World Cup Watch: Turner vies for USMNT starting spot, White makes final push

Over 50 MLS players are expected to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner standing out as a strong contender for the USMNT starting spot. Turner, who has 53 caps and 27 career clean sheets, effectively earned his team four points last week with strong performances including a nine-save effort in a 1-1 draw against Inter Miami and key saves in a 2-1 win over Atlanta United. The column also highlights other MLS players, including White, making late pushes for World Cup roster spots.
