The US men’s soccer team is set to play Turkey in the World Cup, with the team’s momentum on the line. The US has already secured a spot in the Round of 32, but a win against Turkey would help keep the team’s spirits high.
US Team’s Momentum
The US team has been riding a wave of success, with two group stage wins under their belt. The team’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, knows the importance of performing well in the match against Turkey. ‘We need to perform tomorrow. We need to perform,’ he told reporters.
