The USMNT will play their last match of the World Cup group stage today, June 25, against Turkey.
With their win over Australia last week, the USMNT punched their ticket to the Round of 32 and clinched the top spot in Group D. The combination of the US team’s knockouts pathway being confirmed and Turkey being eliminated from contention leaves this match without much meaning, other than pride.
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino didn’t 100% confirm that he would be benching the four players who received yellow cards over the past two matches, but being that a player’s first yellow card gets thrown away when the knockouts start, it makes sense to ensure that Chris Richards, Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun and Antonee Robinson will be available for the next match.

One player we’ll likely see return to the pitch tonight is Christian Pulisic, who missed the USMNT’s match against Australia with a calf injury. As a full participant in the team’s most recent training session, Pulisic said, “I feel good. I joined the team [practicing] the last couple days, and yeah, I’m hoping to play a part in tomorrow for sure.”
