USMNT World Cup Lineup vs. Türkiye: Balogun, Jedi, Adams, Richards Won't Start
FOX Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The U.S. men's national team will rest four regular starters—Tyler Adams, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards, and Antonee Robinson—in their final World Cup group stage match against Türkiye to avoid suspensions due to yellow cards.
- Manager Mauricio Pochettino is adjusting the lineup to prevent these players from receiving a second yellow card, which would result in automatic suspension for the Round of 32 knockout match.
- Christian Pulisic’s participation in the match is uncertain as he missed the previous game against Australia due to a calf injury sustained against Paraguay.
- The U.S. aims to complete the group stage with a perfect record and will next play in the Round of 32 on July 1 in the San Francisco Bay Area, likely against Bosnia and Herzegovina, pending official confirmation.
