Matt Turner’s Distribution Starts a Goal and Five other USA/Canada Thoughts from World Cup Qualifying

New England Revolution fans are well versed in Matt Turner’s ability to save just about everything. Yes, there was a rough patch for a few games based on Matt’s ridiculously high standards where a few oddball/soft goals snuck in but these things happen.

The biggest knock on Turner has always been his distribution, and people will point to his Gold Cup as an indication he’s not great with the ball at his feet. And while, that might be true compared to some guy who plays in Manchester, the USMNT shouldn’t be using Turner, or any of their goalkeepers for that matter, in any possession based system.
