Matt Turner pushed himself into contention with the USMNT over the summer of 2021. Already an established presence in MLS as the starting goalkeeper for the New England Revolution, Turner won the MVP award at the 2021 MLS All-Star Game. His strong summer continued into September World Cup qualifying. All of this is happening to a player not selected in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft and a late convert to focusing solely on soccer. Able to play for Lithuania, Turner became cap-tied to the United States during the 2021 Gold Cup.
