey is led by young forward stars Arda Guler of Real Madrid and Kenan Yildiz of Juventus, but the nation is still seeking its first goal of the tournament. The U.S. will play in the round of 32 on Wednesday, July 1 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, with the opponent TBD.
