USMNT Loss Reminder Turner needs to find a team to stay sharp

Matt Turner's decision to win the Panama game was under scrutiny.

The U.S. men's national team's amazing, frustrating and frustrating 1-0 loss to Panama in the CONCACAF National League semifinals on Thursday night has caused some concerns and concerns.

These include the team’s lack of creativity and passion, beating the Panamanians three times in the native soil over the past nine months and bringing the critical goalkeeper problem to the forefront at the forefront.

Should Matt Turner continue to be the first goalkeeper, even if he is not a regular goalkeeper in the Premier League?

The 31-year-old is Park Ridge, New Jersey won the Spurs in a brilliant performance of the New England Revolution before venturing to England in 2022. This season, he was loaned to Crystal Palace, which he used mainly in the Calaba Cup and the FA Cup. However, these games are very far apart.

This is not the best supplement for the national team goalkeeper.

Tony Meola breaks the game's goal

On post-match TV broadcast, Paramount+ analyst and former USMNT goalkeeper Tony Meola talked about the most important part of the goalkeeper game.

“I'm going back, I'm going to say that until we get to the World Cup is clarity, clarity, clarity, clarity, clarity, clarity,” he said.

Mela knew nothing about the goalkeeper.

Mera is a National Football Hall of Fame inductee, defender twice in the World Cup (1990 and 1994), and is the reserve for the third team (2002). He won 100 blocks for the national team. He was also the 2000 Major League Soccer MVP and led the Kansas City Wizards (now Kansas City Athletic) to a similar honor that year.

He has experienced all kinds of situations.

When the game is tied together later in the game, every game and every decision becomes more important and put it under a microscope.

A good example: Cecilio Walterman won the game in the fourth minute of Sofi Stadium parking time in Inglewood, California.

Meola talks about the small nuances in the order of score replays for viewers. Waterman put the ball into the lower left corner of the bottom left corner about 16 yards to the right of Turner, reaching out from Turner's right hand. Meola feels Turner should take another step from his goal to lower the angle.

“I looked at the angle that Matt Turner took,” he said. “I looked at the distance of the shot.

“At the end of the day, I’m not a moment like this, I’m not a blame on Matt Turner [Patrick] Agyemang had to find a way to put the ball behind the net. Josh Sargent had to find a way. Goalkeepers on the other end of the field must find a way to save them. ”

Mela later added: “The hardest thing for goalkeepers is when you have nothing to do and then suddenly you have something to do. It's the ultimate clarity. When you train every day, it's a rhythm. You'll have five, six, seven shots in a row. Coach, am I telling my goalkeepers to go back and correct it now?”

It is those close profits that determine the game, especially at the elite international level.

The impressive history of elite USMNT goalkeepers

Tim Howard beat USMNT in two World Cups.

Once, the U.S. gatekeeper situation envied the earth because the country had several high-quality shooters playing regularly at home and abroad.

Start working hard. In the beginning, Meola and Kasey Keller competed for the starting role. Then Brad Friedel entered the picture. Then Tim Howard came to adulthood. There are many other talented guardians. These include Brad Guzan and Nick Rimando, who play at home or transatlantic, but never had the chance to perform regularly for the United States due to their aforementioned competitors.

Turner became the latest news on the road to succession, starting with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and then disappointed with his club coach.

When the EPL season ends in May, Turner will need to decide whether to find a team regularly, both in the MLS and Europe.

During a Zoom press conference on Monday, March 17, Turner talked about his lack of time to play with Crystal Palace.

“I know that my club is not in the best situation right now, so if I want to play more stably, I have to make some changes in the department as well,” he said. “But if I continue to control the things that are good with the opportunity with the United States, I will be happy with the hat with the ring.”

Will Pochettino start in third place?

As for more direct concerns, against Canada's third place on Sunday (Paramon+, Univision, 6pm ET), Pochettino needs to decide whether to play Turner or one of his two back guardians, Zack Steffen (Colorado Rapids) or Patrick Schulte (Columbus Crew).

It might be wise to give Steffens or Schulte a chance to let Turner know that there is competition in his job. Sometimes, a little pressure may be the best motivation.

Of course Mela thinks so.

“I mean, this is third. I think you have to give the player a chance,” he said. “If the messaging is someone breathing around your neck, that's the messaging you're going to give the player. If the messaging is 'I just have to give one person a chance, that's the message. But I have to give someone a chance.
