USMNT to Rest Key Stars in World Cup Showdown vs Türkiye
TL;DR
USMNT will sit four regulars—Balogun, Adams, Richards, and Jedi Robinson—for the group-stage finale against Türkiye to avoid a second yellow and potential suspension in the knockout round; Christian Pulisic’s participation remains uncertain after a calf injury. The U.S., winner of Group D, aims to finish with a perfect group record and advance to the Round of 32 on July 1 in the San Francisco Bay Area, likely against Bosnia and Herzegovina, though that opponent hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
