USMNT prepares for World Cup group stage finale against Turkiye
Summary

The US men's national team will face Turkiye on June 25 in their World Cup group stage finale at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The match is significant only for the chance to rotate players, as the USMNT has already secured the top position in Group D. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino indicated that he will likely rest players with yellow cards to avoid suspensions in the knockout stage. Forward Christian Pulisic is available for selection after recovering from a calf issue, while Cristian Roldan remains day-to-day due to a muscle strain. Pochettino aims to experiment with his lineup ahead of the round of 32 match on July 1.
