Matt Turner's sudden rise from playing soccer for the first time at 16 to being the number one goalkeeper for the US Men's National Team at the World Cup is inspirational - if not outright amazing.

The Arsenal keeper was just a third string goalkeeper with the New England Revolution back in the 2019 season, but worked his way back up the totem pole.

That led to his move to the Gunners over the summer and saw him get more experience with the USMNT under Gregg Berhalter.

Turner said he's taken the time to sit there in awe of his progression and his journey, hoping it could inspire others.
