USMNT & Revs' Goalkeeper Matt Turner, and his unlikely rise to stardom | NBC Sports Boston

[@javilazo7522]

The man was a wall that whole tournament! He has my vote for #1 USMNT keeper!

[@justinauerbach2867]

Not number one because steffan is a beast

[@javilazo7522]

@@justinauerbach2867 he is too, still his spot to lose but we will see

[@paulmiller7838]

@@justinauerbach2867 Steffan is a rusty spork. He doesn't play and it showed in the Nations League. Matt is by and far the better shot stopper. Stop being delusional.

[@leonardorodriguez440]

if we play out the back then we need steffen if not we can keep using turner

[@paulmiller7838]

@@leonardorodriguez440 Steffen isn't that great at playing out of the back either though. And that is also not a reason to handy cap your team with a shot stopper who is out of form due to not playing and is frankly not as good.

Legend

[@tomhanlon2378]

And now he has earned a starting role as a keeper in the world cup ............amazing. So happy for him and will watch him make NJ and the USA proud.

[@jlb74a]

he said he was a good baseball player.... his eye-to-hand coordination probably gives him that edge.

[@davidsabillon5182]

I see his basketball skills all the time when the ball is high in the air and he perfectly times the jump. Good hands too, he catches the ball instead of punching most of the time.

[@creed7779311]

Such a likable person and to see him persevere is definitely something for kids to look up to.

[@victorsanchez8636]

He should honestly be the US number one Goal Keeper. The way he carried the team to the final and always held his composure in big moments was really entertaining to watch.

[@robdela3632]

Agreed, you can see an urgency and intensity that steffan hasn’t had his past couple of starts.

[@victorsanchez8636]

@@robdela3632 100%, Steffan feels too comfortable in his spot. That even if he makes a massive mistake the US is still going to make him number one. But with this tournament from Turner and him doing all little things right should challenge steffan for that number one spot. And I believe he will get that spot over Steffan.

[@AWCTB]

Frankly, that is 100% true, Stefan is not above matt turner anymore. Turner just keeps on getting better and better.

[@henrihopgood4562]

facts man singlehandedly won us the cup

[@paulmiller7838]

@@robdela3632 Mainly because Steffen is rusty from sitting on the bench all year long where as Matt is sharp and in form due to actually playing week in and week out. Plus Matt's positioning and reactions are better.

[@RazSkull673]

MVP of Gold Cup 2021 and its not even close. Matt made some stops that honestly I could not believe how fast he reacted. I believe in the hype!!!! Also Matt, that gaffe video of you trying to catch the ball but ends up in goal, yikes! The fact you recovered from that shows you work hard.

[@keeperman4]

It's only a matter of time until Matt is in a top five league in Europe. He is one of the best pure shot stoppers I've ever seen. As a goalkeeper myself, I love watching him play because of his positive attitude and fantastic talent.

[@laithsabunchi2632]

You got your wish from Arsenal

[@ilill3520]

[@csandsoccer4660]

Turner surely TURNED up big time in this tournament

This man kept the Yanks in the tournament. Way to represent young man, as there are several before you who can rest better knowing there was at least one was the recipient of the world class goal keeper skills!!! Here is to many exceptional performances to come in the not-too-distant future!

[@benjaminZ20]

This guy is a beast without him there wouldnt be a 🏆... He is definitely in the talks to be a starter, especially with Stefan bein hurt, but tgen theres Horvath and he showed up when he was needed man Idk but this guy is a monster in goal SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

[@austroco9027]

[@Daskippabalta]

😭😭😭

[@Royknwsall1986]

He's #2 right now and he is 1 with injury or poor form from Steffan.

[@Royknwsall1986]

@Matthew McCarthy He didnt say he got unnerved or scared... He stated more so how he hates playing there. Sounds to me like he hates having a beer thrown at him. Last I checked, as loud as a PL game is... There are no beer tosses at a player. Turner is more than good enough to play in the PL. He will be there... Just a matter of when.

[@Royknwsall1986]

@Matthew McCarthy Thats not disrespect or a dig on Steffen or Turner. Thats because Ederson is there and he only averages a clean sheet every other match. He has below 1 GAA and has made all of 6 errors in his 147 appearances. So, yeah, of course Steffen cant get minutes. But, dont sit there and act like Steffen or Turner cant play in the PL. For instance... Krul for Norwich has already given up 8 goals in 2 appearances. ill bet my life on it that both Steffen and Turner would have done better with the same team. Turner would do better because he is known as a shot blocker. You heard the guy, Turner is the best in the world and hes worked with a lot of elite goalies. End of discussion.

[@jstan97]

[@tripperdelaluna1]

Love the three top US keepers - Horvath, Steffan, and maybe now Turner. Turner could overtake Steffan for #2 easy. Steffan seems to only play in non league matches and might be Berhalters fav because they were at Crew together. MLS is drooling at the chance to have players on the USMNT for WCQ and possibly the WC - this might be their boy.

[@SlowerOne]

I love the shoe size comment. There are so many young players who wear boots that are too big.
