Despite a mixed year at club level, Matt Turner retains the starting goalkeeper position for the USMNT. The article analyzes Turner's performance throughout 2024, highlighting his highs and lows, and discusses the uncertainty surrounding the starting goalkeeper position for the upcoming 2025 and World Cup.
The United States men's national team on Sunday announced Fulham fullback and London native Antonee Robinson as its player of the year . But as outstanding as Robinson was in 2024, he was just one piece of the puzzle that made up the USMNT 's roller-coaster year, and he wasn't the only player that had a strong case for the award. In a year where Matt Turner had a lot of ups and downs at club level, he still managed to retain the starting goalkeeper shirt for the U.S. men's national team.
The year started well for Turner, when the U.S. won the CONCACAF Nations League back in March, but in the lead up to the Copa América, we started to see some shaky performances from him, including shipping five goals against Colombia. But it was impressive in the way in which he bounced back from that in a Man of the Match display against Brazil. His 11 saves were the most by a U.S. goalkeeper since Tim Howard made 15 saves against Belgium at the 2014 World Cup. At Copa América, his performances were solid as the starting goalkeeper, but he picked up a bit of an injury in the Panama game and had to get subbed out in the second half, and then he had trouble with some of his distribution in the game against Uruguay. Turner has maintained the starting shirt down the fall stretch, since Pochettino has come in, while still really struggling at the club level to get any sort of minutes. The big question mark heading into 2025 — and then through the World Cup — is who will be the starting goalkeeper? It's Matt Turner's shirt to lose right now, but there's still some uncertainty about whether he will still be the starting goalkeeper in two year
