FIFA 2022 World Cup Recap: Dumb defense from Walker Zimmerman costs USMNT win

The United States Men’s National Team kicked off their first World Cup game in eight years and walked away with just one point.

New England Revolution fans were excited to see Matt Turner get the start in net for his first World Cup appearance. Yunus Musha started in the midfield and became the youngest USMNT player to start a World Cup match.

The biggest changes came in the back and up top with Tim Ream being paired with Walker Zimmerman and Josh Sargent replacing Jesus Ferreira up top. Tim Weah will also start in the wing with Gio Reyna on the bench.
